Do you actually use biometrics ?

in #science6 years ago

Fingerprint, face, retina, etc...

There are lots of convenient services on the street, but when you use them you need ID authentication. Anything you do is login first.

Although the password, the method of inputting a character string for a long time was mainstream, so-called biometric authentication such as fingerprint authentication, retina authentication, face authentication, etc. is also installed in familiar gadgets such as smartphones. Everyone, are you actually using this function.

In the IBM web media infinity, interesting data on biometrics and security was introduced from a large-scale survey of about 4,000 people in the US, Asia, and Europe.

The idea is to be different for "certification" by the generation, the so-called Millennial called the young generation is, like biometric authentication that the trend can be seen. On the other hand, many people over the age of 55 use the traditional password system, but that's why there is a tendency to make passwords more complicated than the younger generation.

For people in the field of technology, biometrics has an image such as "next generation certification". But there are also many people who are still concerned about the elderly generation, so further innovation may be advanced in the future.

I wonder if one day we will realize a dreamlike technology called "perfect authentication".


Sort:  

One thing about a normal password is you can change it if it gets compromised. What happens if one's biometric key gets compromised? How do I change my thumbprint or retinal scan? Or in the future, DNA scan maybe?
