| Epilogue Biometric locks on the cabin portals, so we could move in. Eran and I picked quarters amidships?creamy beige bulkheads; Berber carpeting ... |
| I always thought the scariest thing about biometric security was that if someone really want to break into whatever you've protected then instead of stealing a code, they would steal your finger or something of the sort. When you think about it this way, biometrics doesn't look all that appealing. |
| Is it really possible to get through biometric locks if you don't have authorized access? If it is, then you're not really secured with those biometric locks. I just wonder how others can steal your own unique finger prints. Isn't that the same technology that is used in some laptop computers nowadays? If others can fake your finger prints, that means that your files are not safe in your own laptop even if you have a biometric lock. |
| Hi there! I think that's a little scary. Nowadays, you really can't be sure of the safety of your files. I think, lock manufacturers should do something about this. There are really people who are always after the belongings of other people. I hope that we, too, have to be responsible of our own things. It is our own liability, too. Thank you so much and have a great day to all! |
| That is very true. There is no room for being that confident on everything nowadays. There would always be these people who would do bad at your stuffs, stealing and ruining them. And so it is important that we do try to find out some good ways to keep our files and things secured at all times. Locks like these are great. Thanks for sharing guys and good day to all. |
| Technology is really advancing nowadays. And biometric locks are one of their products. This biometric lock secures your important things and files. It takes your unique physical characteristics like irises, vein patterns, hand prints, and fingerprints and uses them to identify you. But there is news in which people can still find ways of stealing these personal characteristics. So it is still important not to be confident about the security of your things and make sure to double check your belongings. Safety should be done first. |
| "Not quite."
Biometic locks do not take "your unique physical characteristics". They take a digital representation of those characteristics, or more exactly some measurement of those characteristics.That digital presentation may be used as an encryption key, or an "identification" number for a database look up, or as a simple comparison string to "unlock" something. The risk of such systems are enormous: - If the database information is changed (ie: hacked) so that when person A's biometic data is input it gives the information for person B, then person A unquestionably becomes person B. - If the digital presentation of the biometric data is stored and input, rather than being read, person A could "simply" send the biometric data for person B and become them. Open your eyes and look at the big picture! |
