7 | This Saturday, at the Chaos Communication Congress (31C3) new methods will be shown on how to utilize biometric attributes of someone else. | ||
8 | |||

10 | |||
11 | In the past years, it was successfully demonstrated a number of times | ||
12 | how easily fingerprints can be stolen from its owner if a person touched | ||
13 | any object with a polished surface (like a glas or a smartphone). \[3\] | ||
14 | This time new, sometimes suprising ways to gather biometrical attributes | ||
15 | will be introduced. \[1\] With this knowledge there will be no need to | ||
16 | steal objects carrying the fingerprints anymore. | ||
17 | |||
18 | In his talk tonight, at 8.30 PM (CET), starbug will show and explain how | ||
19 | he got fingerprints from persons during public events with just the help | ||
20 | of a standard photo camera. These fingerprints could be used for | ||
21 | biometric authentication. He will also present additional approaches of | ||
22 | defeating fingerprints. The questionable validity of security claims by | ||
23 | the vendors of fingerprint systems will be even more disputed after this | ||
24 | presentation. "After this talk, politicians will presumably wear gloves | ||
25 | when talking in public", said starbug of the Chaos Computer Club (CCC). | ||
26 | |||
27 | Like all talks at the 31C3, this one will be streamed via the internet. | ||
28 | When you like to learn how easy it is to get the fingerprint of someone | ||
29 | else, for example the German Minister of Defense, without even being | ||
30 | physically close to her, you can follow the talk at | ||
31 | <http://streaming.media.ccc.de/saal1/>. A recording of the talk will be | ||
32 | made available online afterwards. | ||
