Some important details of the Touch ID iPhone 5S

After the release of new iPhones, there were some questions that were left unanswered associated with new features that were presented.
One of them, the Touch ID, left some issues related to security issues and on how Apple was the fingerprints that this sensor collects and analyzes.
Apple has now publicly explain a little better how this biometric reader works and present some additional information.



The need to come forward to explain that some details were still unclear about the new biometric sensor, which equips the new iPhone 5S, relates to some fears that began to appear in public.
These ideas, some the result of wrong information been fully clarified by a spokesperson for Apple, in an interview with The Wall Street Journal. In this interview beyond the details of the security ID Touch were also revealed other, associated with how it can be used.
One of the ideas that were to be passed, the wrong way by Apple, was that even without the data being transmitted fingerprint for Apple, this was to be stored in the processor A7.
This information is incorrect, and the processor saves A7, a safe zone and no access is only the material required for authentication is made based on the sensor information collected.
This way everyone can rest assured that Apple does not save any time in the image of your fingerprint.
For now, only a few Apple applications have access to authentication through the Touch ID nor developers will be able to use this feature.
Another detail is very important how Apple could implement safety mechanisms to prevent the security mechanisms Touch ID can be broken and thus provide access to user data.
Whenever a user to enable and configure authentication using digital printing, you will be prompted to set a numeric unlock. This code will be used to unlock the iPhone 5S, if it is restarted or is more than 48 hours without being unlocked.
