Hopefully, my observation of biometrics and AI might make some contribution to the discussion.

I recently posted this message — “Artificial Intelligence as Nemesis of Biometrics” (10Mar2023) https://www.linkedin.com/posts/hitoshikokumai_they-thought-loved-ones-were-calling-for-activity-7039866453793128448-aygk

and “Another Biometrics Fuss” (29May2023) https://www.linkedin.com/posts/hitoshikokumai_ftc-policy-statement-on-biometrc-information-activity-7068861992039559168-PvNj

Here, I stated “the former (False Acceptance) invites attackers to take advantage of it by any possible means”. Artificial intelligence obviously enables bad guys to push up the False Acceptance Rates, which they can capitalise on.

3 years earlier, I had published this one — “Biometrics — Spoofing and Liveness Detection” https://www.linkedin.com/posts/hitoshikokumai_identity-authentication-password-activity-6685387735810871296-mlwV

Here, I stated “Liveness Detection is a factor to raise FR/FNM rates; the presence of FR/FNM forcing the users to rely on a fallback measure, a default password/pincode in most cases, which brings down the overall security to the level lower than the authentication by a default password/pincode alone.”

The mechanism of how biometrics used with a default password/pincode destroys the identity security that the password/pincode has somehow provided is visually explained in this 2minute video — “Biometrics in Cyber Space” https://youtu.be/wuhB5vxKYlg

Thanks to Ade Slade for bringing me to this intriguing post — https://www.linkedin.com/posts/andrew-hughes-682058a_identityproofing-deepfakes-kantarainitiative-activity-7095487190142496768-1-FV
