Official announcement of biometric technology Windows Hello

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.Windows Hello

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 δακτυλικά σας αποτυπώματα θα μπορείτε ξεκλειδώνετε τις συσκευές σας … με μια τεχνολογία που είναι πολύ ασφαλέστερη από τους παραδοσιακούς of access.”

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 θα επιτρέπει στους διαχειριστές συστημάτων πληροφορικής, ανάπτυξης, και admins ιστοσελίδων να παρέχουν μια πιο ασφαλή εναλλακτική λύση για τους κωδικούς πρόσβασης. Κατά τη διαδικασία ελέγχου ταυτότητας, δεν θα υπάρχει κωδικός πρόσβασης που θα πρέπει να αποσταλεί ενσύρματα ή μέσω απομακρυσμένων διακομιστών, τις δύο πιο κοινούς οδούς για παραβιάσεις ασφάλειας.

Most likely, it will be the Next Generation credentials feature that has been built into Windows 10 previews since last October, but is not yet for use. Microsoft's video offers some additional details.

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 in order to accurately identify and verify the owner from a photo or someone trying to imitate him. The cameras will use infrared technology for face or iris recognition and will be able to recognize you in all lighting conditions.”

Of course, this feature also requires the support of appropriate hardware. Microsoft says it 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 RealSense 3D camera (F200) will support Windows Hello face and iris scanning, for automatic unlocking of the device but also for automatic connection to 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.
