Not Windows Hello has nothing to do with Firefox Hello. For years, biometric certification has been intertwined with science fiction films. But biometric technology is next to us thanks to the Touch ID fingerprint sensors used in the latest models of iPhones and iPads.
Όταν κυκλοφορήσουν τα Windows 10 αυτό το φθινόπωρο, η Microsoft σχεδιάζει να χρησιμοποιήσει επίσης τη βιομετρική τεχνολογία. Το νέο λειτουργικό σύστημα θα υποστηρίζει τη βιομετρική πιστοποίηση, και όπως αναφέρει η εταιρεία, “χρησιμοποιώντας το πρόσωπό σας, την ίριδα, ή τα fingerprints your fingerprints will be able to unlock your devices ... with a technology that is much more secure than traditional passwords.”
Today at the congress WinHEC in China, Microsoft executives showed off a new feature, called Windows Hello. It sounds like Microsoft's response to the Touch ID and is a biometric certification technology that uses a fingerprint reader or an illuminated infrared sensor or other biometric sensors to provide instant access to a device running Windows 10.
But this particular platform has bigger ambitions. It is based on a new API with the familiar code name “Passport”. The Passport framework will allow IT system administrators, developers, and web site admins to provide a more secure alternative to passwords. During the control process identity, there will be no password to be sent over the wire or through remote servers, the two most common routes for security breaches.
Κατά πάσα πιθανότητα, θα είναι το Next Generation χαρακτηριστικό διαπιστευτηρίων που υπάρχει ενσωματωμένο στα previews των Windows 10 από τον περασμένο Οκτώβριο, αλλά δεν είναι ακόμα διαθέσιμο για χρήση. Το βίντεο της Microsoft προσφέρει μερικές πρόσθετες λεπτομέρειες.

Microsoft reports that the new feature Windows Hello will offer "business-grade security" and will be suitable for use by government agencies and companies in the defense, economy, healthcare, and other controlled industries.
The new "Passport" APIs will be able to work seamlessly with enterprise Azure Active Directory services, and as Microsoft says, it will also work with services that support FIDO.
To avoid common tampering techniques, Microsoft argues that new technology Windows Hello will use “a combination of special materials and software to accurately identify and verify the owner of a photograph or someone trying to imitate him. The cameras will use infrared technology to identify the face or iris and will be able to identify you in all lighting conditions. ”
Of course, this feature also requires proper hardware support. Microsoft, however, says the new feature will be available for new Windows 10 devices when the operating system is released later this fall. The company states that, “OEM systems that incorporate Intel's RealSense 3D camera (F200) will support Windows Hello face and iris scanning, for automatic device unlocking as well as for automatic connection in Windows without the need for a PIN.”
In addition, according to ZDNet, devices that already have a fingerprint reader will be able to use Windows Hello.
