The Broomfield-based company Biofire has produced a gun that can only be used by someone with the right fingerprint or face scan. Experts have differing visions of what a post-smart gun world might look like.
My understanding from the Forgotten Firearms video is that so far the system looks pretty mechanically secure. No silly magnet tricks or RFID stealing here. As for electronic security, neither him or me are an expert in that domain so the jury’s still out, but it’s encouraging to know that all biometric data (print, face scan) is encrypted and stored locally! In fact, it’s stored directly on the gun. How’s that for data security? You have to steal my gun out of my hand and then decrypt it to get my deets :3
Fuck, decrypting a gun to steal biometric data is so cyberpunk.
