Gait detection renders any of this obsolute sadly.

If you're willing to go to the lengths of adversarial fashion, you're probably also willing to walk around with a stone in your shoe, or in high heels.

Or dance like you've never danced before: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R46cX0AjzT4

Pfft. Stilts, 10 footers, that's the key.

A third pant leg sown on one side with a rock on the bottom will (probably) throw off some algos.

This is a good idea! https://youtu.be/BNhriA2xq9E

And set off hella red flags for everything else (probably wouldn't be too much of a problem if you just say "it's to foil gait detection" when you get interrogated about your third leg. people tend to be cool with all kinds of weird shit as long as it's for a reason). Could maybe work if gait detection is the only adversary in your life for sure.

And cost at scale renders gait detection detection and most face detection at scale useless. The sexy movie detection methods all suck.

Go with what works. Just id people via their phones with a dirtbox.

You beat me to it:)

gait analysis is up there with bite marks(https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/apr/28/forensics-bi... )/jeans wear marks(https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.1917222117) and other FBI post hoc ergo propter hoc fraud.

If it worked this would be a solved case https://www.fbi.gov/contact-us/field-offices/washingtondc/ne...

Luckily my gait is not in an adtech company's database and sold to the government, like my face probably is.

How do you know?

ID phone Bluetooth on passing, or even facial rec, then it gets tied to gait, and it's forever tied.

Just keep your phone down in your third pant leg instead of using a rock.

Put different insoles in your shoe every day
