In recent days, Tencent is internally testing the swipe payment function, tencent responded that this is only a technical pre-research, not about to be applied to WeChat, but this still caused the author's concern: the transition to biometric information We are facing unpredictable risks.
Crack down on telecommunications fraud
In the past two years, telecommunications fraud is becoming a street rat, but repeatedly beaten, the reason behind it, in fact, leaked is the privacy of personal phone numbers, etc., but this we seem to have seen strangely, the reason behind this, is the previous leakage of personal privacy crackdown is not enough to cause, banking, insurance and other industries, especially in the hardest hit areas, but only the leaker himself was sentenced, and the punishment of the institution tickled.
But in fact, the leakage of biological information is a much greater threat to the security of personal property. For example, our face theft brush, can be paid directly, which even skips the lengthy phone fraud process, if from this point of view, will you still authorize the face information?
Robin Li told the truth about China's hardware and software
A few years ago, Robin Li said in public that Chinese users don't care too much about privacy and are now exchanging privacy for convenience. Many people were spraying him at the time, but this was actually a lofty understanding of today's software and hardware companies in various fields in China: by obtaining privacy, including biometric information, Chinese users gained convenience, including face-brushing payments.
But now the situation is that enterprises are constantly challenging the user's limit, although the relevant departments are cracking down on the app and other indiscriminate requests for user mobile phone information, but always can not catch up with the change.
Science fiction movies are still prophecies
As early as 1998, Will Smith starred in a movie "National Enemy", in this movie, the protagonist is monitored and tracked by the omnipresent network, but this movie still lacks a loss of imagination, only imagined as a confrontation between individuals and the state, but the reality is that in addition to the public security bureau needs to enter fingerprints, extract facial information, in fact, regardless of software and hardware APP, are asking for biological information, users have become authorized to use a number of enterprises, it seems that we lack relevant laws and regulations to restrict this behavior.
Whether the fingerprint is the upper or lower limit
The unique identification of individuals with biological information is not a complex technology, and fingerprints have been applied in many fields long before mobile phones. Now that we've sold fingerprints and faces, device manufacturers also want to get further information, including irises, veins and blood vessels, to provide further "convenience", which can be applied to hardware and software as a business owner when releasing new products. Even the new algorithm can recognize a person's gait as long as you walk through a WiFi network.
With fingerprints as the boundary, for the transfer of biological information, the user is to consider whether to exchange convenience through the transfer, and this step, usually there is no risk prompt, which is the current situation of domestic APP.
It is not only about legislating severe punishments, but also about the awakening of individuals
In contrast, foreign countries have greater penalties for personal privacy leaks, but there is no way to prevent them, such as Disney has been fined $3 million for leaking underage user information, but in fact, the situation of Western leaks is also repeated. As a user of the weak side, what we need is to be strong, and we need to awaken our awareness of the risk of biological information leakage.
Users need to learn to be accustomed to saying "no" to biometric claims
That is, whether the App is installed when requesting mobile phone permissions, or must enter some biological information, such as fingerprints, faces, etc. to achieve some convenient functions, at this time as a user, we need more to think about the risks after the leakage rather than coveting the convenience of the moment, now the mobile phone has a fingerprint sensor + NFC, which is convenient enough for us, compared to the fingerprint to spend more seconds, you should realize that your bioinformatics security is more important.
