Researchers at a South Korean University, UNIST has solved the problem of user authentication fingerprint when the attacker can unlock the phone, attaching to the scanner the finger of the corpse or made artificially a hoax.
Special transparent and flexible sensor under the smartphone’s screen checks not only the fingerprint, but the temperature of the finger to ensure that the user is alive and really exists. It also measures the effect of depression.
As explained by the developers, most of the capacitive fingerprint scanners are now opaque, they have to hide under the frame of the display, home button or position on the rear panel. Apple has solved this problem in a radical way — rid in their flagship scanner and browsing to the face recognition FaceID. While smartphones with screen scanner only began to appear on the market and while there are units. The new transparent resolution of the sensor also meets the security standards of the FBI.
