I wonder if “Face ID” would work if you hold the corpse’s eyes open?!? ;-) I think someone tried to spoof “Touch ID” with fingerprint impressions, etc.. Don’t think either of those work if the purp turns off the phone or reboots it before the cops show up....need the password first to activate Face ID or Touch ID. Simple solution to things like Pensacola are “keep the creeps out in the 1st place!”. In any case I think we have bigger issues to worry about than the last data privacy we have thru encryption. Things like financial “debt bombs”!
Retinal signatures may not last long after death. Not sure how long skin tissue can a provide a pattern.
>> Pensacola are “keep the creeps out in the 1st place!”.
You’re absolutely correct. Policy is most often the problem.
To the first, no. To the second TouchID doesn’t use fingerprints. Unlike other phone fingerprint sensors Apple’s TouchID uses the pattern of the valleys and ridges of the subcutaneous fat pad underneath the surface. That’s why an image of a fingerprint won’t work no matter how they fake them up. It’s got to be the real living finger. Dead don’t cut it either.
