IEEEHackers can access smartphones through data cord used for chargingedit
In a recent paper published in IEEE Transactions on Information Forensics and Security, researchers warn that “a malicious charging station” can use seemingly unrelated data in this case, a device’s power consumption to extract sensitive information
IEEESmartphone fingerprint scanners are less secure than we are led to believeedit
Memon noted that the results of the team’s research are based on minutiae-based matching, which any particular vendor may or may not use. Nevertheless, as long as partial fingerprints are used for unlocking devices and multiple partial impressions per finger are stored, the probability of finding MasterPrints increases significantly, he said. The study appears in the journal IEEE Transactions on Information Forensics and Security.
