Are biometrics secure enough so we can ditch our passwords?

Radio 4 in Four

Available for over a year

Companies are investing heavily in biometric security so we can use our irises, voices and fingerprints for logging in. But last week Samsung鈥檚 iris recognition tool was hacked with nothing more than a photograph of an eye with a contact lense. Earlier this month 麻豆社 Report Dan Symmonds and his twin brother managed to fool HSBC鈥檚 voice recognition system. Ken Munroe is an expert hacker and talks to Winifred Robinson about the security of biometrics. First broadcast on You and Yours, 31 May 2017.
