[Netease Smart News November 16 news] Intrusion into Apple's iPhone X face recognition system Face ID is not easy, but recently a 10-year-old boy successfully unlocked the phone with his mother.

Recently, Atulura Malik and Sana Schroeder discovered that their children could use their faces to unlock their mobile phones. Just after they had set up the Face ID system, their fifth-grade son, Amar Malik, stepped into their bedroom and admired their new iPhone X. Father Malik recalled that his wife half-jokingly told his son half-seriously: "You cannot unlock this mobile phone at all."

Malik agreed to let Amar look at his cell phone, but his son picked up his mother's cell phone because he didn't know which one was his father's cell phone. After he just looked at the phone, the phone unlocked.

Both parents were stunned. Amar, 10, thinks this is funny. A few days later, Malik said in an interview with Wired Magazine: â€œIt was fun at first. But then it was totally unappreciating. My wife and I were always texting and there might be some of us on the phone. What he didn't want him to see. Now my wife must delete her text because she doesn't want Amar to see this."

With Face ID, Apple introduced an unprecedented biometric security experiment. To a large extent, this adventure has begun to bear fruit. Wired magazine tried to cheat the system and ended in failure, which hinted at how Apple's face recognition system defeated the most direct deception. Even the Vietnamese hackers who recently claimed to defeat Apple's face recognition system could not deceive Face ID by using a very impractical technology. They need to perform detailed digital scans on the faces of mobile phone owners and use 3D printed plastic, silicone, cosmetics and paper to make masks.

However, in addition to hackers aggressively trying to deceive Apple's biometrics, facial recognition can also bring other unexpected privacy issues. For example, family members with similar faces can unlock each other's devices. In fact, Apple has admitted that twins, even family members who don't look like it, can sometimes fool Face ID. However, children who resemble their parents can unlock their parents' mobile phones. This may be the biggest concern for Appleâ€™s face recognition system.

"We don't want to disable the Face ID because it's convenient. But there's a lot of trouble in terms of privacy," said Malik, a technical operations director at technology company Taskstream. He pointed out that parents' mobile phones can access a variety of applications, including various applications from banking to food distribution.

He said: "If my son can unlock my wife's cell phone and she just has that application on her cell phone, he can order ice cream for himself at any time."

Malik said in an interview that after his wife registered his face for the first time on his mobile phone, his son could easily unlock his wife's iPhone X, just like the video he shared with Wired magazine. In that case, he also posted a similar opinion on LinkedIn. When Amar tried to unlock his father's cell phone, he could unlock it successfully, but only succeeded once and couldn't unlock it later. Malik thinks this is very difficult to understand, because he said that his son's face is obviously smaller than his wife's face, and the looks of the two are somewhat different. "People usually say he looks more like me," Malik said.

In the "Linkage" magazine's proposal, Malik asked his wife to re-register her face and see what would happen. After the wife reprogrammed her face to the phone, Amar could no longer unlock her mobile phone. For further testing, a few hours later, the wife tried to register her face again to replicate her first set of iPhone X's night room lighting conditions. Still old problem, this time, Amal tried to unlock the phone for the third time. He can also unlock on the sixth attempt. Malik said that at this point, the artificial intelligence of the mobile phone seems to be learning the characteristics of the son, so he can unlock the mobile phone again and again.

All this shows that, under the right conditions, if the parents are not aware of this possibility, the lucky child may accidentally know the secrets of the parents. Malik said: "Not everyone has done this kind of test, or they may not realize that other people in their family can log on to the phone."

It is not yet clear whether the family problems with facial recognition systems are widespread or whether other children can unlock their parents' iPhone X. Apple did not respond to requests for comment from Wired magazine. Instead, it responded with its Face Recognition Security white paper and support page. The page says, â€œFor the twins and siblings who look like you, the probability statistics are different. This also includes children under the age of 13, because their unique facial features may not be fully developed. If you are concerned about this, we It is recommended to use a password for authentication."

Malik's son is not the only family member who could accidentally unlock the iPhone X. Those brothers and sisters who don't look very similar, including the brothers, and another brother of a different age from Britain, can all unlock their cell phones.

However, under these circumstances, siblings may intentionally or unintentionally train their iPhone X during a mixed scan of both faces. Each time face recognition fails, an unlock code will be required. The face recognition system will mark the face scan as an error flag and correct itself to make it more accurate over time. If Face ID scans the wrong face and refuses to unlock, these brothers and sisters then enter the password to unlock and the system will learn to recognize his features.

But Malik insists that their home is not the case. He said that the phone was unlocked when Amar saw it for the first time. In the latter case, when his face did not unlock the phone, no one entered the phone code after any failed unlock attempt.

Malik pointed out that for those who do not want to disable facial recognition and use mobile phone passwords, the solution is to â€œface recognitionâ€ their children after setting up their own face recognition system. He said: "You should try with each of your family members to see who can unlock the phone."

In rare cases it does unlock the phone and try to re-register your face under different lighting conditions before testing. If this doesn't work, then as long as your mobile phone is in the reach of children, you must pay close attention to your mobile phone and the history of your ice cream delivery application.
