explains why data breaches are so common. Only companies that encrypt their access can fulfil their<br />

legal obligation of custody, possession and control of their data, since only they have full control of the<br />

keys to that data.<br />

Increased physical risks<br />

Of the issues stemming from FIDO’s proposal, none has more chilling implications than the risks that spill<br />

over to the physical world, which makes anyone with a portable device become an obvious target <strong>for</strong><br />

criminals. Many cases of physical assaults in the city of London have been reported where people were<br />

threatened with knives to give their fingerprint and face ID to open their devices. Should everyone use<br />

their identity on their mobile device to open all their accounts, anyone walking in the street becomes a<br />

target wallet <strong>for</strong> criminals.<br />

As we have learned from the last decades, a lot of new technology that seems convenient at first often<br />

hides oversized, un<strong>for</strong>eseen and uncalculated risks. FIDO’s proposal of using identity <strong>for</strong> access can<br />

directly affect people’s security and well-being. Fortunately, we have now accumulated enough<br />

experience and data to know better and do proper risk assessments be<strong>for</strong>e blindly going all in <strong>for</strong> the<br />

next shiny new object. If we have learned anything from our early mistakes with the internet, it is that<br />

convenience often hides a flipside you discover when it is too late. Let’s not make the same mistake<br />

when there is so much at stake.<br />
