Hi I know biometrics are very experimental and hacked under linux but maybe somebody did some mod like this. What I need is to access my crypted hard disk by my fingerprint. It uses standard luks encryption.
The problem is that currently it's only possible by creating a program which if my fingerprint is accepted (compared with the one on the disk), sends a key to luks which is embedded in the program. In case the binary compromised an attacker can reverse it and gain access to my drive later. But even if I go ahead with this hack and protect the embedded key with AES or other algo (to make it impossible to figure out for someone who don't know how to reverse apps) the other issue is the integrity of the picture file which is used for the comparison. An attacker wouldn't even need to hack the program but enroll his own fingerprint and replace my fingerprint's picture file and that's it. _______________________________________________ fprint mailing list [email protected] http://lists.reactivated.net/mailman/listinfo/fprint
