Security Protection of Biometric Technology in All-in-One Computers Touch Screens: A Silent Technological Revolution

In the central control room of a smart park in Shenzhen, a 15.6-inch all-in-one computers touch screen is displaying real-time biometric recognition data from 32 access control points. When an employee approaches the gate, the iris recognition module on the screen completes the comparison within 0.3 seconds while simultaneously triggering the edge computing unit to conduct a risk assessment of the behavioral trajectory. This scenario reveals a trend: biometric technology is evolving from a single authentication tool into a core node of the IoT security system, with the all-in-one screen, as its physical carrier, becoming a "digital fortress" contested by both attackers and defenders.

1. Technological Leap: From Authentication Tool to Security Hub

Traditional biometric systems mostly adopt a "front-end collection - cloud comparison" architecture, which exposes fatal flaws in the IoT era. A case involving a multinational financial institution showed that 370,000 pieces of biometric data were intercepted during transmission due to the deployment of 2,000 fingerprint attendance machines using plaintext transmission. This incident gave rise to a new generation of security architecture—integrating functions such as biometric template storage, liveness detection, and risk analysis onto the edge side of the all-in-one screen.

The USR-EG628 IoT controller demonstrates unique advantages in this field. Its built-in WukongEdge edge computing platform achieves three major breakthroughs:

Dynamic Template Updating: Through federated learning technology, feature template iteration is completed locally, avoiding the transmission of raw data.
Multimodal Fusion: Supports composite authentication combining fingerprints, palm prints, and behavioral features, reducing the false acceptance rate to one in a billion.
Real-Time Risk Assessment: Constructs a dynamic trust scoring system by combining 120 dimensional parameters such as device fingerprints and network behavior.

In the security system of the Hangzhou Asian Games, 3,000 all-in-one screens equipped with this technology successfully intercepted 17 fake face attacks. By analyzing 23 biometric parameters such as skin micro-expressions and eyeball movement trajectories, the system constructed a "digital portrait" of attackers, improving the accuracy of liveness detection to 99.97%.

2. Offensive and Defensive Game: Solving Three Major Security Paradoxes

2.1 The Eternal Contradiction Between Convenience and Security

The lesson from an automobile manufacturer is quite representative: its voiceprint startup system was cracked by simulated voices, leading to 3% of vehicles being compromised due to an excessively low recognition threshold. The new-generation solution adopts a "progressive authentication" strategy:

Daily Unlocking: Single-factor authentication (e.g., fingerprint).
Sensitive Operations: Two-factor authentication (fingerprint + behavioral features).
Abnormal Scenarios: Three-factor authentication (fingerprint + iris + geographic location).

The PLC control capability of the USR-EG628 plays a crucial role here. When an abnormal login is detected, the system can automatically cut off the vehicle's power system while triggering location tracking. This "software-hardware collaboration" protection mechanism reduces the risk of car theft by 82%.

2.2 The Balancing Dilemma Between Data Privacy and Utilization

After the implementation of the EU's GDPR, a smart building project was fined heavily for storing raw facial images. This spurred breakthroughs in "privacy computing" technology:

Feature Vectorization: Converts biometric images into irreversible mathematical features.
Homomorphic Encryption: Performs comparison operations directly on encrypted data.
Trusted Execution Environment: Constructs a secure computing domain through TEE chips.

In a smart park in Qianhai, Shenzhen, the edge AI module of the USR-EG628 enables "data availability without visibility." Its built-in Chinese national cryptographic SM9 algorithm achieves a biometric encryption speed of 1,200 times per second, meeting the demands of high-concurrency scenarios. More critically, all decryption operations are completed within a hardware-level security zone, eliminating the risk of memory theft.

2.3 The Conflicting Demands Between Standardization and Customization

The complexity of industrial scenarios poses stringent challenges to biometric recognition:

• The high-temperature environment in a steel plant results in a 40% failure rate of traditional fingerprint devices.
• The humid environment in food processing workshops renders capacitive sensors ineffective after just three months.
• The dusty environment in coal mine shafts reduces the average lifespan of optical cameras to less than two weeks.

