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.

100 km in the last layer of Arctic ice. Long pit scary for the world

TORONTO: A large crater collapsed in May last year on the largest and oldest ice sheet in northern Canada. Scientists consider it a dangerous sign for the world. He believes it has caused cracks in the crust, which has the world's largest amount of ice. Now the world’s water level is in danger of rising when it collapses and melts. The Polynia appeared in May 2020 in a centuries-old layer of ice north of Ellesmere Island, Canada. This means that a large incision or open water signal was found in it. A study on this was recently published in Geophysical Research Letters. The researchers said that The Polynesia also appeared in 1988 and 2004. Kent Moore, an Arctic researcher at the University of Toronto Mississauga, said the ice sheet north of Ellsmer Island was so large that it could not be affected by such a large crater, making it impossible to break.

Know, how likely is Vikram Lander and Pragyan Rover to be operational again?

Image
New Delhi, September 26, 2023, Tuesday Last month, ISRO achieved a major achievement by landing the Chandrayaan-3 rover on the surface of the moon. Vikram Lander successfully made history by making a soft landing on the southern part of the moon. The Pragyan rover, which came out of the Vikram lander, conducted research for 14 days with the help of solar and sent data. 14 days on earth equals one day on the moon, that is, if we calculate on the basis of the earth, there are 14 days of light and 14 days of darkness on the moon. In the absence of sunlight, the temperature drops as low as minus 200 to 250 Celsius. The batteries of the lander and the rover are not capable of withstanding the shock of such low temperatures. The rover is currently in hibernation. Although scientists cannot say for sure whether the batteries will work in the presence of sunlight on the lunar surface, they have not given up hope. It has been sending signals continuously since September 22. Batteries can be...
