With my earlier post, I have mentioned
that Ice Cream Sandwich has a major security vulnerability with it's
face unlock feature. Google which has always said that the
‘Face Unlock’ feature was no more than a gimmick and definitely
not a serious biometric feature that pointed at security found that
their feature allowed users to unlock their devices using just a
photo of themselves only days after it was announced. (But this feature has been improved in JellyBean, as i mentioned there)
Samsung on the other hand, are
determined to make the feature evolve and be taken more seriously as
a genuine security measure that can be used by users. They have added
a feature which requires the user to blink when the window that is
capturing your face comes up to prove that you are indeed not a
photograph. With regards to when the update containing this fix will
come out, it is still unclear. Be careful when you are updating your firmware since there are so many methods on the internet to update your phone for this value pack. Best is to get the update from Samsung itself through your mobile phone.
This feature is added in the Samsung Galaxy S "value pack" update. Be careful when you are updating your firmware since there are so many methods on the internet to update your phone for this value pack. Best is to get the update from Samsung itself through your mobile phone.If you are still not updated your firmware on your Samsung Galaxy, hurry up and update your software.
Cheers !!!
