I think there are still some risks, but if Amazon can launch this payment method, I believe Amazon must be mature enough in terms of technology. Since it has mature enough technology, the risk of leaking personal privacy is also very small. Low.
I still remember that seven or eight years ago, when fingerprint unlocking for mobile phones was not yet available, some people were looking forward to this unlocking method, and I downloaded a spoof of fake fingerprint unlocking software at that time. The developer also said in the introduction that "this software is purely a spoof and there is no real fingerprint unlocking". This sentence can be said to be very funny now, but at the time we really thought that fingerprint unlocking only existed in science fiction. Even though there may have been a fingerprint lock for opening the door at that time, we still don't believe that it can be used on mobile phones.
So if you were asked this question at that time, you would definitely be very worried and would refuse to pay in this unreliable way. But if you are asked this question again now, you would definitely think carefully and decide. I am beginning to believe that paying by hand will not reveal personal privacy. This is the benefit brought by technological development.
But I believe that does not mean that I have no doubts. I believe that everyone is already familiar with facial recognition payment. Many supermarkets are now using it. This principle was not understood by people at the beginning and is now basically understood. , Everyone’s face is different, so the face-swiping technology can be applied, and because a large amount of infrared rays are used to collect facial information, the security is very high, but is the security of hand-swiping payment high? Will someone imitate other people's palm prints to pay? Obtain other people's palmprints to create models to steal other people's credit cards?
After my search, I learned that this technology not only collects the user’s palm prints, but also collects the vein patterns on the palm. The small and numerous veins make everyone’s palm prints The information is unique, so the risk of copying palm prints and stealing is naturally reduced to a minimum. Palm prints can be copied, but how to copy the lines of so many capillaries?
