Igor Korchagin, head of the information security department of JSC Information Implementation Company (developer of IVK software products), also sees the most optimal authentication method as receiving a one-time code from special applications, the use of which does not reduce overall security, since the application does not have the required login and password information. Igor Korchagin recommends using software from domestic developers - Yandex Key or Kaspersky Password Manager.
Maxim Kharask, head of the industry architects department at the Innostage group of companies, explains that in the case of an app, the danger only arises when spyware albania whatsapp resource is installed on the device or the device is lost.
"The security of submitting biometrics through the State Services application is high, but it is difficult to assess it more accurately, since services that operate through a specialized application or website require the use of the user's hardware and use a limited set of types of submitted data. Due to their immutability, biometric data are sensitive information that allows not only to authenticate the user of the service, but also to identify a specific person. It is much more difficult to eliminate problems associated with the compromise of such data than when using other authentication methods," explained Evgeny Osminin.
To log in to the State Services portal using biometrics, it was previously necessary to register it at a bank branch. Since October 20, 2023, Russians have been able to submit their biometrics to the Unified Biometric System (UBS) via the State Services Biometrics mobile application without using a new generation passport.
When asked by a ComNews correspondent whether there is a difference in the method used to submit biometric data, Andrey Salomatin, former vice president and technical director of Renaissance Bank, responded that from a security standpoint there is no difference: "In all cases, various means of protection are used, and biometric data in any case ends up in the Unified Biometric System (UBS) and is stored only there."
According to him, biometrics will not completely replace other authentication methods in the near future, since a significant part of society is very concerned about the technology and possible leaks of biometric data. "But the state is obviously interested in the dissemination of this technology and will stimulate this process in every possible way," concluded Andrey Salomatin.
