Secure access to operational railway entries

Why Face ID is used

The digital railway logbook may contain sensitive operational entries and communication documentation. For this reason, the app supports Face ID as an additional security mechanism.

Face ID helps prevent unauthorized persons from accessing existing entries or creating new entries under another person's identity.

The biometric device authentication is used solely to protect the application and the locally stored data on the device.

Additional protection for entries

Entries within the railway logbook can additionally be confirmed through device authentication.

This creates an additional layer of security so that entries can be associated with the authorized person using the device.

Face ID authentication does not replace operational railway rules, approvals or official procedures.

No storage of biometric data

The application itself does not store biometric information such as facial scans or fingerprints.

Authentication is handled entirely through Apple's built-in iPhone security systems.

Fernsprechbuch only receives confirmation whether the authentication was successful.
