Apple announced the latest update, iOS 15, which will be distributed in the second half of this year at WWDC 2021.One of the new features that users can be expected to be able to register a license in the Wallet app, but what measures will be taken so that they do not register an ID card other than the person?
Apparently, Apple adopts a facial authentication method.As 9to5mac discovered, Apple seems to use face authentication as one of the ways to check the person when adding an identification card to the Wallet app.
The authentication process is described as follows."First, take a picture. This photo is composed with the photo of your ID. Then close your eyes until the iPhone vibrates. Open your mouth in the same way. The iPhone vibrates.Then, please raise your eyebrows next time. "
That being said, it is unknown whether it is necessary to have an iPhone with a TrueDepth sensor, or if it is enough to use a front camera to check the photos of the ID card.In any case, it is a good way to prevent an ID other than the person from being added.
