Why doesn't Apple add Touch-ID to their laptops? Make Macbooks the most secure laptops in the world.
>>53702466
Fingerprints are not hashable and therefore shit for digital security
>>53702466
Because, unlike iphones with locked bootloader, you can just wipe the harddisk and install whatever os you want on a macbook.
Just put an efi password so people can't use the mac when stolen and sell it just for part.
>>53702487
This, touchid is practical and fast (good for a phone) but not really the safest option
Just imagine the thing randomly stops accepting your fingerprint (which it used to encrypt your hard drive) and there is nothing you can do.

Of course they are. How do you think Touch ID works? A pixel by pixel image comparison?
Would it be possible to copy a fingerprint left on the device by its owner and use that to unlock the phone?
Fingerprints are fucking shit, they aren't even remotely as secure as people think and require dedicated hardware that will almost certainly be proprietary.

I have been gaining respect for them with their resistance against the FBI and the fact that they cant access almost anything from their customers' devices, although outside sources may be able to.
>>53702708
Yes. Any govt org can harvest fingerprints, so this is literally shit

>applel can't access data on the devices they made themselves
>fbi are lazy fucks and want backdoor
>russians don't give a fuck and just harvest the data anyway since osx and applel's programmers are a joke
>>537024666 the only people with that tech are governments

>uses tape ontop of keyboard key
>makes replicate of fingerprint
>can access the laptop
this isn't a smart idea for a laptop.
on phones, people usually swipe around a lot so the fingerprints on those screens aren't as easy to replicate.
>>53702466
Lol, Touch ID isn't save at all
>>53702756
So why didn't the FBI just get the terrorists fingerprint from some database then do a copy (which can be done) to unlock it?
Then again it was a 5c which has no fingerprint reader.. But the other phones definitely are vulnerable.
>>53703035
Usually you need to enter the passcode once the device has been shut down or more than 48h have passed since the last time it was unlocked iirc.
>>53702606
You have a backup passphrase...
>>53702689
>mfw it actually kind of works like that
>>53702487
You should way the keynote explaining the technology. The print is scanned and then converted to a hash, the has is the comparees everytimw its activated. If the new print/hash doesn't match the stores one, it's not accepted.
Theoretically, if you cut off the persons skin and overlay it on you're it can. Heat has to be transferred and a heartbeat present. It's not something you can dust for and then use playdoh. Countless lava tried to break into it, ine seceede but it needed hundreds of thousands of dollars in lab equipment, and it's a government owned think tank. And they used the iPhone 5s sensor.

They're hashable. The problem is physical security. It's terrifyingly simple to duplicate someone's fingerprint. Its just as safe as using "password."
>>53702732
Buy they can access everything on your icloud backup. The FBI bullshit is just for publicity.
>>53702466
I'm sure they will... and they'll call it a brand new innovation never before seen

Hate to break it to you but Apple themselves don't go around saying that. People who write about Apple do.
>>53702466
what about a retina scan instead?
>>53708961
Retina is already a trademark used by Apple.
They'd have to call it 'Soulgaze authenticator' or something like that.
>>53708961
Too dependent on the environment you are in if we're talking about the one used by Windows Hello.
My glasses fuck them up when it's too bright that the light gets reflected off the lens. I have to raise my glasses in order to be authenticated.
Otherwise, indoors work great with or without glasses.

Read the post. It's irrelevant that its encrypted. Aplle has the UID for every device. They can use this and a brute forced pin to decrypt it. There's only 10,000 combinations, it would be truvial to do.
Of course, Apple swears that they don't maintain records of UIDs, but this is the same company that said "We have never heard of PRISM" during the Snowden revelations.
