Now fingerprints are also insecure? The researchers warned


Recreate a person's fingerprints from the sound while swiping a touchscreen: Researchers have discovered how to recreate a person's fingerprints from the sound made while swiping a touchscreen? A research was done by a team of US and China. The research said the new hack could have implications for biometric security systems, which are used in everything from smartphones to door access locks.

The smartphone's microphone is used

Hackers can use the microphone found in smartphones to steal fingerprints by recording the sound of the fingerprint, the researchers said. In this regard, the researchers said in the research paper that the leakage of fingerprints can lead to theft of sensitive information, financial loss and also affect national security.

A person's fingerprint can be created with the help of technology

PrintListener works by reconstructing the pattern of finger papillary lines through acoustic signals. A person's fingerprint can be easily generated using PrintListener. The method was detailed in a research paper titled 'Print Listener: Uncovering the Oneness of Fingerprint Authentication via the Finger Friction Sound' by a team from the US University of Colorado and Tsinghua University, Wuhan University and Huazhong University of Science and Technology.

This way fingerprint cloning can be avoided

Special screen protectors should be used on mobile devices to protect against fingerprint cloning. The best counter-measure to prevent fingerprints from being stolen is to change the way we use smartphones and screens. For example, users try not to swipe their fingers on the phone screen while making audio and video calls on social media platforms.
