Abstract
Effective, safe, and fast identity recognition is crucial in today’s rapidly growing society. As a convenient and reliable alternative to traditional identification methods, biometric technologies are increasingly adopted for security applications, such as the verification of ID cards or passports and the authentication of computer and mobile devices. However, if spoofed, such technologies can create serious privacy and security risks, and the proliferation of high quality multimedia content on social media platforms facilitates such spoofing attacks. Unfortunately, many users are unaware of the risks of posting their biometric information online and social media companies are not taking appropriate action to protect them. In this paper, we make the case for biometric anti-spoofing policies by examining the social media enabled marketplace of Etsy. We demonstrate that biometric information can be collected from social media users and that the level of privacy concerns is not a predictor of a user’s biometric information sharing behavior.
