Recently, security by Intel (Intel-Security) commissioned by the US market research firm’s latest research report pointed out that four percent of consumers believe that the traditional password in the smart home ecosystem is an effective way, preferring biometric-based security solutions. Survey results show that 54% of people tend to fingerprint to unlock 46% of people prefer speech recognition as well as 42 percent of people tend to unlock the iris.

　　1. Intelligent home security vulnerable?

Smart Home users tend to question the safety of everyone biometrics program?

The agency for the United States, Britain, France, Germany, Brazil, India, Canada, Australia and Mexico 9 cities 9,000 users conducted a survey, 77% of respondents expect 2025 intelligent home as it is now smart phones become so common as common.

And in terms of security, 92% of those surveyed expect smart home could be hacked and it is possible to obtain their personal information; 89% of those surveyed said that if life in such smart home, will invest in safety to ensure data security and personal devices.

From the data, the majority of respondents are smart home security protection attaches great importance on the current security situation responded with skepticism. Visible intelligent home security companies is still much room for improvement.

　　2. Smart Home will abandon the traditional way to increase biometrics

With the traditional password-protected programs are increasingly disgusted by the user, in recent years, it began to promote the development of the new biometric technology. According to market research firm ABI-Research expects the global biometric technology and applications will reach over 30 billion US dollars market size in 2021, compared with approximately $ 13.7 billion in 2015 a substantial growth of 118%.

What is biometrics? Brief introduction is through the computer and optics, acoustics, biosensors and other high-tech means of statistical principles closely, using the body’s natural physiological characteristics (such as fingerprints, face, like, iris, etc.) and behavioral characteristics ( such as handwriting, voice, gait, etc.) to identify a person’s identity.

Reliability because multiple factors with multiple biological changes, uniqueness and other features, will be born intelligent authentication solutions gradually into the eyes of the manufacturers, the consumer market is increasingly expanding.

These biometric identity protection programs to enhance the ability of smart home products, making it less vulnerable to attack identity and security credentials. This helps to reduce by intercepting malicious entity, rewrite, replay attack risk and other types of equipment tampering policy, including privileged access to more advanced attacks.

Tom Garrison, vice president of Intel also expressed the hope that users no longer need to remember and enter the password to use smart products.

　　3. Smart Home biometric technology is constantly upgrading

Some people may also proposed, for example in television movies can often see the hand of thieves cut the head of the household, with its fingerprint identification through safe, is not that biometrics has not said security?

In fact, the field of biometrics, has developed many completely eliminate the above-mentioned fingerprint steal circumstances, such as finger vein recognition technology.

　　4. Smart Home finger vein technology principle and applications

Compared with the traditional biometric technology such as fingerprint, finger vein technology has significant advantages. The finger vein reader is based on the use of near-infrared light vein image obtained by finger vein is inside the body features will not be disclosed, and therefore will not be easily extracted as fingerprints, there was no work accidentally cut a finger, skin damage unrecognized result in fingerprint case; the finger vein image requires the existence of blood flow through, thus ensuring the finger vein recognition is living in an absolute sense.

This finger vein recognition technology from research projects Hitachi medical institutions. In this project, the researchers found that each person through finger vein image obtained near-infrared radiation are not the same, which created the conditions for a new identity. After 10 years of perfect optimization has been cured to finger vein recognition module, and global markets. Like everyday life appear ATM machine, input device, as well as access control, time and attendance devices, many of which are based on finger vein module development.

　　5. Biometrics + Internet + smart home

In many integration projects, but also reflects the user really need is not a single biometric technology, but a safer, more convenient, more controlled environments. To finger vein recognition technology invention, mature, application, combined with face recognition technology is based on the evolution of cloud computing, we can clearly see the development path and applications of biometric technology.

Smart Home users tend to question the safety of everyone biometrics program?

Helium Krypton believe that relying on the Internet development environment, end-user focus to meet the needs of small scenes, constantly optimize the smart home application experience while effectively enhance the security level of smart home scenario, biometric technology will be able to help the field of intelligent home made more rapid development.
