<title>Device and print compatibility</title>

||||
Moving off generic conceptual ideas and onto libfprint-specific
|
||||
implementation details, here are some introductory notes regarding how
|
||||
libfprint copes with compatibility of fingerprints.
|
||||
</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>
|
||||
libfprint deals with a whole variety of different fingerprint readers and
|
||||
the design includes considerations of compatibility and interoperability
|
||||
between multiple devices. Your application should also be prepared to
|
||||
work with more than one type of fingerprint reader and should consider that
|
||||
enrolled fingerprint X may not be compatible with the device the user has
|
||||
plugged in today.
|
||||
</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>
|
||||
libfprint implements the principle that fingerprints from different devices
|
||||
are not necessarily compatible. For example, different devices may see
|
||||
significantly different areas of fingerprint surface, and comparing images
|
||||
between the devices would be unreliable. Also, devices can stretch and
|
||||
distort images in different ways.
|
||||
</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>
|
||||
libfprint also implements the principle that in some cases, fingerprints
|
||||
<emphasis>are</emphasis> compatible between different devices. If you go and buy two
|
||||
identical fingerprint readers, it seems logical that you should be able
|
||||
to enroll on one and verify on another without problems.
|
||||
</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>
|
||||
libfprint takes a fairly simplistic approach to these issues. Internally,
|
||||
fingerprint hardware is driven by individual drivers. libfprint enforces
|
||||
that a fingerprint that came from a device backed by driver X is never
|
||||
compared to a fingerprint that came from a device backed by driver Y.
|
||||
</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>
|
||||
Additionally, libfprint is designed for the situation where a single driver
|
||||
may support a range of devices which differ in imaging or scanning
|
||||
properties. For example, a driver may support two ranges of devices which
|
||||
even though are programmed over the same interface, one device sees
|
||||
substantially less of the finger flesh, therefore images from the two
|
||||
device types should be incompatible despite being from the same driver. To
|
||||
implement this, each driver assigns a <emphasis>device type</emphasis> to each device
|
||||
that it detects based on its imaging characteristics. libfprint ensures that
|
||||
two prints being compared have the same device type.
|
||||
</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>
|
||||
In summary, libfprint represents fingerprints in several internal structures
|
||||
and each representation will offer you a way of determining the
|
||||
\ref driver_id "driver ID" and \ref devtype "devtype" of the print in
|
||||
question. Prints are only compatible if the driver ID <emphasis role="strong">and</emphasis> devtypes
|
||||
match. libfprint does offer you some "is this print compatible?" helper
|
||||
functions, so you don't have to worry about these details too much.
|
||||

|
||||
<refsect2 id="driver_id">
|
||||
<title>Driver IDs</title>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>
|
||||
Each driver is assigned a unique ID by the project maintainer. These
|
||||
assignments are
|
||||
<ulink href="http://www.reactivated.net/fprint/Driver_ID_assignments">
|
||||
documented on the wiki</ulink> and will never change.
|
||||
</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>
|
||||
The only reason you may be interested in retrieving the driver ID for a
|
||||
driver is for the purpose of checking if some print data is compatible
|
||||
with a device. libfprint uses the driver ID as one way of checking that
|
||||
the print you are trying to verify is compatible with the device in
|
||||
question - it ensures that enrollment data from one driver is never fed to
|
||||
another. Note that libfprint does provide you with helper functions to
|
||||
determine whether a print is compatible with a device, so under most
|
||||
circumstances, you don't have to worry about driver IDs at all.

|
||||
<refsect2 id="device-types">
|
||||
<title>Device types</title>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>
|
||||
Internally, the \ref drv "driver" behind a device assigns a 32-bit
|
||||
<emphasis>devtype</emphasis> identifier to the device. This cannot be used as a unique
|
||||
ID for a specific device as many devices under the same range may share
|
||||
the same devtype. The devtype may even be 0 in all cases.
|
||||
</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>
|
||||
The only reason you may be interested in retrieving the devtype for a
|
||||
device is for the purpose of checking if some print data is compatible
|
||||
with a device. libfprint uses the devtype as one way of checking that the
|
||||
print you are verifying is compatible with the device in question - the
|
||||
devtypes must be equal. This effectively allows drivers to support more
|
||||
than one type of device where the data from each one is not compatible with
|
||||
the other. Note that libfprint does provide you with helper functions to
|
||||
determine whether a print is compatible with a device, so under most
|
||||
circumstances, you don't have to worry about devtypes at all.

libfprint is an open source library to provide access to fingerprint

scanning devices. For more info, see the

This documentation is aimed at application developers who wish to integrate
|
||||
fingerprint-related functionality into their software. libfprint has been
|
||||
designed so that you only have to do this once - by integrating your
|
||||
software with libfprint, you'll be supporting all the fingerprint readers
|
||||
that we have got our hands on. As such, the API is rather general (and
|
||||
therefore hopefully easy to comprehend!), and does its best to hide the
|
||||
technical details that required to operate the hardware.

|

Before you dive into the API, it's worth introducing a couple of concepts.
|
||||
</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>
|
||||
The process of enrolling a finger is where you effectively scan your
|
||||
finger for the purposes of teaching the system what your finger looks like.
|
||||
This means that you scan your fingerprint, then the system processes it and
|
||||
stores some data about your fingerprint to refer to later.
|
||||
</para>
|
||||
</refsect2>
|
||||
|
||||
<refsect2 id="verification">
|
||||
<title>Verification</title>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>
|
||||
Verification is what most people think of when they think about fingerprint
|
||||
scanning. The process of verification is effectively performing a fresh
|
||||
fingerprint scan, and then comparing that scan to a finger that was
|
||||
previously enrolled.
|
||||
</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>
|
||||
As an example scenario, verification can be used to implement what people
|
||||
would picture as fingerprint login (i.e. fingerprint replaces password).
|
||||
For example:
|
||||
</para>
|
||||
<itemizedlist mark='dot'>
|
||||
<listitem>
|
||||
I enroll my fingerprint through some software that trusts I am who I say
|
||||
I am. This is a prerequisite before I can perform fingerprint-based
|
||||
login for my account.
|
||||
</listitem>
|
||||
<listitem>
|
||||
Some time later, I want to login to my computer. I enter my username,
|
||||
but instead of prompting me for a password, it asks me to scan my finger.
|
||||
I scan my finger.
|
||||
</listitem>
|
||||
<listitem>
|
||||
The system compares the finger I just scanned to the one that was
|
||||
enrolled earlier. If the system decides that the fingerprints match,
|
||||
I am successfully logged in. Otherwise, the system informs me that I am
|
||||
not authorised to login as that user.
|
||||
</listitem>
|
||||
</itemizedlist>
|
||||
</refsect2>
|
||||
|
||||
<refsect2 id="identification">
|
||||
<title>Identification</title>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>
|
||||
Identification is the process of comparing a freshly scanned fingerprint
|
||||
to a <emphasis>collection</emphasis> of previously enrolled fingerprints. For example,
|
||||
imagine there are 100 people in an organisation, and they all have enrolled
|
||||
their fingerprints. One user walks up to a fingerprint scanner and scans
|
||||
their finger. With <emphasis>no other knowledge</emphasis> of who that user might be,
|
||||
the system examines their fingerprint, looks in the database, and determines
|
||||
that the user is user number #61.
|
||||
</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>
|
||||
In other words, verification might be seen as a one-to-one fingerprint
|
||||
comparison where you know the identity of the user that you wish to
|
||||
authenticate, whereas identification is a one-to-many comparison where you
|
||||
do not know the identity of the user that you wish to authenticate.
