Investigation — — What do people think of "brushing face to withdraw money"?
So, what is the public’s attitude towards this convenient function of withdrawing money without inserting a bank card?
When Ms. Wang, a white-collar worker, first heard about this function, she expressed her concern to Zhongxin. com: "This thing is very dangerous. If you are kidnapped, just take it directly and brush your face without forcing you to say your password."
Others are not clear about the process of "brushing face to withdraw money", thinking that bank cards still need to be inserted. Some people, like Ms. Wang, mistakenly think that they can withdraw money by brushing their faces without entering other information.
After the field experience, we can find that, in fact, you don’t need to insert a bank card to withdraw money, but after face recognition, you still need to enter your personal identification information and withdrawal password before you can withdraw money. It’s not what you think, you can withdraw money simply by brushing your face.

Discussion — — Is it safe to "brush your face to withdraw money"?
Qiu Xuekan, a visual analysis expert of 360 Artificial Intelligence Research Institute, told Zhongxin.com that "face-brushing withdrawal" uses face comparison technology, that is, whether the face in front of the ATM and the face registered by the user ID card in the system are the same person, before comparison, it is necessary to ensure that the face in front of the camera is real and effective, that is, live detection.
Regarding whether "face-brushing withdrawal" is safe, the relevant bank told the media that the technology is safe, and it can completely resist photos, face-changing videos, remakes and mask attacks, with high recognition accuracy.
However, many people are still worried that technologies such as 3D masks may still break through this technology. Qiu Xuekan emphasized that "brush face to withdraw money" does not mean that you can withdraw money by brushing your face, but you can first brush your face and enter your mobile phone number for identity comparison, and then enter your password to withdraw money. Therefore, the role of face brushing is to replace the physical bank card, and the security of withdrawal is still mainly guaranteed by password, and the key is to ensure that the withdrawal password is not leaked.
Huang Di, an associate professor at Beihang University, said that every technology can’t be perfect, and high-tech technologies have both "attack" and "defense". For any science and technology, attacks with various intentions always exist. After the system is threatened, some emergency plans will be put forward according to the attacks. "Attack" and "defense" can be said to be progressing together.
