Is it safe to brush your face? Samsung said to be safe to pay for four years

[Netease smart news April 26 news] Samsung's facial recognition unlock allows users to look directly at the phone can activate their own Galaxy S8. However, according to sources quoted by the Korean Herald, the electronics giant, it may take more than four years before Samsung can safely use Samsung payment. Today, the fingerprint reader (in the case of Samsung, the iris scanner) is just like the payment service used by tens of millions of people such as Apple Pay, Android Payment, and Samsung Payment to make mobile payment services more secure. On the other hand, it has been reported that facial unlocking has also been fooled by photos. Making face recognition technology a way to authenticate mobile payments may be more convenient than iris scanning and fingerprinting. According to the Korean Herald’s report, “taking into account the current level of camera and deep learning technology, it takes more than four years to fully use facial recognition for financial transactions”. Samsung did not immediately respond to the press request for comment. Samsung had previously indicated to CNET that its facial recognition was not secure enough to currently access Samsung payment or secure folders, and that a disclaimer was attached when setting up face unlock on the Galaxy S8. However, this may not prevent other companies from considering this issue. There are rumors that LG will face recognition for the upcoming LG payment service, and Apple's iPhone 8 will use the user's face to unlock the phone. It is unclear how LG or Apple's technology differs from Samsung's. When in doubt, the user can instead use the tried and true fingerprints.
