Fingerprint identification industry standards will be improved unified security applications
Release date:2016-01-26
January 1, 2013, the ministry decided to formally start the ID card registration fingerprint information work, and plans before the end of December so that urban and rural household registration police have reached can accept identity card registration fingerprint information standards, related hardware and software system construction fingerprint registration Work completed during the year 2013 to promote the progress faster than market expectations. Market size convenient service and social applications around the next five years to carry out fingerprint identity cards will be more than 5 billion.
    At the Third China Biometric Industry Innovation Forum, more than 200 representatives from the Chinese field of biometrics business, academia and other discussed the biometric fingerprint, face, iris, palm, vein recognition technology in intelligent security, New smart phones, smart banking, customs clearance and other areas of intelligence, applications and ideas.
 
    FIDO Alliance to promote industrial chain standard uniform
 
    This year, the smart phone market set off a wave of fingerprint recognition, since 2013, Apple released iPhone5S first time using fingerprint recognition technology, became the first to eat crab companies, domestic and foreign mobile phone manufacturers have followed up. Apple TouchID fingerprint identification technology is provided by AuthenTec's company, but since only Apple's own use, Andrews camp manufacturers had to find their own way forward.
 
    Fingerprint recognition technology is a very complex system engineering, related to the industry chain is more complex: fingerprint identification chip manufacturers, handset manufacturers, fingerprint identification module manufacturers, will be converted to code fingerprint authentication process solutions provider, also A similar technique landing Alipay to software applications providers. For general chip makers, module manufacturers or software integrators, which is a high threshold of systems engineering challenges, there is no strong software and hardware infrastructure to build strength is difficult to form a complete solution. Coupled with the involved companies are based on patent protection fragmented, and therefore resulted in the lack of industry standards.
 
    In fact, as early as July 2012, Google, Microsoft, PayPal, Intel, Samsung and other 48 technology companies had been set up FIDO (FastIDentityOnline) alliance, the Coalition began efforts to establish a connection hardware and online services technical standards. It is understood that the plan after several years spent millions of dollars, which is the first use Samsung's GalaxyS5 FIDO technical specifications of fingerprint identification smartphone.
 
    Apple's closed TouchID different, FIDO open source alliance, as long as compliance with Union standards, regardless of the mobile phone manufacturers, chip makers or technical service providers, Internet companies can join.
 
    Union is a powerful driving force for the formation of a unified chain standards, such as USB, cell phone charger interface, HTML5, etc. are all standardized and harmonized through the league. FIDO Union to some extent be able to dredge upstream and downstream industry chain, to form a unified industry standard.
 
    Fingerprint domestic industry chain began to mature
 
    Apple TouchID the successful application of the domestic mobile phone industry chain trigger enthusiasm for fingerprint identification technology.
 
    Currently, domestic manufacturers have entered the field, touch the top chip makers such as sinks, thinking Li Wei, BYD have fingerprint identification chip layout; and some touch screen and camera modules are also beginning to join the ranks of the fingerprint identification module, such as Ophelia light invest 200 million in Nanchang fingerprint identification module development and production.
 
    Domestic companies to join the market is expected to break the status quo fingerprint rely Korean manufacturers (Korea Crucialtec company is fingerprint recognition module larger providers). In the latest release of the Meizu MX4Pro, its front presses fingerprint identification technology is the use of technology to provide top domestic manufacturers exchange program.
 
    Meanwhile, the fingerprint recognition technology costs are also declining. Currently, Apple fingerprint identification module is priced at $ 11-14, while domestic manufacturers can produce the module prices down to $ 8-9.
 
    Fingerprint recognition technology still faces two challenges
 
    However, fingerprint recognition technology still faces two challenges: the lack of information security and application.
 
    Security is the biggest problem has been plagued by fingerprint recognition technology. Apple TouchID known as the safest in the day they were launched by hackers to crack, but was taken to replicate the way to cheat fingerprints. It is understood that the latest generation of fingerprint recognition technology has bioelectric recognition, fingerprint or finger copy will not be able to identify.
 
    Fingerprint authentication solutions provider has launched a software solution. General fingerprint sensor fingerprint authentication process is converted to local phone key with fingerprint data to identify the judge after contrast. Some local manufacturers have uploaded to the cloud fingerprint data, once the server under attack will lead to accidents. At present, most of the solutions is to fingerprint data stored in a separate "black box", the "black box" with the main operating system isolation, even if the phone poisoning data will not be read outside. Meizu MX4Pro is taken in this way, stored in the phone opens up a separate Trustzone, effectively blocking the data is read outside.
 
    For most iPhone users, the current fingerprint identification function is mainly used to "unlock." The relative scarcity but also hinder the development of the smart phone is a difficult problem fingerprint recognition applications. But at this year's WWDC2014, Apple has announced the opening of fingerprint recognition TouchID to developers, which indicates that there will be more applications based on fingerprint identification began. In addition, Apple also introduced this year ApplePay, mobile payments or the future will be the main purpose of fingerprint identification. Huawei Mate7 combined purse launched Alipay payment scheme, and Meizu also announced Alipay, to develop micro-channel M-Pay payment solutions.
 
    Data show that in 2015 the global smart phone with fingerprint recognition shipments will reach 350 million, which accounted for 60 million domestic -1 million, while domestic smart phone market is expected to reach fingerprint recognition 30-50 billion scale. Such a large gap in the market will lead to a large number of industry chain manufacturers to join the field of fingerprint identification, and, due to the large-scale, standardized production costs down so quickly module, fingerprint identification will most likely like the touch screen, camera, like smart phones become the standard configuration. Coupled with a large wave fueled mobile payment, fingerprint recognition standard will accelerate the arrival of the era
