Apple’s clever strategy for forcing partners to use Face ID

Credit to Author: Evan Schuman| Date: Mon, 18 Sep 2017 03:00:00 -0700

When Apple announced the iPhone X last week, the most sophisticated (and widely predicted) feature revealed was the facial recognition approach, called Face ID. But by choosing to go all or nothing with the iPhone X — it’s only Face ID, with no support for Touch ID — the big risk for Apple was that all the companies that support Touch ID in their apps wouldn’t quickly make the move to Face ID. So Apple made the decision for them.

As the recent healthcare debate in the U.S. demonstrated, it’s extremely hard to take back something people have grown to like. Apple’s choice of biometric authentication faced the same problem. If Amazon, Chase, Fidelity or any of the other major companies whose apps use Touch ID as a way to log in without a password failed to move to Face ID, their customers would have been forced to go back to typing in long passwords. Apple, ever mindful of customer experience, chose to not permit that to happen. To make sure companies use Face ID in their apps, Apple simply didn’t give them any practical choice.

Google nennt seine jüngste Android-Version 8.0 nach einem bekannten Schokokeks „Oreo“ und gerade weil der Name Süßes verspricht, ist es verlockend zu prüfen, ob „Oreo“ nicht vielleicht doch Zahnschmerzen bei der Security verursacht. Insgesamt hat sich Google dem Thema Security intensiver gewidmet und in seine neue Android-Version Features integriert, die es sich in Bezug auf [&#8230;]<img alt=”” border=”0″ src=”https://pixel.wp.com/b.gif?host=news.sophos.com&#038;blog=834173&#038;post=42445&#038;subd=sophos&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1″ width=”1″ height=”1″ /><img src=”http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/sophos/dgdY/~4/6za_miDRMoQ” height=”1″ width=”1″ alt=””/>

Apple Mobiltelefon, Tablet oder Watch? Sicherheit und Privacy des künftigen iOS 11

Credit to Author: Jörg Schindler| Date: Tue, 22 Aug 2017 08:35:42 +0000

Das aktuelle Apple Betriebssystem für Mobiltelefone, Tablets und smarte Uhren iOS 10 ist nun fast ein Jahr alt und wenn man die zeitliche Abfolge der bisherigen großen Updates zugrunde legt, wird das iOS 11 Update vermutlich bald zur Verfügung stehen. Grund genug, nicht nur Gadgets und überarbeitete Usability anzusehen, sondern insbesondere die Security und Privacy [&#8230;]<img alt=”” border=”0″ src=”https://pixel.wp.com/b.gif?host=news.sophos.com&#038;blog=834173&#038;post=42276&#038;subd=sophos&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1″ width=”1″ height=”1″ /><img src=”http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/sophos/dgdY/~4/5Hz4x7cS_S8″ height=”1″ width=”1″ alt=””/>

iPhone X & Face ID: Everything you need to know

Credit to Author: Jonny Evans| Date: Wed, 13 Sep 2017 07:36:00 -0700

The iPhone X replaces the Home button and Touch ID with gesture controls and Face ID, sophisticated facial recognition software that learns to recognize your face and lets you use your device only after it has confirmed it is you. It is a new technology — here’s what we know about it so far:

The hype machine

This is how Apple’s chief marketer, Phil Schiller put it: “With the iPhone X, your iPhone is locked until you look at it and it recognizes you. Nothing has ever been more simple, natural, and effortless. This is the future of how we’ll unlock our smartphones and protect our sensitive information.”
