Simply using a little bit of children's play dough to capture the user's fingerprint can be used to unlock the iPhone.
 |
To prove that the fingerprint sensor on the iPhone is low-level and easy to fool, fingerprint sensor manufacturer Vkansee invited Business Insider reporters to participate in a small test at MWC 2016. |
 |
The staff here used dental mold making material to take the user's fingerprints. |
 |
The finger should be kept for about 5 minutes before the mold dries further and slowly removed to avoid breaking or changing the grain shape. |
 |
The molded part is then cooled and dried. |
 |
After the mold had dried, Vkansee staff continued to use a popular children's play dough called Play-Doh to take fingerprints. |
 |
The fingerprint sensor is developed by Vkansee itself and is confident that the company has very high detail and accuracy. |
 |
These types of sensors are commonly used on the iPhone as well as many other top smartphones. |
 |
Conventional optical fingerprint sensors used in time attendance machines are quite large in size. |
 |
The shape of the fingerprint sensor read by the device from Vkansee and transmitted to the computer is quite detailed. |
 |
The fingerprint sensor is taken from a low-detail mold but is still enough to fool and unlock the iPhone. |
