Security Concerns Surround new Apple TouchID system

Apple hyped its new security system scan

Touch ID fingerprint a "practical and highly secure access to your phone," but if a new report is correct, the system may not be as safe as the company claims. the pirates demand chaos Computer Club (CCC) to have successfully bypassed Touch ID "using means of all the easy days."

"in fact, Apple's sensor just has a higher resolution compared to sensors so far, "a pirate called Starbug said." So we only need to ramp up the resolution of our false. "

While hackers claim that the method is easy, is complicated enough that most of the iPhone 5S users are not as likely to have their safety compromised by everyday thief would have to be prepared to get a high-resolution photograph of a fingerprint and produce a false physical. (It is also not nearly as easy to circumvent Touch ID with this method, for example, deceiving the Android Face Unlock feature with a simple picture of a person).

But the relative simplicity of the method, which involves photographing a fingerprint left behind on a surface, and then creating a glue model of it, called the sophistication of the touch technology in ID question. Before Touch ID was officially announced, Bruce Schneier Wired noted that fingerprint readers have long faced vulnerabilities, and that the simplest readers can be fooled with good copy.

Although to be fooled by a fake finger glue is great for touch ID, there is no question of the most serious security system. On Friday, Senator Al Franken said that the system "raises substantial privacy issues," and wrote a letter to Apple CEO Tim Cook asking for more details on Touch ID. Critics fear that the fingerprints of a user can be accessible to hackers or other bad actors. - something Apple says is virtually impossible because Touch ID says only store locally a mathematical representation of the fingerprint of a user
