Severed fingers can not unlock iPhone 5S

The new flagship of Apple, the iPhone 5S, brings a technology that identifies the user's fingerprint. However, this news led to several users stay concerned about the fact that some criminals can kidnap someone and cut the victim's finger to access a stolen iPhone.

However, biometric security experts have already come out and say that this will not be possible.

In the event of revelation of the new iPhones last September 10, it was announced that the iPhone Touch ID used a radio frequency to analyze the different layers of your skin. And, according to experts, it is necessary that the finger is "live", ie, it is the user's hand.

"The technology was built so that the fingerprint has to be captured from a live finger," said Sebastien Taveau of Validity Sensors, the site Mashable.

Taveau also claimed that Apple is not innovating, but to pick a technology and make it usable for everyone.

"Apple used a technology that has existed for some time. The only difference was that of having to become cool. "
