reminder now the top story that we're following for you at this hour violent protests on the streets of paris demonstrations in the capital and other french cities marking the anniversary of the yellow vest movement police responding with water cannons and tear gas. washington news live from berlin up next it's shift in the meantime all the latest news available at www dot com thanks washington. after. the. markets. to more of. your business magazine has made germany on t.w.

. earth a home for saving googling genius tell stories of creative people and innovative projects around the world ideas to protect the climate and boost green energy solutions by global ideas the environment series of global 3000 on t.w. and on line. my fingerprint my face the way i move all of these can be turned into a unique biometrics and be used to identify me for example for making online payments but how secure is this technology really today on shift. when i wait at this bar a system registers my face and that's the bomb and know which customer is next in line i've never found my face war useful or you. my fingerprint to unlock my phone

and to get access to this high security area a computer 1st needs to scan my body movements biometrics increasingly replacing typical passwords and access keys for example. systems can recognize a person. their fingerprints. around the world. and for patients for important drugs or for online banking on smartphones. even systems that look. infrared scanners matching. tissue. patterns can be matched. currently developing technology that can recognize

a person on the basis of their heartbeat. others are working on identifying. sounds like biometrics super practical. those. combinations happy days or is there a cats we talk to professor chris to find out if teachers internet technologies and systems at parts of them based research institute was more secure possible words biometrics. i think outlook is that we should be using your fingerprint to log in it's obviously more convenient that you just put your finger on the reader are identified and then you're in. that's much easier than typing a password the passwords are often we get hacked they're a little out of date but password protected systems are easy to implement that's probably why they're so common. that.

that's a cost issue mirrors and so on the most sense as i can use to scan a fingerprint or face the more accurately i can capture someone's biometric profile as a for their. the security of this technology depends on how well it's implemented or if there are enough senses this is more secure than passwords. solution talk iris recognition fingerprint scans and facial recognition similar in the sense that the old check for a single constant biometric feature. which the system recognizes me for a password by contrast is something i need to memorize i should write it down anywhere because otherwise anyone who finds it can pretend to be me. to complete the future

is a multi factor authentication or at least 2 factor authentication of code and i think that ultimately the most user friendly systems will be the ones used the most. so biometric identification is convenient but is our personal data safe companies using this tech have to ensure that biometric data is securely stored and encrypted ideally and user devices and not if some clout just makes it harder for hackers to get to unfortunately that's not always done team of israeli researchers managed to hack into a 23 gigabyte database with over 27000000 records containing fingerprints facial profiles and much more but of course possible databases have also been compromised beyond large scale attacks there's also

a risk of individual systems or devices being cracked and i'm a bit worried about how successful hackers have been at odds with biometrics. password can be stolen someone can watch you enter it somewhere or find where you wrote it down or even just guessing this can't happen with biometric identification tag biometrics are convenient and save users from having to remember passwords. but unlike. passwords you can't change your biomedical data if it's been hacked. and under lab conditions hackers have managed to outsmart biometric encryption technologies. for instance they duped an i phone fingerprint scanner using a fingerprint lifted from a glass. and combining a picture of a person's iris with a contact lens got them past a samsung phone iris scanner. hackers from germany's chaos computer club have

developed a wax hand that fooled a palm vein scanner. and chinese hackers spoofed apple's face id live miss detection technology with just a pair of glasses and some tape. we should stress all these hacks were carried out under lab conditions the quality of the system sensors largely determines how safe it is which means smartphones are easier to outwit than elaborate security systems . clearly biometrics aren't as safe as you might think even though a scenario like taking a fake wex hand along to break into a high security area isn't very realistic either still many tech companies keep rolling out biometric security features the latest apple and google models for example let you make payments using facial recognition tech pretty convenient but it's not personal data safe with these companies and what if companies or states

get too nosy in great britain c.c.t.v. cameras are ubiquitous the average londoner is caught on camera $300.00 times every day what if facial recognition technology were applied to analyze that c.c.t.v. footage. surveillance cameras are widespread in britain and london has been called c.c.t.v. capital. people have even begun using them independently. the authorities. because you can go on facebook get people's profile images and upload them onto your own software criminals etc in the place uploaded images all over the line you can pick up the images are the security system crosses your cameras your system picks it up so it's not easy perhaps but it's also an invasion of privacy in britain many are used to c.c.t.v. cameras but since authorities have started combining surveillance cameras with

facial recognition tag some say this goes too far people like ed bridges from cardiff who recently made a shocking discovery the van was parked just around the corner and the by the time i was close enough to see facial recognition technology written on the phone it had already captured my data several times over and i felt like an invasion of my privacy i'm a law abiding member of the public i was going about my daily business i wasn't committing any crime i was no threat to anyone and yet the police were there filming me and capturing my data essentially. bridges took the welsh police to court and lost he's currently appealing that ruling but for now police continue to use their tactic scanning hundreds of faces per 2nd checking them against wanted list. we are learning we are developing and there are actually people being taken off the streets who are wanted for offenses or to be the court direct result of the deployment of this

technology and. the question remains whether the answer really justify the means. if you ask me we should all be wary of handing out our biometric data i wonder if the convenience outweighs the potential risks researchers already working on so-called cancelable biometrics here the biometric data is encrypted before it stuart and not show this means that not my actual face is thought. but a digitally altered version if anyone has the system i can delete my data and create a new biometric password that sounds pretty good and even more options like behavioral biometrics here smartphones and wearables analyze how we type or the way you walk for example. there's a software that captures how fast we walk the length of our steps and our head movement and uses this data to create a movement profile by which it authenticates us the smartphone can communicate with

a gate for example and unlock it when we approach. them but if your movement doesn't match the profile the door will remain locked simple behavioral sequences such as how you get your smartphone out of your pocket can be enough to identify you. in finding and tying this technology into everyday movements can be very convenient because you wouldn't have to do anything to authenticate yourself from. the software can tap into your smartphones and wearables sensors. then it calculates a trust level based on your behavior. this means it assesses the odds that it's really you using the device and not some stranger. identified by. vietnam to judge his behavioral system is that the other party does

not actually need to save your movement profile. or for you this data is only registered by your smartphone that's where the trusted score is calculated and only if the score is shared with the service provider path but a service of this means your phone alone registers your movements and no sensitive private data is saved on a cloud or shared with a service provider. that makes this method particularly secure. it would put an end to the big problem we currently have leagues past with files and leaked by metrical data that cyber criminals are selling the states are online by using behavioral profiles this problem would disappear overnight behavioral security technology and multi factor authentication are very secure as a rule of thumb the more elaborate the security method and sensors the better but

so far hackers have always managed to crack biometric with security systems and allow conditions facial recognition fingerprint scanners palm then recognition nothing is 100 percent safe which doesn't mean we should be going back to passwords because these also get stolen plus many people think 2 factor authentication is a hassle and that's that we should think carefully about if we want to use by a measurable password at all and which companies we trust with this sensitive information what do you think are things like using a fingerprint for online banking a great idea or pretty reckless that is know here as well from me by by.
