There are tons of problem with secret being leaked, forgotten, thats why we should start figuring out a better way.


You know, before anybody starts working on something, they need to at least have a hint it may work and not be easily compromised - e.g. what's preventing hacker from just copying the expected data from facial recognition system and pasting it themselves since it's public?

You say "just fix it to detect whether it's legit data" - how? Deep fakes are getting better by the day, we already have problems with recognizing them ourselves.

Again, I'm not the expert, every situation will may require its unique solution.

Yes this my attempt to at least give a hint with my far from expert knowledge.

My point is we should spend our effort to solve this instead of trying to make information private.

No, this isn't a hint, because I already stated why it wouldn't work: thief will just use publicly available data and create deep fake to mimic the owner of the bank account.

If we had technology which could magically determine whether received data is genuine, the only safety check would be "Are you an owner? [y/n]"

Again, nobody sane ever have spend any effort on something without even a hint for it being possible. I am asking: what's your argument to even think it's possible?


Unfortunately I don't think you'll get a genuine response.

It'd be fascinating to watch someone to try and recreate concepts from cryptography without the crypto though!
