Apple Opened Up Pandora’s Box

According to some hackers, Apple has made biometrics unsafe for everyone. Android manufacturers that wanted to build touch ID set other priorities. You’d find it remarkable that Apple’s devices are ready to check fringerprints at the hardware level, but not by software. But they doubted that the fingerprint really remains in the unit because of the NSA scandal still remember.

Security came into focus recently after the NSA scandal. But not only security is important, stability is just as important. This calculator comes handy for calculating your web hosting account’s uptime and downtime.

There would be problems with fingerprint readers, in particular with the expected Android devices. On the one hand the Android manufacturer here wanted to rival Apple in nothing, on the other hand, the cost pressures will lead to compromises. Android devices would be sold very cheap with low margins. According to expectations the touch ID sensor will not be outdone by Android devices.

The really good fingerprint sensor touch ID was overcome within a few hours. The hackers expect that Android devices will use a sensor with even lower resolution than touch ID. In addition, they do not believe that the comparatively expensive chip technology from Apple will be used. To save a few pennies, the fingerprint checking will work via software or rather a cloud application.

Remarkably the fingerprint technology was popular almost ten years ago and it is unlikely it happens again. Apple have thus opened up the Pandora’s box for the hackers, and paved the way for the widespread dissemination of fingerprint scanners.
