"Next you have to “lift” the print. This is the realm of CSI. You need to develop the print using one of several techniques involving the fumes from cyanoacrylate (“super glue”) and a suitable fingerprint powder before carefully (and patiently) lifting the print using fingerprint tape. It is not easy. Even with a well-defined print, it is easy to smudge the result, and you only get one shot at this: lifting the print destroys the original."
The most interesting thing about the new article is learning that the iPhone6 TouchID sensor is more accurate and scans a bigger part of your finger. That's good to hear.
I can only agree with the author that TouchID is mostly "good enough" security, but it'd be really great to have "enterprise-class" security by simply allowing 2-factor auth including TouchID + passcode.
I may be a bit naive but I don't see Apple being able to reconstruct your physical fingerprint from their store info in the security enclave - I see it more of a one-way function and if it never leaves the device, then it seems safe to be collected.
