Surveillance risks contrast with privacy-first authentication.

Surveillance-focused facial recognition raises concerns over consent, data misuse, and insecure systems, with past breaches like Mexico City showing how criminals can exploit vulnerabilities. Recent scrutiny of companies such as Clearview and Flock Safety underscores ongoing risks tied to weak protections and non-consensual image collection. Efforts like ZeroTier’s encrypted peer-to-peer networking aim to secure surveillance feeds by isolating each camera, limiting exposure if compromised. In contrast, Alcatraz’s privacy-first authentication system avoids storing facial images, using encrypted representations to provide consensual, secure access control within buildings.
