Fingerprint based file protection

Hi,

I am trying to implement fingerprint based fileprotection.
I need to generate a unique key for a fingerprint scan. So that I can
use that key for encryption.
In the next scan, using the key generated we can decrypt the file.

Is it possible to implement file protection using libthinkfinger ?

Happy Hacking,
Sarath

Fwd: Thinkfinger + xorg server 1.7.1 = no carriage return

Subject: Thinkfinger + xorg server 1.7.1 = no carriage return

Hi,

I hope that this project isn't as dead as the repository at sourceforge
looks like ...

I have just upgraded my gentoo based T60, where I use thinkfinger for
authentification, to xorg-server-1.7.1. 
Now I need to press enter after I swipe my finger again.

Gentoo is using 3 patches against the 3.0 tarball:

http://sources.gentoo.org/viewcvs.py/gentoo-x86/sys-auth/thinkfinger/files/0.3-carriagereturn.patch?view=markup

http://sources.gentoo.org/viewcvs.py/gentoo-x86/sys-auth/thinkfinger/files/0.3-direct_set_config_usb_hello.patch?view=markup

http://sources.gentoo.org/viewcvs.py/gentoo-x86/sys-auth/thinkfinger/files/0.3-tftoolgroup.patch?view=markup

I have also tried the plain 3.0 without any patches, but it doesn't work
either.

Thinkfinger is slow on Archlinux?

Hi,

Some time ago I have installed and configured Thinkfinger in my Archlinux system. It worked well, but it was very slow! I had to wait 5 to 10 seconds for the prompt to show, then a bit more before I could swipe my finger or write my password, and then a bit more for the password to be accepted.

So, I've downloaded the development version and I've tried to find out why it was being so slow. After some tests, I've found out that decreasing the value of USB_TIMEOUT in libthinkfinger.c improved the situation. I've written a very short post on this:

      http://www.joaoff.com/2009/06/30/making-thinkfinger-faster

According to the comments on that post, I'm not the only one who had this problem. So, I'm writing this email to let you know that this is an issue and that it seems to exist a very simple fix. (I'm sure that this fix creates problems somewhere else; maybe if I try to use an usb fingerprint reader?)

Anyway, I hope someone knows how to fix it in a better way.

Regards,
Joao

PS: thanks to the authors for writing this excellent piece of software :)

Re: Compiling thinkfinger under Windows XP using MinGW/MSYS

Hi Marco,

Thanks for the quick reply.

I skipped Cygwin since I am trying to produce a native win32 binary of TF. I was thinking that Cygwin produces non-win32 native binaries and needs the Cygwin environment to run unlike MinGW.

But, maybe it's worth a try. I'll keep the group posted on the Cygwin compile.

Best regards,

Mike

Have you tried Cygwin? Maybe TF works inside cygwin, though I'm not sure about that.

Compiling thinkfinger under Windows XP using MinGW/MSYS

Hi,

Does anybody in this lists have any luck compiling thinkfinger-0.3 under Windows XP using MinGW to produce win32 executable?

I tested the Fedora Core 8 binaries by installing it using yum and it works on my Lenovo Preferred Pro Keyboard with Finger scanner. I was hoping to use it for both Linux and Windows connecting clients in our application, but I can not get past through the test compilation issues.

I would appreciate any assistance or suggestion. Below are the steps I took and the errors I encountered:

Thanks,

Mike


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1)  Download pthreads-w32-2-8-0-release.exe and Install from pre-build.2:
        cp ./libpthreadGC2.a /mingw/lib/libpthread.a
        cp ./pthreadGC2.dll /mingw/bin/
        cp ./pthread.h /mingw/include
        cp ./sched.h /mingw/include/
        cp ./semaphore.h /mingw/include/
(2) Follow QueueUserAPCEx folder Instruction, reboot
(3) Download gtk+-bundle-2.12.11.zip and unzip it to C:\Installer\Biometric\gtk
(4) Download libusb-win32-device-bin-0.1.12.1.tar.gz and unrar it, copy corresponding
        libs, .a, .h, etc to /mingw/<folders>
(5) Update the gcc by downloading the alpha of 4.3.0 and tar xzvf gcc-xxx-xxx from /mingw overwriting my installation.

Cannot login to system

Hi,

I tried to install tf but I think it failed big time. Unfortunately I don't
have enough knowledge about Linux to fix it on my own (I am pretty new to
it). I am running Debian Lenny and installed tf from source. Having rebooted
gdm asks me for the username which I enter. Afterwards the message
"Validation failed" pops up immediately and I have to enter my username
again. I never get the chance to actually enter a password.

These are the information I can give right now:
- In /etc/pam.d/common-auth the only line is "auth required pam_unix.so"
- There is no folder /etc/thinkfinger (what is it actually called?) where
the finger prints are saved (I forgot to create finger prints).

I'd appreciate if someone could tell me how to login to my system again -
anyhow! If you need further information please let me know. I can boot into
single user modus.

Cheers,
Torsten

Outputing to console/keyboard buffer

Hello all,
 I am attempting to do some development with the tf-tool and i was 
wanting to try to output the data that is stored in a .bir file to 
either the keyboard buffer (so it can be dumped into a textfield to play 
with) or just to the console. So far im not having a lot of luck with this.
If anyone here can suggest where i should be looking i would really 
appreciate it a lot!

Thanks,
 -Ian

Using the reader as a scrolling device?

Hello!

I'm wondering if there's a possibility to use the fingerprint reader
on my Thinkpad X60s as a scrolling device. I've "googled" the subject
and it does seem possible :) But I guess I need some custom software
tough... And that's where you guys 'n' gals in this mailing list come
in?

Best regards
Simon Lundmark

thinkfinger & fprint

Hello

I am trying to find a working solution to my fingerprint reader.
Although thinkfinger looks like a mature working solution, it doesn't
work in my laptop.

On the other hand, fprint (
http://reactivated.net/fprint/wiki/Main_Page ) works fine, but it is
still practically for test purposes.
Have you ever considered of joining these two projects?
