1. No Need to Wait - Already Defeated by Itself
“AI May Soon Defeat Biometric Security, Even Facial Recognition Software” In this
article Artificial Intelligence is taken up as a major threat to biometrics security.
Biometrics is already defeated, however, by itself where it has to depend on a
password/PIN as a fallback means against false rejection.
More specifically, biometrics vendors may be able to make their products much more
fake-proof, but even the perfectly fake-proof biometrics would still be less secure than a
password where it is co-used with a backup password; two entrances placed in parallel
provide nice convenience not only to consumers but also to criminals as outlined in this
video and closely explained in this article.
And yet, consumers are still adopting fingerprints and selfies. It is presumably because
1 placing a finger on a sensor and taking a selfie look far simpler and easier than
feeding PIN/passwords for consumers
2. consumers are not informed that the biometrics and the PIN/password they had
registered are deployed in ‘multi-entrance’ method that brings down the security to the
level lower than a PIN/password-only login. (Reversely ‘multi-layer’ deployment brings
up security)
While informed consent must be respected, misinformed consent must be corrected and
disinformed consent punished, particularly when it brings a serious case of the false
sense of security (illusion of safety).
Biometrics vendors are expected to explicitly tell the consumers that biometrics is a tool
to improve convenience and must be used with a yet stronger password/Pin where they
do not like to ruin the security that passwords/PIN have so far provided.
