for all the latest news in information around the clock it's deja vue dot com for all of us here in berlin i am michael o'connor please stay with us for more news as always at the top of the yeah. i'm going crazy thing in all the time. how to handle newlines in times of the koran offend them and d.-w. reporter. just like everyone else and she's looking for answers thankfully with the help of t.v. expects fewer than one. thank you is not life as we know it.

i'm sure that it was all. over. the review. 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 spot a system registers my face and that's the bomb and know which customer is next in line i've never found my face wore 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 facial features. the technology is already used around the world. and for authenticating patients for important drugs or for online banking on smartphones. even systems that look under your skin. such as infrared scanners matching oxygen poor blood 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.

sounds like biometrics super practical. those endless lead character password combinations happy days or is there a cat's we talk to professor to find out if teachers internet technologies and systems at a part of them based research institute what's more secure possible words biometrics . i think up look is that we should be using your fingerprint to log in is obviously more convenient 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 that's much easier than typing a password the passwords are often we get halfway to pass they're a little out of date of what password protected systems are easy to implement that's probably why they're so common.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.
12:19 pm
for years that's a costly 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. 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 passport by contrast is something i need to memorize i should write it down anywhere because otherwise anyone who finds it can pretend to be safe. 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 hard of a hacker to get to unfortunately that's not always the team of israeli research has 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
12:21 pm
a bit worried about how successful hackers have been at odds with biometrics. password can be stolen someone can watch it enter it somewhere or find where you wrote it down or even just get it 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 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 scan or. hackers from germany's chaos computer club have
12:22 pm
developed a wax hand that fooled a palm vein scanner. and chinese hackers spoofed apple's face ideal life 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 as 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 by a measure of 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 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 now get people's profile images and upload them onto your own software criminals etc in the place upload images all over the life you can pick up the images are the security system and the person crosses your cameras your system picks it up so this is 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
12:24 pm
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 no threat to anyone i knew the police were there filming me and capturing my data is actually. 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 looting we are developing and there are actually people being taken off the streets who are wanted for offenses or court direct result of the deployment of
12:25 pm
this technology. the question remains whether the people 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 research is already working on so-called cancelable biometrics here the by measuring data is encrypted before it's stored in a nutshell 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 then 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 then communicate
12:26 pm
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 him. given 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 don't follow. the vietnam digital business behavioral system is that the other
12:27 pm
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 trust and stories calculated it and only at this course is shared with the service providers will pass both a service of this means your phone alone registers your movements no sensitive private data is saved on a cloud or shared with a service provider that makes this method particularly secure and. put an end to the big problem we currently have the legal password files and leaked by metrical data that will cyber criminals are selling the states or online by using behavioral profiles this problem would disappear overnight. behavioral security technology and monte factor authentication are very secure as a rule of thumb the more elaborate the security method and senses the better but so
12:28 pm
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 things like using a fingerprint for online banking a great idea or pretty reckless that has no he it has all for me bye bye.
