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.

Ray of hope for scientists! A rare meteorite found in Gujarat may reveal the secrets of other planets

Image
A meteorite fell in Banaskantha of Gujarat last year in the month of August. This type of astronomical phenomenon was observed after about 170 years. Before this, this kind of astronomical phenomenon was seen in 1852. Scientists stationed in the Space Department of Physical Research Laboratory, Ahmedabad have written extensively about this meteorite. The recent meteorites found in Gujarat can prove to be a very important source for understanding planetary processes. Scientists say that this meteorite is Obrite. They have confirmed that this meteorite may have formed from the rarest heterogeneous material found in our solar system. These meteorites were named Deodar meteorites. It fell on August 17, 2022 in Deodar taluk of Gujarat and is hence named as such. According to reports, the villagers saw no sign of him in the sky, only the sound of thunder.

Ordeal before sending Gaganyaan! ISRO will do a big job on October 21, know the mission objective

Image
Gaganyaan Space: The TV-D1 test flight for Gaganyaan will be launched on October 21 at 7 am from the Satish Dhawan Space Center in Sriharikota. However, after this test, three more test vehicle missions will be conducted. The test involves launching the crew module into outer space and recovering it from the Bay of Bengal after touchdown. This includes testing the Crew Escape System (CIS), which will be used to bring the crew back to Earth if the spacecraft encounters a problem. How important is the mission? This mission of ISRO is very different and special from all the missions till now. So far all the space missions carried out by India have been unmanned. But in this mission, man will be sent from earth to space through space shuttle. After spending seven days there, he will return to earth. This process is very dangerous that is why there are very few countries in the world that have successfully carried out this type of space mission. (Photo-Twitter/ ISRO) The first test w...

The Ministry of Defense has developed MAYA os with the help of various government agencies including Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO), Center for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC) and National Informatics Center (NIC). It is free and more secure. The Indian government is considering replacing the Windows operating system on computers used in the Ministry of Defense with a new indigenous operating system called Maya OS. What is Maya? MAYA os is a new operating system based on Ubuntu. Ubuntu is a popular Linux distribution that uses free and open source software. Keeping up with new operating system (OS) is also a challenge for the government but the ministry claimed that MAYA OS was introduced to thwart cyber threats and reduce dependence on OS made by global tech companies like Microsoft. MAYA OS is free, so the government will no longer need to own a genuine Windows license or pay for expensive Microsoft Word and other services. Safe from cyber threats ...

Minor errors in documents can be corrected with smart find-replace

Image
While we prepare our Microsoft Word documents as accurately as possible , when you have to edit a report or document prepared by someone else , if the person sending you the document is not a perfectionist, he may have made a number of typographical errors, especially one . Repeatedly made the same mistakes! As many people have a habit of entering a space twice after a full stop after finishing the sentence. Many people want to put a question mark or exclamation mark at the end of a sentence by entering a space after typing the last word followed by a question mark or exclamation mark. These are all minor errors. However, when this text is to be arranged in a layout it can move. For example, if there is a space left before the question mark, it can happen that the sentence ends on the first line and the question mark is at the beginning of a new line! Such errors can also be corrected using Word's ' Find-Replace ' feature. Ctrl+h for that   Open the ...

84 Earth years are equal to 1 year on this planet, captured by James Webb using infrared wavelengths.

Image
Washington, April 27, 2023, Thursday Some give great importance to the number 84 in the philosophy of life according to the scriptures. There are millions of galaxies and billions of stars in the universe. One of the planets around the solar system is Uranus, the American space agency NASA has shared a picture of Uranus. This image was taken from the James Webb Space Telescope. Uranus is the 7th planet of the solar system orbiting the Sun. When the Voyager 2 spacecraft passed through Uranus Pass in 1986, the camera imaged Uranus as a blue-green round light, but no surrounding ring of light. According to NASA, the image taken by James Webb of Uranus using infrared wavelengths shows that the planet has bright rings around it. A special feature of Uranus compared to other planets in the solar system is that it orbits at a 90 degree tilt on its axis. Hence any season on Uranus is extreme. Here in the polar region the sun is bright for years and then it is dark for as many years. This is...
