RE: How Biometrics Solve The Age Old “Security vs Convenience” Problem
No it doesn't. Biometrics is shit. It has 0 entropy. All biometric information is public, because it's easy to access it.
- You touch your touchscreen, and some malicious app has your fingerprint ☑
- You go out and somebody films you, now they have your facial information ☑
- Somebody phones you or talks to you and records the conversation, now they have your voice ☑
It's literally that easy to hack somebody's bank account, who will use biometric data to access it.
But don't phones have like that thing where it won't work if it is not on a living thing? It's not universal but companies can indeed integrate such technology.
Acess control is not equal to encryption. Sure you can prohibit people from using your things, but that is too superficial.
It's just easier to just use actual secret phrases to access things. Passwords are good. But if you want to make it more convenient then use an access card:
Of course the card can be stolen, but that is another issue. I'd just use memorizable mnemonics instead. Thats the more secure and most convenient way.
