city and so this 6 month to demonstrate is barricaded themselves in hong kong polytechnic university while dozens of pro-government supporters trying to clean the area. and got a buyout rajapaksa has been officially declared winner of sri lanka's presidential election rajapaksa took more than half the vote in the south asian island nation which is still recovering from a series of day of deadly bombings last a stuff. up next for a shift living in the digital age more news headlines coming up the top of the hour i'm rebecca that isn't done and thank you. susan and now we're going to look at me affectionately ancient but as affectionately as you can. be in your continent in the middle of his election campaign in the year 2000 the documentary was filmed for russian television to turn the camera back on of course the film secretly chronicled the power grab actually

everything was precisely played instruction. featuring a top supporting role. to the freedom of russia. and featuring a lead role like you've never seen before. the other mirsada marriage to the ends justify the means. to tins witnesses starts december 13th on d. 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 a. this by

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 specific physical attributes their fingerprints facial features iris. technology is already used around the world. army doctors and for authenticating 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 vein matching oxygen. absorbs more in from around.

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 letter number and character password combinations happy days or is there a catch we talk to professor christoph miner to find out if teachers internet technologies and systems at a part of them based research institute was more secure of as a possible words or biometrics. i think outlook is that we should be using your fingerprint to log in it's obviously more convenient you just put your finger on the reader those 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 of what password protected systems are easy to implement that's probably why they're so common. that. that's a cost to see e-mails 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 for. the security of this technology depends on how well it's implemented or if there are enough senses this is more secure than passwords to follow. solution finger up 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 need. 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 the 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 password 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. 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 do get 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 scan or. packers 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 news 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 it's an area 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 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 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 c.c.t.v. capital. people have even begun using them independently of the a thaw. yes. because you can go on facebook now get people's profile images and easy upload software criminals etc please upload images all over the line you can pick up the. security system and that person crosses your cameras your system picks it up so this is easy now 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 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 next 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 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 are 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. the 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. it 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. everything finding and tying this technology into everyday movements can be very convenient because you wouldn't have to do anything to authenticate yourself if. 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.

i did 5. vietnam to just this behavioral system is that the other party does not actually need to save your movement profile by or for you this data is only registered by your smartphone that's where the trusted score is calculated and only this score is shared with the service provider passed out built a service. this means your phone alone registers your movements no sensitive private data is saved on a cloud or shared with a service provider that may. this method particularly secure. put an end to the big problem we currently have leaked deposit files and leaked by metrical data cyber criminals are selling the state or 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 by a measurable 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 now here as well for me by by.

they're the future of zimbabwe students at the prestigious falcon college. here boys and girls of different races learn together. when they finish school they take on the responsibility of fighting to ensure zimbabwe is a tolerant and democratic country the elite according to school. next on g.w. . they are aiming high. for the donors the caricature of. their hope to become nothing tights. their dream a better future for their families. their past a rocky and dangerous one. where giving up is not an option.

to disappointment to let. me take football personally i do it with a little bit wonderful people and stories that make the game so special. for all true fans fall for such a. pick up more than football on line. dawn is breaking in southern as in bob wake and the animals in the bush i just waking up here in the countryside far from any major city ice falcon college. it's just tough to fight in the morning and the dorms are all quiet.

everyone's asleep.
