this you guys want to go to italy so it's forgettable to what we've been seeing want to have been doing 5 years after the yoga project started here it is providing respite for many long term it provides them with the hope of a path to recovery. this is the news live from berlin don't forget all the latest news available 247 on our website that's dot com i'm called aspen thanks want to. go to the girl next you to check. the good life story. with exclusive. must see concerning culture to ensure a. place to be for curious minds. do it yourself networkers.

subscribing and don't miss out. and on demand. language courses. video and audio. w. . 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 i use 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's specific physical attributes their fingerprints. the technology is already used around the world. army doctors and patients for important drugs or for online banking on smartphones. even systems that look under your skin so to speak such as infrared scanners that are used in vain matching oxygen. absorbs more in from.

can be matched. scientists are currently developing technology that can recognize a person on the basis of their heartbeat. others are working on identifying a person. sounds like biometrics super practical need those endless lead character password combinations happy days or is there a cats we talk to professor christophe minor to find out if he chose internet technologies and systems at potsdam based research institute more secure possible words biometrics. i think up look is that we should be using your fingerprint to log in is obviously more convenient than 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 happy to pass they're

a little out of date but password protected systems are easy to implement that's probably why they're so common. that. as far as that's a cost issue mirrors and so on the most senses i can use to scan a fingerprint or face the more accurately i can capture someone's biometric profile 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 or. 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 been exchanged. 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 encrypt it ideally on end 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 $23.00 gigabyte database with over $27000000.00 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 outwitting biometrics. password can be stolen someone can watch it 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 past. and you can't change your biometric 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 old 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 ideal life in its 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 a 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's models for

example let you make payments using facial recognition tech pretty convenient but is my 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 times every day but 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 europe's c.c.t.v. capital. people have even begun using them independently of the authorities. because you can go on facebook get people's profile images and easy upload them onto your own software criminals etc in the place uploaded images all over the life 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 tech some say this goes too far people like 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 fan 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 tap 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 court as direct result of the deployment of this technology. the question remains whether the ends 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 are already working on a so-called cancelable biometrics here the by measuring data is encrypted before it's stored 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 unlocking when we approach. 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. the time 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. vietnam to join this behavioral system is that the other party does not actually saving. movement profile because we feel this data is only registered by your smartphone that's where the trust and stories calculated you and only 3 scores shared with the service provider passed at the. service of this means your phone alone registers your movements no sensitive private data is safe from a cloud or shared with a service provider that makes this method particularly secure. put an end to the big problem we currently have leaked password files and leaked by metrical data cyber criminals are selling the state's 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 create biometric with security systems under 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 not 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 now here as well for me by by.
