Is there any possibility of privacy leakage when using Amazon’s handshake payment?

With the popularity of facial payment and fingerprint payment, handshake payment has also followed. As a new payment technology, many people are curious about whether it will leak privacy. This is human nature. But judging from the information released by Amazon so far, the possibility of privacy leakage is very small, but it is not impossible. The issue of whether privacy will be leaked during payment was also questioned when face payment and fingerprint payment were first developed. However, as time goes by, there is very little negative news about these two payment methods, and even It can be said that there is no. As for Amazon's handshake payment, the detection process is more complicated than facial recognition and fingerprint scanning, and the security level is naturally much higher. The possibility of privacy leakage is completely negligible.

First of all, let’s take a look at the detection mode of handshake payment. It is similar to the previous facial recognition and fingerprint scanning methods. They are both technologies developed based on biometric recognition, and handshake payment can be called fingerprint payment. upgraded version. The previous fingerprint payment completed the payment by detecting the lines and capillaries on the finger, while the hand-swipe payment has one more step than the fingerprint, which is an exclusive gesture. Before people use shaking hands to pay, the system will ask you to set up a gesture to use when paying. This gesture is only known to you. The security level can be imagined, so the possibility of leaking privacy is very small.

And from a technical perspective, if criminals want to steal your information through shaking hands to pay, they must perfectly copy the size, texture, and concavity of your palm, except for surface details. It is also necessary to carefully understand the direction of the capillaries in the palm. I believe everyone can imagine how difficult this is. Not to mention that handshake payment has also added an exclusive gesture link on the basis of the past. With so many details connected together, no matter which link goes wrong, it is impossible to successfully steal privacy.

To sum up, the possibility of privacy leakage in the handshake payment launched by Amazon is very small, and even completely negligible from a macro level. A technology from development to put into use It requires countless tests. If this technology is really put on the market, it must have its uniqueness.
