iPhone X, Apple even after many years of using Touch ID finger scan are deleted, a comprehensive switch to face scan Face ID unlock, and is expected in the future will gradually be fully converted to Face ID. However, Face ID data and Not only one unlock, which is currently open to developers of the App but TrueDepth footage is too HD, reveals another issue here.
Researchers have earlier developed an App that shows how much of Apple's Face ID data is open to App developers and finds that it can make a 3D grid model of the user's face and get real-time information including eyes, mouth, etc. 52 kinds of facial subtle movements.The developer said the information can be stored in the developer's computer, but with the information plus a high-definition, enough to make a very high-definition mask.
In response, the spokesman Tom Neumayr repeatedly stressed that they attach great importance to user privacy, a lot of confidentiality under the iPhone X's Face ID data, and when Apps requires iPhone X's front camera, it will require user licenses , And explain the use of data.According to the news that Apple is about to modify the provisions of the App developers require Face ID information required to sign the privacy statement.
However, this series of actions did not really solve the problem. Relevant developers only need to provide an 'explanation' to get the user's detailed face information. Once the information is leaked, the impact caused by the problem may be very far-reaching.
Unlike the password, the face is not what the user wants to change. If the mind has mastered the face information and a certain level of technology, even if it can not be used to unlock the mobile phone, the prepared mask may become an illegal part of the fraud tool, for example There are lenders that require users to record a 'nodding' video as a confirmation of approval of the loan.After Face ID debuts, there will also be plenty of Android vendors eager to use similar technologies in the future as users, and we seem to need to be aware of the problems early .
