The new rise of biometric banking

The new rise of biometric banking

The document we are dealing with is an article entitled «  The new rise of biometric banking». It was written by Padraig Belton Business reporter. It was realiased on March, 20th 2015 on the BBC new online website.

The main topic is Banking technology with its advantages, its limits and the new technology of biometric.

The first part focuses on the Touch ID fingerprint. 
Apple was one of the first to enter the biometric age with the iphone 5S and its Touch-ID fingerprint. Samsung quickly did the same thing in its own way with the Galaxy S5. The two main banks in the United Kingdom, the Royal Bank of Scotland and the Nat West, offer their customers to manage their banking operations with the Touch ID.
Unfortunately, the Apple Touch ID was hacked by a German one day after its launch. The hacker simply used a scanner, printer and glue to make a fingerprint replica.

In the second part,
Starbug believes that the best protection is on knowledge-password, possession-smart card and biometrics (measurement of the living). Barclays talks about finger vein authentication for British business. The Vein ID was created in Japan and used in cash machines in Japan and Poland. The creator Hitachi says that our vein pattern is identical all our life. Vein ID scanners can identify us more securely.

To conclude, fingerprints may not be the safest banking technology.
Biometric air can still evolve. Technologies are evolving perhaps that soon we will identify with increasingly safe means to make our payments.
