Apple at the launch of the iPhone X, reported that face recognition system Face ID it is much more safe from the Touch ID fingerprint scanner. The company claims the chance of someone unlocking your phone is 1:1.000,000, up from 1:50.000 with Touch ID.
But that does not necessarily mean that Face ID will protect your device as Vietnamese security firm Bkav has unlocked Apple's super duper feature with the help of a specially crafted mask with the face of an iPhone X owner.
Η μάσκα κατασκευάστηκε με εκτυπωτή 3D, 2D εικόνες, μια μύτη από πυρίτιο και άφθονο makeup. Το αποτέλεσμα όπως θα δείτε και σεις ήταν αρκετά περίεργο, αλλά ικανό να ξεγελάσει το Face ID του iPhone X, ούτως ώστε να νομίζει ότι πρόκειται για τον πραγματικό ιδιοκτήτη της συσκευής.
The company from Vietnam says that with special processing, and really subtle tweaks to certain parts of the face, they are enough to bypass the face recognition of Apple, as you will see in the video below.
It goes without saying that this is a very expensive mask that requires a lot of expertise, e.gconditions and time. So it will probably be a bit difficult to see many masks to circulate. But this particular experiment brings to the fore a very big issue for Apple:
If a security company managed to bypass face recognition, a few days after the official launch of the device, that means others could do the same. The first name that comes to mind is the FBI.
The US Federal Service often criticizes Apple for not helping the authorities gain access to locked iPhone terrorists.
So the FBI obviously delights in the above news, as it has the know-how, resources and time to create masks…
