Current techniques to protect biometric details, such as face recognition or fingerprints, from hacking are effective, but advances in AI are rendering these protections obsolete.

Biometrics are more secure than passwords – but when they’re compromised fingerprints and retina scans are hard to reset. Brain responses to specific stimuli are as secure and, crucially, resettable.
Same person or different person? Most people are extremely good at recognising faces of people they know well, but not so much strangers. See how well you perform on the tests in this story.
Research is increasingly proving fingerprints can be used for much more than identifying people.
In a major blow to Facebook, a judge has ruled that a class action can proceed. If similar actions are brought around the world, Facebook could face billions of dollars in damages.
The government’s plans to store our biometric data are currently going through parliament. The data could reveal more than we’d like to those who seek to access the information.
Facial recognition software isn’t ready for face-in-a-crowd applications. Specialist police officers are far superior at spotting criminals.
Could your resolution resilience use a little science to back it up? A new study suggests practice can help your self-control – but don’t push it too far.
The COAG agreement to share our biometric data - including some photo ID - is an erosion of our privacy and will give people a false sense of comfort.
If Facebook already knows how you feel from reading what you post, soon it will know from reading the expressions on your face.
Going as far back as the Bible, and as widely known as the phrase ‘Open, Sesame,’ passwords are a textual link to our past. But they may not be around much longer.
Computers are getting better at identifying people’s faces, and while that can be helpful as well as worrisome. To properly understand the legal and privacy ramifications, we need to know how facial recognition technology works.
Researchers are looking for ways to improve our ability to recognise and match faces.
In a political environment where voters are increasingly attuned to instances of polling malpractice, African states are grudgingly adopting technology as a barrier to election fraud.
It may sound like science fiction, but research shows that all you really need to develop brain biometrics is a set of earphones.
One Nation’s proposed national identity card is unviable and likely unconstitutional, so should not be entertained.
New ways of using forensic science in anthropology have been developed to advance our understanding of the past.
Tech giant Microsoft wants to rid the world of “dumb” passwords to improve online security. But maybe it’s the password itself we should dump.
Advanced electoral technology could actually work against democracy in the wrong hands.
PIN codes, passwords, swipe patterns and biometrics can help secure your smartphone, but they’re far from foolproof.
