On the one hand, this can seem a bit excitingly futuristic, but on the other hand, how many of us have had work laptops with a thumb scanner that we used precisely once? Given that this is quite a mixed bag, in which scenarios would this be a good or bad development?<\/p>\n<h3><b>\u00a0First \u2013 The Good<\/b><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Getting people to use any protection<\/strong><br \/>\nThere are a lot of folks out there who don\u2019t even use a passcode for protection. If those folks, who can\u2019t be bothered to remember and enter a 4-digit number, can just mash their thumb into their phone, it might incrementally increase the security of people\u2019s phones.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Additional authentication factor<br \/>\n<\/strong>It doesn\u2019t seem that initial implementation of the fingerprint scanner will include the possibility of using both a passcode and a fingerprint. However, a passcode will likely be a used as a backup authentication method for the scanner, so in the future Apple will perhaps allow users to require both. True two factor authentication on your phone? Now<em> that <\/em>could be cool!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>And Now \u2013 The Bad<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Fingerprint scanners can be fooled<br \/>\n<\/strong>If you watch Mythbusters, you may recall that <a href=\"http:\/\/dsc.discovery.com\/tv-shows\/mythbusters\/mythbusters-database\/fingerprint-scanners-unbeatable.htm\" target=\"_blank\">episode of Mythbusters from 2006<\/a> where they fooled fingerprint scanners with three different copies of people\u2019s fingerprints, one of them just a piece of copy paper. Granted, that was 7 years ago and Apple\u2019s technology sounds slightly more sophisticated, so it\u2019s probably not going to be fooled with copy paper.\u00a0And nobody\u2019s going to \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.itworld.com\/article\/2704254\/mobile\/beware-of-thieves-ready-to-chop-off-the-fingers-of-iphone-5s-owners.html\" target=\"_blank\">chop off your finger<\/a>,\u201d as some reports have ludicrously suggested, to make that happen.\u00a0But it may still be that these scanners can be easily beaten; only time can tell.<\/li>\n<li><strong>They can also be finicky<br \/>\n<\/strong>A friend of mine who worked for a certain popular microchip manufacturer that had one of those laptops with a fingerprint scanner, which was standard company issue at the time, was banned from enabling the function because it was causing too many support calls when it inevitably malfunctioned. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fastcolabs.com\/3017334\/the-biomorphic-reason-why-dismembered-fingers-cant-unlock-your-iphone-5s\" target=\"_blank\">Fingertips that are wet or heavily scarred won\u2019t work well<\/a>, for instance. That pretty much excludes anyone in the rainy Pacific Northwest! It\u2019s likely this will be one of the biggest complaints when people start using the new fingerprint scanner, if people do enable it. Which is a pretty big <em>If<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Your fingerprints will be stored<br \/>\n<\/strong>Those of us that are feeling a bit creeped out by the NSA are probably not going to want to use the new fingerprint scanner. Regardless of whether they store the image locally or in the cloud, a copy of your fingerprint<em> will <\/em>be saved somewhere. That likely means it can be subpoenaed in some capacity. And <a href=\"http:\/\/appleinsider.com\/articles\/14\/09\/17\/apple-opens-touch-id-to-third-party-applications-with-ios-8\" target=\"_blank\">will apps have access to this data<\/a>? That\u2019s a whole lot of potential security breaches waiting to happen. Fingerprints are not like passwords \u2013 once they\u2019re leaked, they can never be changed.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The Fifth Amendment does not include fingerprints<br \/>\n<\/strong>As some <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wired.com\/opinion\/2013\/09\/the-unexpected-result-of-fingerprint-authentication-that-you-cant-take-the-fifth\/\" target=\"_blank\">legally minded folks have pointed out<\/a>, the Fifth Amendment won\u2019t protect people from being forced to \u201chand over\u201d their fingerprints. This amendment only deals with having to testify against oneself, which doesn\u2019t include biometric data. That is to say you can be forced to give law enforcement agents a key, which is a physical object, but you can\u2019t be forced to reveal the contents of your mind. When the contents of your mind includes a password, you<em> may <\/em>be protected (mostly depending on which judge you get), but that area of law is still pretty hotly debated.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>All in all, this isn\u2019t exactly a game-changer in terms of either security or privacy. In my opinion, it\u2019s unlikely that the feature is going to be all that widely used, after a little initial curiosity. The upsides are too few, and the downsides (particularly the inconvenience factors) are potentially many.<\/p>\n<p>What are your thoughts on the new fingerprint scanner for iPhone?
