Hackers Make a Fake Hand to Beat Vein Authentication - Motherboard
'That may be particularly worrying when the sort of targets protected with vein authentication are sometimes exactly the ones that a state may want to target. '
'According to a recent report from German news wire DPA, the BND, Germany’s signals intelligence agency, uses vein authentication in its new headquarter building in Berlin. '
'Vein authentication works with systems that compare a user’s placement of veins under their skin compared to a copy on record. '
' "The manufacturers improve their systems, the hackers come and break it and then it goes back on."'
'A well-funded and resourced adversary, perhaps a state that is trying to break into an area secured with vein authentication, could likely replicate this research on a larger and more efficient scale. '
Wouldn't it be easier to make a pump that hooks to a severed hand to simulate a pulse and keep it warm? Morbid but just looking at the easiest way to fake through a system. Besides even if it doesn't work with dead flesh the violent type of criminals that would cut off part of you are not known for being up on tech and thinking things through. An eye, a finger, a hand what do they care if you lose it?

That might work for a few days at best. Plus the key here is matching the target’s vein pattern. A random severed hand would likely have a different vein pattern. And getting the veins connected to a pump would be very difficult compared to the wax method

Turns out biometrics is bunk..
Fucking AI can make brand new unique faces. Surely all other biometrics are fake able. Worse than passphrases.
