Face ID
Face ID is a facial recognition system, designed and released by Apple Inc. and is currently included in the iPhone X. It was announced on September 12, 2017 at the Steve Jobs Theater[1] introduced by Phil Schiller and demonstrated by Craig Federighi[2]. It is meant to replace Touch ID rather than to add another security mechanism. It allows users to unlock Apple devices, make purchases in the various Apple digital media stores (the iTunes Store, the App Store, and the iBooks Store), and authenticate Apple Pay online or in apps.
Characteristics
Flood illuminator
Invisible infrared light helps identify the face even when it’s dark.
Dot projector
More than 30,000 invisible infrared dots are projected onto the face to build a unique facial map.
Infrared camera
An infrared camera reads the dot pattern, captures an infrared image, then sends the data to the Secure Enclave in the A11 Bionic chip to confirm a match.
Controversies
Face ID may work slower [3] than Touch ID, be racially biasd (white people works better)[4] and prone to hacking by the police[5] or an identical twin[6].
Apple has stated that facial recognition information is stored locally in a secure enclave on the Apple A11 Bionic chip and is not stored in the cloud[citation needed].
