HANOI (Reuters)-
A Vietnamese researcher showed how he fooled Apple\'s face recognition ID Software on the new iPhone X with masks made from 3D printers, silicone and paper tapes.
On Friday, the Vietnamese cyber security company Bkav announced that it cracked Apple\'s facial ID, and the subsequent video showed that the iPhone was unlocked when pointing to the mask and received some suspicion.
Ngo Tuan Anh, vice president of Bkav, gave Reuters several demos, first unlocking the phone with his face and then unlocking it with a mask.
It seems to work every time.
However, he refused to register the user ID and mask on the phone from scratch, because he said that the iPhone and mask need to be placed at a very specific angle, and he said that the process may take 9 hours.
Apple declined to comment, saying it saw a page on its website explaining how Face ID works.
The page says that the probability of a random person unlocking another user\'s phone with a face is about 1-in-a-
Million, than 1-in-
The fingerprint scanner used before was 50,000.
It also says that Face ID only allows five unsuccessful match attempts before a password is needed.
Anh acknowledged that it was not easy to prepare the mask, but said he thought the presentation indicated that facial recognition was a way to authenticate users and was risky for some.
\"It\'s not easy for ordinary people to do what we\'re doing here, but it\'s a concern for people in the security department and important people like politicians or company heads,\" he said . \". “(These)
It is important that if anyone activates the facial ID feature, they should never lend them the iPhone X.
\"This is the first case that the researchers reported were apparently able to fool the facial recognition software.
Network security experts said that the problem is not whether the Face ID will be hacked, but how much effort the hacker needs to pay.
\"Nothing is 100% secure,\" wrote Terry Ray, chief technology officer of the United States. S. -
Network security company based in Imperva.
\"If there is a will, there is a way.
The question is: how much trouble will someone have in order to get your data and how much will they spend?
Anh of Bkav said the study took about a week, including many failures.
The mask frame is made of plastic and covered with paper tape, similar to the skin, with silicone nose and paper for eyes and mouth.
Back in 2009, Bkav researchers highlighted what they called the use of face recognition to authenticate users.
They said at the time that they had hacked into three laptop manufacturers that used webcams to authenticate users.
