I tried to compete with Apple's "Face ID" with a special makeup of Hollywood.

The "iPhone X" [Japanese version] released on November 3 is a full display design without a home button, and can unlock with the user's face.Apple has been in a big bet, the future of the person certification, is the [Japanese version of the Japanese version].

This Face ID function was a target for hackers around the world.Then, how much is the fact that it reproduces the human face (widely “public” and can be seen by anyone) and uses it to break a system that is almost impossible to break through.Is it difficult?

The answer is "very difficult".

Immediately after Apple announced his Face ID, the WIRED US version began effort to deceive the face recognition system.In addition to the experienced hackers in the biological authentication field, the special modeling and makeup artists of Hollywood, the "WIRED" US version sacrifice the gadget critic David Pierce, and all of his faces.I spent thousands of dollars to accurately reproduce from eyebrows to accurately.

Let's say to readers who are thinking about hacking face authentication.I want you to save money and time.We failed.So, did you go to the regrettable place?I don't know the answer.Apple's face authentication system does not show hints or scores even if the data is read, but only sounds the padlock icon quietly locked or ruthlessly rejected the sound of access.The only thing I learned from experiments with a lot of money was that it was not so easy to fake Face ID.

Sooner or later, someone will definitely break through the system (we haven't given up yet).The Touch ID of the fingerprint authentication was broken a few days after the release of the iPhone 5s.However, there is no doubt that Apple has created a lock mechanism that is easy to use for device owners and cannot be released (for now).

Mark Rogers, a researcher at the Web Security Company CloudFlare, and Mark Rogers, a renowned hacker who asked for help in this experiment, said, "Apple must have been considering a variety of scenarios for attacks that would naturally occur."To tell.Rogers became famous as one of the first hackers who broke the Touch ID in 2013."It is clear that we have tested various materials and built a powerful model that can withstand clever attacks."

It's not a face recognition system here

Rogers said that the Face ID was much more complicated than just a two -dimensional face check, based on the new product event, the information leaked in advance, and the contents of Apple's patent application.A simple authentication system with a scan of a flat image that was installed in the Samsung's "Galaxy" series is easy to deceive with a face photo.The iPhone X creates a 3D model of the face by irradiating a grid consisting of 30,000 infrared dots on the face and reading the distortion with an infrared camera.

And I know that the face alone is useless.The Face ID has a biological detection function that unlocks only when the owner stars at the screen.This is to avoid malfunctioning when the mochi's face happens to be within the shooting range of the camera.

Rogers believe that color is probably not an important factor in the Face ID algorithm.The color of the face varies depending on the type of lighting and the brightness of the room, and it also affects illness and sunburn.Therefore, in the experiment, we focused on the proportions and textures of the face to deceive the iphone X infrared camera.
