Passwords? A relic, and an insecure one at that.
instead of scanning your face (which can be spoofed) or fingerprints (which can be copied), these systems scan the ‘pattern’ of the veins running inside your palm – something that’s unique to you, and absolutely can’t be faked.
Consider me sceptical.
If something could read them then I’m sure something can take that and copy it
A few years ago I saw a talk how some hackers where able to fool arm vein scanners. I think it was a talk on the chaos communication congress
Was it done in such way it could just as easy to fool multiple scanners at the same time? As in scanning eye, finger and palm at the same time. Though I wonder how expensive/difficult/error prone it would be to implement something like that.
No, it was only focused on that one biometric. You can always just add another for security, though it is good to keep in mind, that bionetrics aren’t necessarily as secure as they are often marketed as. Fun fact: In the science fiction book “Qualityland” by Marc-Uwe Kling one biometric after another was shown to be insecure, leading to the people having do kiss their tablets/phones for authorizing money transfers, using OneKiss™, which is so more secure than other ways of authentication (trust me bro).

I remember hearing about palm veins a decade ago, what makes this boom different?
Hello dear Passwords.
My voice is my passport, verify me.
Welp, I know what I’m replaying this weekend.
(On second thought I don’t know if you’re quoting the game Uplink, or Sneakers. Both are good)
I don’t expect other people to understand this but I do expect you to understand this. We started this journey together.
The young lady with the uzi…Is she single?
No thanks.
But how does this compete against the Verification Can™?
Great until you lose your arm in an arms race or something. Locked out of your own home, armless. Lost the race, arm and home.
Palm biometrics is less worse because you have the option not to give in to biometrics, unlike facial biometrics that there is no option not to give in
