I can only see this going into a very dystopian path. Based on their actions, I donโt trust these companies, their security practices, nor their privacy policies. Why would I give them my biometrics? And my full palm, at that!? Hell no!
They donโt need to 3D print anything, only to โside loadโ the hash (itโs more complex than that, but thatโs the gist). If your ID is tied to your finances, and it gets leaked, you canโt change your ID. Your finger/palmprint is always your finger/palmprint.
Right. But canโt they do that anyway? Your ID is linked to your finances. You get people stealing IDs all day everyday.
Family Guy did an episode on it.
If Iโve got your records you Iโd birth certificate your job numbers your state details. Address phone emails passport passwords. Iโm you. Except I have my biometrics.
Biometrics cannot be forcibly taken. I canโt rock up to the bank manager with a severed finger. Yet I can take out a loan in your name without the fingerprint.
For fuck sake our security relies on signature. A badly written name.