The modular design of the USR-EG628 provides innovative solutions:

Plug-and-Play Sensors: Supports replacement with high-temperature-resistant (120°C) piezoelectric fingerprint modules.
Adaptive Algorithm Library: Built-in with 37 industrial scenario models that can automatically adjust recognition parameters.
Customizable Protection Level: Sealed designs ranging from IP20 to IP67 to meet different environmental requirements.

In a chemical enterprise in Shandong, the upgraded system achieved zero failures throughout the year. The corrosion-resistant coating technology used extended the device's lifespan to over five years in strongly acidic environments.

3. Future Evolution: Building a Biometric Trust Chain

3.1 Preemptive Defense in the Quantum Security Era

With the development of quantum computing, existing encryption systems face disruption risks. A simulation by a security lab showed that the Shor algorithm could crack a 2048-bit RSA key within eight hours. In response, the USR-EG628 has integrated anti-quantum encryption modules:

• NTRU encryption algorithm based on lattice theory.
• Dynamic key update mechanism (rotating every 15 minutes).
• Quantum random number generator (QRNG).

These technologies endow the system with "forward security" characteristics, ensuring that transmitted data remains secure even if quantum computers emerge in the future.

3.2 Fusion of Digital Twins and Biometrics

In a German automobile factory, engineers have achieved real-time mapping between "digital twins" and physical devices. When an operator wears AR glasses, the system confirms their identity through iris recognition and automatically loads their digital twin model. This technology enables:

• Permission management precision at the device level (rather than the traditional system level).
• Operational records traceable to specific finger movements.
• A 400% improvement in safety training efficiency.

The 3D modeling capability of the USR-EG628 plays a key role here. By collecting point cloud data through binocular cameras, it can construct operational trajectory models with millimeter-level precision, providing irrefutable evidence for security audits.

3.3 Breakthroughs in Neuromorphic Computing

Intel's newly released Loihi 2 chip, which simulates the structure of human brain neurons, reduces biometric recognition energy consumption by 90%. This technological path aligns highly with the edge computing architecture of the USR-EG628:

• Event-driven processing: Activated only when biometric features are detected.
• Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs): Closer to biological visual processing mechanisms.
• Heterogeneous computing architecture: Collaborative work between CPU and NPU.

In a smart healthcare pilot, an all-in-one screen equipped with a neuromorphic chip achieved:

• 99.2% accuracy in electrocardiogram recognition.
• Power consumption reduced to 1/15th of traditional systems.
• Real-time analysis latency of less than 5ms.

4. Practical Framework for Security Protection

Building a reliable biometric security system requires following a "pyramid model":

Taking the application of the USR-EG628 in a smart city project as an example:

• Deployment Phase: Generates a unique ID for each all-in-one screen through device fingerprinting technology.
• Operation Phase: Monitors over 200 security indicators in real time and triggers automatic alerts when thresholds are exceeded.
• Maintenance Phase: Achieves second-level delivery of security patches through OTA upgrades.
• Retirement Phase: Ensures data cannot be recovered by physically destroying chips.

This solution improved the system's overall security score from 62 to 89 (referencing the ISO/IEC 27001 standard) while reducing operational and maintenance costs by 57%.

5. The Path to Coexistence of Security and Experience

At Terminal T3 of Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport, travelers are experiencing a new generation of biometric systems: they only need to gaze at the screen for three seconds to complete identity verification without presenting any documents. Behind this scenario lies the powerful capability of the USR-EG628 to process 1.2TB of data per second, the precise judgment of a 128-layer neural network model, and the comprehensive protection of the security system.

As biometric technology deeply integrates into the IoT ecosystem, security protection is no longer a simple stack of technologies but requires the construction of a complete system covering hardware, algorithms, protocols, and management. This silent technological revolution is redefining the trust foundation of the digital world—where security and experience are no longer mutually exclusive choices but can coexist and thrive as an ecological community.
