Fingerprint Faking HOWTO

|  posted on 4/28/05 by Matt Gray

Every day, I'm amazed by at least one thing I discover online. Today, it happens to be a brief guide to creating fake fingerprints from the Chaos Computer Club in Germany.

Why do this? According to BoingBoing, biometrics are required at Disneyworld, the Statue of Liberty, and even tanning salons in Arkansas. How effective is this technology? Should its users be concerned over privacy and identity theft issues? Absolutely.

Read the guide—in ten years, perhaps everyone will wear protective sheaths over their identifiable digits.
