The Touch ID on the iPhone 5S is rather amazing, making biometric security easier than what we’ve seen on computers. While this seems to be the best security yet, the Touch ID was easily bypassed by a group of biometric hackers from Chaos Computer Club.
All they needed to get started is a high resolution photograph of the owner’s finger print on a glass surface. According to them, the iPhone 5S fingerprint scanner is much secure than most scanners out there due to its higher resolution of 2400 dpi. In order to bypass, they had to up its “fake” fingerprint resolution in order for it to work. It seems easy from the video but the process of faking a fingerprint is rather tedious.

Obviously this is not easy to replicate in real life scenario unless of course you have an obsessive partner that is adamant about peeking into your phone’s contents. Nevertheless, the Touch ID is still a better option compared to Android’s Face Unlock.
