> The Orb is also resilient to various forms of tampering, including attempts to modify its software, extract its cryptographic secrets, or disable its anti-spoofing system. This resilience is critical, since any of these intrusions might allow a hacker to generate fraudulent IrisHashes. The Orb’s embedded systems reliably detect advanced attacks of this kind, and prevent corresponding fraud.

Doubt. In the end this is a device collecting signals, signing them cryptographically, and sending them to the cloud. If there's an economic incentive someone will find a way to get it to sign fake signals.

There's also the centralization issue, where the manufacturer of these orbs essentially has total control over producing the currency.
