RE: How Biometrics Solve The Age Old “Security vs Convenience” Problem

in #technology8 years ago

Yeah but biometric options have some strong legal drawbacks imo.

You can not be forced to reveal a password to decrypt a device. You can be forced to give up any type of biometric used for authenticity.

Sort:  

THIS. Plus they can just put your finger on the scanner when you're passed out drunk. There is no real security in commercial biometrics.

Yeah, that's true. But they can force you to type your password too, right? I think these rules are different for different countries.

Well are they going to torture you if you say you don't know the password?

Good point!
