Harvey designed make-up and hairstyles that confuse face recognition. Blas cast masks from the averaged faces of many people, so the machine recognises no one.
Code
biometrics
A face or a fingerprint is convenient but it is not a password: everyone can see it and you cannot change it after a leak.
Action
Add a second factor to face unlock.
Добавьте к входу по лицу второй фактор.
The label in the room
The same hash is printed at the foot of the label. If they match, nobody changed the text.
Artists invented make-up and masks that hide a face from cameras. A face is a poor password: everyone sees it and it cannot be changed. Add a second factor to face unlock.
Художники придумали грим и маски, которые прячут лицо от камер. Лицо — плохой пароль: его видят все и нельзя сменить после утечки. Добавьте к входу по лицу второй фактор.
