Can those Credit Systems be it China’s or any social networking services be gamed? I’ve seen a lot of people deleting their accounts out of fear for their data and privacy. But at the same time, a lot people get the system to work in their favor, e.g r/churning. I’m not dismissing the harm or discouraging conversation for privacy. Just asking if we can hack it.
First time a phone was advertised unlocking with facial recognition, it took one day for researchers to unlock it with a printed photograph. Try that with modern phones..
I have done three years research on that topic: yes there are out there! Do they work: to some extent yes. Can it be bypassed: like any system yes.
I still don’t get it: why would you choose something that’s so hard to change, if ever, for a store ID? It’s convenient but is it secure? There are photos of me waving with my palms out...
Do you really think this is a photo of your palm they're storing?
No doubt there are 3D scanners (to map the elevation of your palms, the depth of the lines, etc.), infrared imaging and a slew of other minor sensors. To make this fast, they need to effectively correlate enough of the data to identify you without relying solely on a single thing.
We already know there are solid theoretical basis for rebuilding 3d spaces from photos. Infrared imaging doesn't dramatically get different data from a regular camera except maybe picking up your veins a bit more clearly.
There aren't a bunch of other sensors available.. probably some heat/temperature just to make sure it's a real palm but that's not for uniqueness.
“ One reason was that palm recognition is considered more private than some biometric alternatives because you can’t determine a person’s identity by looking at an image of their palm.”
Wow. Never thought of that. But is it easy to reconstruct veins?
