Gait biometric systems capture step patterns using video images and then convert the collated data into a mathematical equation. Gait as a biometric measure can be influenced by several factors, including footwear, terrain, fatigue, and injury.

…Love this sub, I don’t have hardcore needs in terms of privacy, but wanted to know for people that enjoy a covid mask, their opinion on Gait Rec. Technologies, and does any one have any intel in throwing these systems off, whether or not that is impossible?

      Well, if you did it all the time they would consistently identify you.

        true, of course it depends on various factors right, because if your in the system, they need a way to link your identity to your gait, and for most people it would be impossible to avoid unless you’ve been running level 10 Opsec for the past 20 years you might be in the clear

          You’re right, it would be very annoying to change up your gait all the time unless you’re a potential target. Like you, I try to avoid being tracked and surveillances as much as possible just by principle. But for something like this it would be very impractical.
