Chinese researchers crack fingerprint scanners on smartphones
Recent research has spotlighted vulnerabilities in the fingerprint authentication systems of smartphones from leading manufacturers. Leveraging Artificial Intelligence (AI), these vulnerabilities were identified and exploited, raising concerns about the security of biometric verification systems.
Fingerprint authentication, a cornerstone of modern device security, is not as infallible as once believed. Recent investigations have illuminated substantial susceptibilities within the software frameworks of devices manufactured by premier companies, including Samsung, Xiaomi, HUAWEI, Vivo, OnePlus, and OPPO. These vulnerabilities were not only identified but also manipulated, utilizing sophisticated Artificial Intelligence (AI) methodologies, thereby accentuating the imperative for the fortification of security protocols.
