Negative Security Effect of Biometrics Deployed in Cyberspace

The agenda discussed in this article are

- A default/fallback password is the password, isn’t it?

- Convenience is doubled-edged

- Spoofing and Liveness-Detection

- Is the password weaker than biometrics?

- Is biometrics-only authentication achievable?

-What can we gain from bringing in biometrics into multi-factor authentication?

- Intermezzo: Entertaining Security Parodies

- Haven’t the biometrics promoters built a huge sandcastle?

- This false sense of security has been benefiting criminals, hasn’t it?

- This false sense of security has only been benefiting criminals, hasn’t it?

- Hey, Biometrics Guys! Get Provoked!

Conclusion: The password is insufficient, but not harmful. Biometrics is harmful, and not sufficient. Attempting to make quick money by spreading a false sense of security is ethically dubious and practically suicidal.
