Can you elaborate?
Makes forging facial biometrics easier.
In the case of Face ID, at least, you’d still have to transfer the measurements into the physical world, in a way that fools a system that has ostensibly been designed not to be fooled by masks.
Like a 3D printed model?
Doesn’t work for high quality face reco systems like iPhone X. You’d also need to get the IR reflectance, as well as a sign of life from the eyes.
