In the presentation of the iPhone X Apple assured us that the new unlocking method, Face ID, it was much safer than its predecessor: the Touch ID. The first impressions both in the presentation tests and all those who already have the device in their hands they are good, even in the dark or in different situations.
The security engineers of a company dedicated to these issues, Bkav Corporation, has achieved unlock iPhone X with a mask. That is, they have managed to unlock the terminal bypassing the enormous security of Face ID with a mask. But you should not worry because this process requires an exhaustive work that we will tell you below.
Face ID is very secure ... but they have managed to unlock it with a mask
When Touch ID launched a couple of iPhones ago, security engineers tried to create synthetic fingers with prints to try to unlock the terminals without the original owner's fingerprint. In the end they succeeded in trying to prove that the system was not as secure as it seemed. They are extreme cases but they have to be proven.
The same thing happened with Face ID. Bkav Corporation has developed a mask with the aim of fooling the iPhone X and its Face ID technology based on different depth sensors. This mask has led five days to develop it, so it is hard work to get the final result.
This mask uses skin specifically created to bypass iPhone X security, in addition to using 3D technology with specialized printers. Also in some places, as you can see in the image that heads this article, they have been used 2D images.
The cost of the mask and the production of the same amount to more than 150 dollars. It is necessary to reflect on this result. The reality is that the security methods are so that our data is more secure but There is always the possibility that if someone wants to access, they will end up doing so. On this occasion, if you have an iPhone X you don't have to worry since the security that Face ID offers us is much higher than what this type of results makes it seem to us.
These experiments push an unlocking system that has been developed to efficiently protect data to the limit. It must also be taken into account that those public figures they have to take special care since in case of losing your iPhone, yes you could have a problem since your mask would be easier to perform because it is exposed to the public domain.
Oh my God, the Chinese man pretending to be surprised as if he had opened a vault, and has almost had to generate the user's face in 3D, for that they have to scan your face and other polleces, that is, it is quite difficult for someone to follow this method to steal your data.
