With the development of science and technology, the way people shop has begun to undergo earth-shaking changes. Originally, they need to enter the store to operate. Now they can place orders online while sitting at home, and the payment method has changed from cash payment and bank card payment to password payment, fingerprint payment and face recognition. Now Amazon has introduced palmprint recognition, which seems to be really a pickpocket when buying things in the future. Is this palmprint recognition safer than face recognition? I. Amazon launches palmprint recognition technology
According to reports from relevant media, on September 29th, local time, Amazon launched Amazon One palmprint recognition technology, which is a brand-new payment method. By recognizing palmprint and vein pattern, a unique palm signature can be created by using special reading equipment. At present, it has been tried in two Amazon unmanned stores in Seattle, and the cashier can complete the payment of related bills by putting his palm on the instrument to complete scanning. The tester feels that it greatly saves time and improves security. Second, palmprint recognition that is safer than face recognition
1. Hand brushing is safer than face brushing
Hand brushing pays more attention to privacy protection than face brushing, because palmprint is more private than other biometric identification, because it is difficult for you to determine a person's identity through palmprint, and users must be close to the device and make meaningful gestures to enable it. When you brush your face, it's easy to determine your personal identity information through your personal appearance, which leaves room for some lawless elements to manipulate. When you pay by hand, the system will use infrared rays to take two photos of your hands to capture the information inside your palm, such as blood vessels, so that the chance of passing the fraud is stifled and the safety factor is relatively strict. The reason why palmprint recognition is chosen instead of facial recognition is that it has more obvious privacy advantages.
2. Avoid face problems that can't be recognized due to other reasons
In today's society, many people will face deformation due to plastic surgery or other reasons. In fact, we can take a closer look at the differences between our looks in the first 2 years and those in the last 2 years, but our palm prints have not changed in 2 years. It can even be said that when we are adults, our palm prints have been completely stereotyped for decades.
