Now here's something for tinfoil hat owners: Police unlock dead man’s phone with his recreated fingertips
This week, Michigan State University announced that its team of researchers led by Professor Anil Jain successfully unlocked the Samsung Galaxy S6.
They first tried both 2D and 3D models, but nothing worked. It turned out that “... the basic problem was the relatively poor quality of the fingerprints that were provided to us from the police files,”, when they cleaned them up, they were able to unlock the phone.
