much thanks to @gary_host_laptop for the logo design :)
They don't need to 3D print anything, only to "side load" the hash (it's more complex than that, but that's the gist). If your ID is tied to your finances, and it gets leaked, you can't change your ID. Your finger/palmprint is always your finger/palmprint.
Right. But can't they do that anyway? Your ID is linked to your finances. You get people stealing IDs all day everyday.
Family Guy did an episode on it.
If I've got your records you I'd birth certificate your job numbers your state details. Address phone emails passport passwords. I'm you. Except I have my biometrics.
Biometrics cannot be forcibly taken. I can't rock up to the bank manager with a severed finger. Yet I can take out a loan in your name without the fingerprint.
For fuck sake our security relies on signature. A badly written name.
