The Telegram messenger may receive a biometric user identification system based on palm prints within 5 years. This method of logging into the application will solve the problem with fraudulent bots and facilitate cryptocurrency transactions. TON Society and HumanCode will be involved in the implementation of biometrics in Telegram.
At the Web3 conference in Hong Kong, developers stated that palm print identity verification technology is universal. Biometric identification works with any smartphones, browsers, and cameras. It will provide secure digital IDs for 500 million Telegram users.
Experts stated that biometrics is becoming even more relevant against the backdrop of leaks and numerous thefts of confidential data.
Thanks to biometrics, applications can offer users more reliable authentication methods compared to traditional passwords or SMS codes.
However, its implementation obliges developers to ensure reliable data protection against leaks and attackers, experts emphasized. Managing users' biometric data requires a high level of protection, they summarized.
Earlier www1.ru reported that Telegram figured out how to protect users from threats and calls for terrorist attacks.
