The Iranian group defeated the very basic phenomenon of an iPhone Fingerprinting scanner, which allows them to unlock an iPhone device with multiple Fingerprints.



Apple's Touch ID", that involves analyzing a user's fingerprint and using that to unlock the phone. Apple's iPhone 5s , was launched just available in stores two weeks before with a new feature of biometrics-based security system called "", that involves analyzing a user's fingerprint and using that to unlock the phone.





Apple launched the technology that it promises will better protect devices from criminals and snoopers seeking access. With this you can purchase things from the iTunes App Store. Basically, you can now use it in place of your password.



"Fingerprint is one of the best passcodes in the world. It's always with you, and no two are exactly alike," according to the Apple's website.





Last week Germany Hackers showed that how they were able to deceive Apple's latest security feature into believing they're someone they're not, using a well-honed technique for creating a latex copy of someone's fingerprint.





An Iranian group of iPhone Geeks from Tehran running a blog i.e. " i-Phone . ir " contacted 'The Hacker News' with another awesome Touch ID hack, shown that how they defeated the very basic phenomenon of Fingerprinting scanner i.e. "No two Fingerprints are exactly alike". (Greets to Bashir Khoshnevis , Mohsen Lotfi , Shayan Khabazian and other members of i-Phone . ir support team)



In a video demonstration, provided to The Hacker News, the Group set up a mixed Fingerprint scan of 5-6 people for an iPhone 5S handset (as shown in the video), which allowed all of them to unlock the locked device with their individual fingerprint.



According to Apple, the chance that Touch ID will misread a finger is 1 in 50,000 , this is because Touch ID is not designed to capture the fingerprint in strict mode. It scans the fingerprint on a very high-resolution (2400 dpi), to get and match the partial parts of an impression for faster unlocking.



If the iPhone is not able to scan the thumb impression in the strict mode to be unique, there is a possibility that out of 1000 thumb impressions iPhone's Touch ID system can count 2-3 impressions as of the same person.



It could be a feature only if 5 different keys (fingers) are of the same person, but here we have 5 different people with the same key (finger), absolutely Touch ID is not a family key system that should work for Dad-Mom-sister and elder brother.



I asked my co-researchers "Wang Wie" and "IOS firmware 7.0.2 and iPhone users will not receive any patch soon for this.



Another interesting fact is that, Touch ID is not only designed to scan the fingerprints of your fingers, it works with various human body parts and appendages which are also not fingers.An Iranian group of iPhone Geeks from Tehran running a blog i.e. "" contacted '' with another awesome Touch ID hack, shown that how they defeated the very basic phenomenon of Fingerprinting scanner i.e. "".
