preface

Attack and defense are a pair of contradictions that have existed since ancient times. People came out of caves, built houses and built cities, all of which were defensive. People made boxes, locks and safes for defense. Now, passwords are something everyone will use, such as bank cards, password locks, and games, forums QQ、 WeChat and the mobile phones we use every day will have password applications. Everyone needs to remember more and more passwords, which makes people dizzy. Maybe you will say that I don't have this problem. I have one account and all websites use one password. However, with the increasingly severe network security, many large portal websites have the problem of account leakage, so the security of passwords cannot be ignored. The password lander has been used as a browser plug-in for a long time. There are also professional software plug-ins that can help us record the ID and password of different websites. However, this soft environment still has many vulnerabilities. People gradually began to focus on the combination of hard and soft research. At present, the most popular hardware protection is fingerprint identification, which is also the cheapest way. But it is also the easiest way to crack it. You can buy a fingertip for tens of dollars on Taobao.

A company and Tsinghua University are working together to develop a new encryption recognition mode: vein recognition. This way is relatively new. Vein recognition is a kind of biometrics. One way is to obtain the personal vein distribution map through the vein recognition device, and extract the characteristic values from the vein distribution map according to the special comparison algorithm. The other way is to obtain the images of fingers, palms and dorsal palms veins through the infrared CCD camera, and store the digital images of veins in the computer system to realize the storage of characteristic values. During vein comparison, vein images are taken in real time, and advanced filtering, image binarization, and thinning methods are used to extract features from digital images. Complex matching algorithms are used to compare and match vein feature values stored in the host computer, so as to identify individuals and confirm their identities. Its characteristic is that it will not be lost or stolen and does not need to remember the password; Not affected by rough skin and external environment; It has high accuracy and can not be copied or forged.

The name of this company is iBio. Founded in 2014, this company is mainly engaged in the R&D, production and sales of finger vein identity authentication technology products. In cooperation with Tsinghua University, it pioneered the radio frequency identification technology of three-dimensional venography and developed a living recognition tool. Today, I got a hardware of vein recognition used by this company: vein recognition mouse.

Unpacking

Wukong's simple black package is mysterious, with a high-end feeling. There is only one logo on the front, which makes people wonder what this product is at first sight

The four sides of the box are black without any information,

I finally saw the product information on the back

The packing box is very tight, which is very difficult for the first time. See the figure below for the unpacking process

The mouse is strictly protected in the shockproof foam. If the express delivery gentlemen did not use a hammer or an electric drill, they would not hurt the mouse itself.

Wukong has the most basic three buttons of the mouse. It is made of black frosted plastic. It feels good. The left button of the mouse is smooth and crisp, and the right button feels a bit stiff

There is a big ear on the left side of the mouse, which makes people think that there is a wood in one ear? There are also four shiny "earrings" on the ears - actually near-infrared lights.

Below the ear is Wukong's own "psychic gem" - the back of the vein viewfinder

back

The mouse size is 117 * 69 * 43mm, slightly larger than the ordinary mouse

use

Insert the mouse into the USB port of the computer to use the normal functions of the mouse.

Tips during installation Don't ignore it

The software is finally opened. For the first time, you need to register vein recognition. The process is very fast. Put your finger in the viewfinder window for 1-2 seconds and the sampling is successful

Enter the main interface of the software,

Add Baidu Online Disk, Youku, and 58 local accounts to test, click the added account, and then automatically go to the website, and then -- there will be no more

There is no automatic login on Baidu page, no floating window or plug-in, how to use it? QQ contacted online customer service and no one answered, but gave up

It meets the conditions of IE8.0 and has been tried with the security software turned off,

The file protection function is actually a file locking and hiding function, which is no different from what we use in peacetime, except that when unlocking, we need to enter the software for vein recognition verification. If we change this operation mode to click the protected file and pop up the pop-up window for vein verification, it will be more convenient and fast

Screen locking is simpler, that is, the password is replaced by vein recognition

summary

Compared with ordinary users, vein recognition is still a new thing. The hardware recognition accuracy and response speed are good. At present, the main problem is how to adapt more websites, more browsers, how to log in quickly and accurately, and the security of saved data.

With the R&D ability in this field, I think that we can first develop into a level one "lock", such as the verification of USB flash disk, mobile power and other storage security authentication when the computer is turned on. The website login involves all aspects, and it is still a mature way to develop this aspect.

Vein recognition is a new thing, and it is inevitable that there will be bugs of one kind or another. But as long as the hardware is strong and the software is improved in the later stage, I believe we can make a difference!
