Fingerprint recognition has been available on smartphones for several years but has its downsides. For instance, sensors can be copied and in some circumstances, fingerprint recognition doesn\u2019t function properly, such as when the sensor gets wet or if there is debris on the user's finger.<\/p>\n<p>There is also the uncommon possibility that a thief could force someone to place a finger on the sensor and gain access to bank accounts, credit cards, and other valuable data.<\/p>\n<p>Facial recognition reports similar difficulties but is not yet widely available. Currently, only Apple\u2019s implementation on the iPhone X has an accuracy threshold to consistently distinguish between human features but has lately reported <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techspot.com\/news\/74498-apple-memo-indicates-iphone-x-having-issues-face.html\">issues<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>SSL\/TLS On Blockchain To Overthrow Passwords?<\/h2>\n<p>At the heart of the web experience is the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) that secures our browsing activity when the padlock icon and HTTPS appear at the beginning of a web address in the browser. SSL ensures the data moving between a user and a server is encrypted so that the information transmitted is unintelligible and impossible for a hacker to read even if it is intercepted.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_48025\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-48025\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-48025\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/ssl-hero-300x199.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-48025\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The &#8220;https&#8221; and padlock icon signifies that a website is protected with SSL.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Transport Layer Security or TLS is an updated version of SSL<a href=\"https:\/\/www.incapsula.com\/cdn-guide\/cdn-and-ssl-tls.html\">\u00a0used alongside a CDN<\/a>\u00a0to bolster security. If these certificates are stored on a blockchain, they could be used to maintain device-level security and remove the need for passwords.
