Biometric File Viewing Access With Continuous Face Authentication
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing security protection technologies using biometric recognition for electronic files lack convenience in user authentication and access control.
Innovation Solution
A file viewing system that utilizes biometric information, specifically face recognition, to compare and authenticate users before allowing or preventing access to electronic files, with features like mask patterns to restrict viewing and continuous authentication during file access.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If biometric recognition technology is used for security protection of electronic files, then security is improved, but user operation burden increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically captures biometric information (face images) and performs recognition without requiring users to manually input data or follow complex authentication procedures. The continuous authentication process runs automatically in the background, eliminating the need for users to repeatedly enter passwords or perform manual security checks, thus reducing operation burden while maintaining security.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary biometric registration and continuous authentication checks before allowing file access. By pre-configuring the biometric recognition system and automatically verifying user identity before and during file viewing, the system prepares security measures in advance rather than requiring users to reactively provide authentication information when needed.
2Loss of information
If continuous authentication is implemented during file access, then information leakage is minimized, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements continuous authentication by repeatedly capturing and verifying biometric information throughout the file access process. Instead of a single authentication check, the system continuously monitors user identity by capturing face images at regular intervals, ensuring that the authenticated user remains the one accessing the file throughout the entire viewing session, thus preventing information leakage.
Solution Approach 2:
The system provides continuous feedback by monitoring biometric information during file access and automatically responding by preventing access if the user identity changes or unauthorized access is detected. The system captures biometric data, compares it with registered information, and immediately takes action (allowing or blocking access) based on the verification result, creating a closed-loop security mechanism.
3Measurement precision
If biometric comparison is performed for each file access, then access control accuracy is improved, but processing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs biometric comparison not only at the beginning of file access but also continuously during the viewing process. By implementing excessive authentication checks (multiple comparisons rather than a single check), the system ensures high access control accuracy by verifying user identity at multiple points, preventing unauthorized access even if someone attempts to intercept or share the file.
Data Source
AI summary
Provided is a file viewing system including: a comparison unit that compares biometric information of a comparison target person with biometric information of a person associated with an electronic file; and a viewing prevention unit that performs a process for preventing viewing of the electronic file based on a result of a comparison by the comparison unit.
