le persone ripongono una fiducia salvifica assolutista nella tecnologia. speriamo che le botte che si prenderanno in questo learning path non si rivelino troppo dure. ciao, s. On 19/01/2018 11:03, Alberto Cammozzo wrote:
Riassumo una serie di notizie "Biometriche" di oggi.
1/ Bloomberg riferisce un uso del riconoscimento facciale per controllare la minoranza uigura in Xinjang tanto massiccio e pesante da apparire inverosimile. <https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-01-17/china-said-to-test-facial...> China’s state surveillance apparatus is trying out a new tool in one of its favorite test beds, the restive region of Xinjiang. The Muslim-dominated villages on China’s western frontier are testing facial-recognition systems that alert authorities when targeted people venture more than 300 meters (1,000 feet) beyond designated “safe areas,” according to a person familiar with the project. The areas comprise individuals’ homes and workplaces, said the person, who requested anonymity to speak to the media without authorization. [...] The alert project is another example of how Xinjiang -- a region boarding Pakistan and Afghanistan that’s home to about 10 million Muslim ethnic Uighurs -- has become a laboratory for technologies that track large groups simultaneously. Spurred on by President Xi Jinping’s orders to “strike first” against Islamist extremism after deadly attacks involving Uighurs in 2013 and 2014, as well as reports of some fighting in Syria, the region has become one of the world’s most heavily policed places.
2/ In India, il sistema di indentificazione biometrico Adhaar passerà al riconoscimento facciale per superare i limiti del sistema basato sulle impronte digitali che non reggono nel tempo. Aadhaar to have facial recognition <https://fusion.werindia.com/hot-from-the-oven/aadhaar-facial-recognition> For quite a while, the recognition requirement for a person’s Aadhaar card has been a fingerprint recognition. However, this form of identification is beginning to cause problems, since people with fingerprints that have worn from age or people with fingerprints that have faded from intense agricultural labor cannot have their identity recognized for their Aadhaar card. The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has been coming up with some alternative identification methods in order to solve this problem.[...]
3/ Il mercato registra la sostituzione delle impronte digitali con riconoscimento facciale: Report says fingerprint sensors market facing a major disruption: The number of traditional standalone fingerprint sensors shipped has peaked, as in-display sensors and 3D facial recognition replace them, according to research by IHS Markit.<http://www.biometricupdate.com/201801/report-says-fingerprint-sensors-market...>
4/ Uso del Blockchain per memorizzare le features biometriche <https://medium.com/@dzakipurwanto97/biometrids-decentralised-and-anonymous-i...> Biometrids Decentralised and Anonymous ID by Facial Recognition on the Blockchain
