+title: Fingerprint Biometrics hacked again

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