With the launch of the iPhone 5s Friday, September 20 at 8 o'clock on the dot in every Apple store, the controversy of the use of biometrics in the trade has not finished being fed. Back technological assault rifles cocktail assault rifles time and first impressions assault rifles after the sip opening. Touch the ID function: new ingredient that creates controversy
Among all products by Apple, the iPhone 5S is that which has the function which everyone speaks both praise in criticism. Needless to mention about the new Sliced Commissioner of the German CNIL, Johannes Caspar whose article in the Journal of Net summarizes assault rifles the position and who have been around the web.
So specifically, what exactly do we? Such as Apple brags on its website that "futuristic" technology consists of a built-in button on the main iPhone high-resolution sensor. To make it simple (and inviting the curious to rely on Apple leaflet, scanning and analyzing your mark at an angle of 360 degrees, said sensor will produce a high definition picture of your fingerprint. This image is translated into a mathematical representation that is stored in the iPhone and serves as a basis of comparison for each subsequent scan to identify you.
The advantage is not having to remember a any password that any hacker can break easily. Besides saving time, the advantage assault rifles especially highlighted by the giant apple is the uniqueness of each fingerprint and therefore its safe side. Certainly, nobody has the same borrow you, but it is far from impossible to procure. The paris are already launched on cracking the Touch ID function, and doubt has already been installed by a group of European hackers.
But more than that, Apple goes further than simply assault rifles unlocking the iPhone since the descriptive features page, you can read that "Your footprint also allows you to confirm your purchase on the iTunes Store, assault rifles App Store and the iBooks Store, which saves you from having to enter each password. "At that stage, it should really add an essential assault rifles ingredient for a successful cocktail. What about the law, the essential ingredient?
In the first place, which alerted the community assault rifles in relation assault rifles to the right to privacy and protection assault rifles of personal data, is the fact that biometric data are likely assault rifles to be stored on Apple's servers and at risk to be pirated or used by government agencies. There would be every reason to brandish Articles 7 and 8 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, Article 5 of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms assault rifles (Quebec), and other 4th Amendment (Constitution USA) guaranteeing the right to privacy and / or protection of personal data by any person as fundamental rights.
Apple had anticipated criticism by stating in its press release of September 10, 2013, revealing the new iPhone 5s that biometric data is "encrypted [s] and stored [s] safe in the Secure Enclave processor capable chip A7 iPhone 5s. " In other words, these personal data are protected by the fact that to get there, we must have on hand the equipment in which they are stored.
We are clarified on this point, but what most caught our attention is the use of the fingerprint to confirm purchases on the above Apple stores. The use of biometric data for ecommerce, really? In this case, it is simply to keep fingerprint "in the same chip in the iPhone" in the words of Apple, these purchases require a connection to the Internet and sending data biometrics to confirm the identity of the buyer with the store concerned.
In addition, inserting the use of the fingerprint in purchases from its stores, Apple has not only projected the use of biometric data in its electronic transactions, but in e-commerce in general. This is indeed a step forward that Apple made in its industry but also the door leading smartphone open. As indicated in the article of Business Insider, iPhone 5s could be the precursor of future industry smartphones. The standardization of the use of biometrics in the smartphones industry would have enormous impact, both from the point of view of the protection of personal data in the electronic commerce. We would then have a trivialization of the use of biometric data for commercial operations, which would not necessarily
