for the rest of eternity in the data centers of Apple gespeichtert? Your fingerprint. (According to Apple, the fingerprint is repeatedly encrypted and can not be reconstructed, which, however, many critics doubt)
With the launch of the new iPhone a few days ago Apple has unfortunately only a few of the “missionaries” can make their brand fully satisfied. Too large is the expectation of the new designer brand. But Apple has the only times not necessary. Why should they? The brand has a very distinguished reputation. In addition to some relatively unspectacular hardware improvements but especially the iOS mobile operating system was developed and is known as the heart of any smartphone. So I think Apple has done a good job overall in recent months, but the first “revolutionary” fingerprint sensor in a mass-marketed electronics equipment from California, the company is now calling an armada of data protection to the plan. And it could have gone differently, as the software “Silent Scythe” the Illinois Institute of Technology demonstrates.
The new fingerprint sensor and the intelligence
The integration of the fingerprint sensor in the mass media for many iPhone is a further step towards a future in which our whole identities can be carried around on a USB stick and replaced as often exchanged or abused. The new fingerprint sensor in new smart phone from Apple was probably built exactly why – at least we know who invested in US-American information technology giants at least since Edward Snowden and pulling the strings – keyword: intelligence. This is known to subsidize the introduction of new technologies that could be used for better espionage, surveillance and “counter-terrorism”. To this end up also includes the introduction of a fingerprint sensor in the new iPhone, and probably in all other subsequent equipment of the world’s most popular computer design company.
fingerprint Why? – Silent Scythe would be the safer alternative
shame that Apple on the train “Biometrics” jumps up and thus inspires not only the industry but also paves the way to an uncertain future. And the Apple designers knew guarantee of a better alternative, which is being developed by two scientists at the Illinois Institute of Technology. The two have a better alternative to Apple fingerprint sensor found that, according to submissions had a 99% accuracy in various tests without biometric data of its user, such as the finger-print reads.
The software “Silent Scythe” also works with the round button on the iPhone or iPad. The software does not detect the fingerprint but measures the type of use of the iPhones. As the user presses the button for ordinary? With what strength, for how long, at what angle, what is the biggest pressure point? The angle at which the phone is held, and so on. These data are then compared with the profile of the user and the phone unlocked if this fits – 99% hit rate alles.Kein says finger print that shall dwell forever in Apple’s data center, but simply the measurement of their own behavior with Phone. It could be as simple the software, but thanks to the intelligence agencies like NSA and CIA and how it does not mean we all now get fingerprint sensors in the best and the most popular smartphones and tablets on the market. And that’s probably just the beginning ….video for the new iPhone 5S
