Effects on security measures

Open iherman opened this issue 3 months ago • 3 comments

The section on security concentrates on the danger of impersonations. However, there may be additional dangers regarding the security measure taken by Websites for secure access. An obvious endangered approach is the use of captchas: an AI system may be in position to answer those captchas question, thereby making it, essentially, useless. Systems relying on biometric data might also be endangered (simple face or voice recognitions, for example).

Although the details of those techniques have not been developed at W3C, they also affect access to many Websites, so it is very much in the purview of this study.
