Cracked iphone 5s fingerprint certification ten rumors: no leaks

Sina Science and technology news Beijing time of September 23 morning, the Canadian "Toronto Star" published an article today, the IPhone 5s Touch ID fingerprint scanning certification system is a "bad", and cited 10 reasons. The publication of this article has sparked a heated debate. But Chris Rawson, a Tauw contributor to the Technology web site, Chris Lausen that the IPhone 5s fingerprint scan had been misread. The Toronto Star article, he says, feels as if it had been written by someone who has never used an iphone. The following are the 10 major reasons cited in the Toronto Star and Lawson's article-by-clause rebuttal. 1. Video shows that a cat can unlock the iphone 5s. Lawson: not only the cat claw, you can also scan the other parts of the body with the Touch ID. The point is, if you set the Touch ID unlock fingerprint is your thumb, but put the cat paw in the home key to scan, what will happen? Of course it can't unlock. 2. If Apple makes a mistake, the field of biometrics will regress for years. Lawson: Why so pessimistic? Perhaps Apple is finally doing the right thing in the field of biometrics, making the field a few years ahead. 3. We have not encountered the problem addressed by this solution. Lawson: The problem has been there before, such as "My CD player is very good, why do I spend 500 of dollars to buy a MP3 player?" "And, for example," My BlackBerry is fine. Why spend 500 dollars to buy a mobile phone without a keyboard? "4. Apple is using people's fear to sell products. Lawson: For the touch ID, Apple wrote on its official website: You look at the iPhone hundreds of times dozens of times a day, even more frequently. Each time you enter a password, you will slow down the speed of your use. But it's important to do this to make sure that someone else can't use your iPhone. The IPhone 5s makes it faster, easier, and even more futuristic to log on because we have a new fingerprint identification sensor: Touch ID. Put your finger on the main screen button, and that's it, the IPhone is unlocked. This way, you can access your phone very securely and easily. The purchase or download of the App Store and the ibooks Store can also be verified by fingerprints without having to enter a password. And the Touch ID can read the fingerprint 360 degrees, which means that whether your iPhone is in portrait, landscape, or any other direction, it can read your fingerprint and identify you. Because the touch ID allows you to add multiple fingerprints, it also knows the person you trust. 5. The water or food residue on the finger will cause the device to be unrecognizable. Lawson: Fingers with food residue do not operate the touch screen well. Before using this 500-dollar smartphone, wipe the dirty hands clean first. iphone screenAlthough resistant to oil, it is not always possible to manipulate the touch screen with an oil hand. 6. The equipment contains its own information, which Apple can use to retrieve and reuse. Lawson: First, the IPhone 5s identification chip can only be used to store encrypted data related to the Touch ID. Second, the iphone does not store fingerprint data, it scans the fingerprint and converts it into a string of data. Copying to other places is useless. Also, if someone takes your iphone and wants to get your fingerprints, then they just need to scatter the powder to extract the fingerprints. 7. As long as you open the complex software, there will be problems. Lawson: I really don't know how to respond to this question. 8. There is only one target market: people who do not worry about security issues. Lawson: Not everyone cares about smartphones, people are using "feature phones" that can only call and send messages. This has no effect on people who use smartphones to play games, read books and shoot high-definition video. 9. There are technical difficulties with new products. Lawson: "I don't think it's going to be popular because it's not perfect at the technical level." This technique is not good enough. "For such a view, many media do not agree." Depending on the feedback received, the Touch ID is "available." 10. Everyone will use it at first, but fresh energy will pass. Lawson: "People will use it at first, but later on because of the delay, we are no longer using it." "Feedback from people who have used the Touch ID shows that there is no latency problem with the Touch ID. This is much more convenient than typing the password multiple times a day. Matchless)
