Biometrics unreliable? More than 80% Americans don't buy it-biometric, fingerprint recognition, iris recognition-IT information
United States may be the most technologically advanced country in the world, but it seems that United States people for a lot of new technology does not buy it. According to from Yougov for United States e-mail user of a items latest survey displayed, in more than 10 million 18 age above of survey who in the, about only half (58%) of user like through retinal scan or fingerprint recognition such biological validation way to protection himself of privacy security, and also has quite number of for tendencies Yu using password, set also was in using "1234" such safety is low of password combination.
It is reported that this 42% users do not like to use biometrics to protect the privacy of their own data, while vigilance is a good thing, but apparently quite a few users for emerging technology or do not trust attitude.
Although biometrics technology has begun to appear with more, or even have become standard products, including smart phones, users only need to use your fingers flick you can unlock or payment, but clearly such high technology usage and not the traditional password. In fact, the only 10% Americans who use the fingerprint sensor, such as retinal scans and facial recognition, speech recognition, use even less than 2%.
As to why the United States technology so users do not trust, according to the survey, 42% expressed concern that the failure of the user unable to position their online accounts, and also close to 30% users biometric means of security are not high, fear was breached or bypassed by criminals.
"The survey results show that biometric technologies are far from being accepted by the mass market, clearly needs further promotion of bio-recognition technologies in the field of the Internet as a whole in the area of security status. "Jan Oetjen, Chief Executive of mail.com. "In order to solve this problem, suppliers and vendors of biometric data should be improved protection capabilities and ease of use, some common sense and universal biometric technology. ”
生物识别不靠谱？八成以上的美国人不买账 - 生物识别,指纹识别,虹膜识别 - IT资讯
美国也许是世界上科技最发达的国家，但是似乎美国人民对于许多新科技并不买账。根据来自Yougov针对美国电子邮件用户的一项最新调查显示，在1000多万18周岁以上的调查者中，大约只有一半（58%）的用户喜欢通过视网膜扫描或者指纹识别这样生物验证方式来保护自己的隐私安全，而还有相当数量的用于倾向于使用密码，设置还有人在使用“1234”这样安全系数很低的密码组合。
据悉，这42%的用户并不喜欢用生物识别方式来保护自己的隐私数据，虽然保持警惕性是好事，但是显然相当多的用户对于新兴技术还是持一种并不信任的态度。
虽然生物识别技术已经开始越来越普遍的出现，甚至已经成为了包括智能手机在内产品的标配，用户只需要用自己的手指轻轻一按就可以解锁或付款，但是显然这种技术的使用率并没有传统的密码高。事实上，只有10%的美国人在使用指纹传感器，至于视网膜扫描、面部识别、语音识别等方式，使用率甚至不到2%。
至于为何美国用户对新技术如此不信任，根据调查显示，42%的用户表示担心出现故障无法方位自己的在线账户，而还有接近30%的用户认为生物识别手段的安全性不高，担心被不法分子攻破或者绕过。
“调查结果证明生物识别技术远远还没有被大众市场所接受，显然整个互联网领域需要进一步推广生物识别技术在安全领域的地位。”mail.com的首席执行官Jan Oetjen表示。“为了解决这个问题，供应商和厂商们应该提高生物识别技术对数据的保护能力和易用性，并且普及生物识别技术的一些常识。”
