-- Constant-time comparisons for template matching (timing attack resistance)
-- Memory locking prevents swapping sensitive data

-## Step 5: What to Expect
+## Step 5: ONNX Model Setup (For Real Face Recognition)
-### With Placeholder Algorithms
+For accurate face recognition, you need ONNX models:
-**Face Detection:**
-- Very basic - just checks image brightness/contrast
-- Assumes face is centered if image has "reasonable" contrast
-- **Not reliable** - may detect faces where there aren't any, or miss real faces
+### 5.1 Check System Requirements
-**Face Recognition:**
-- Uses image statistics (mean, variance, histogram)
-- **Cannot reliably distinguish between different people**
-- May authenticate the wrong person
-- May reject the correct person
+ONNX support requires **glibc 2.38+**:
+- Ubuntu 24.04 or later
+- Fedora 39 or later
+- Arch Linux (rolling release)
-**Anti-Spoofing:**
-- Framework is implemented
-- But depends on accurate face detection (which we don't have)
-- **Will not effectively prevent photo/video attacks**
+```bash
+# Check your glibc version
+ldd --version
+```
-### Expected Behavior
+### 5.2 Download Models
-✅ **Will work:**
-- Camera enumeration
-- Frame capture
-- Template storage/retrieval
-- CLI commands
-- Daemon communication
-- Basic workflow
+See [models/README.md](models/README.md) for model download instructions.
-❌ **Will NOT work reliably:**
-- Actual face recognition
-- Accurate authentication
-- Spoofing prevention

+- Camera capture and IR control
+- Anti-spoofing framework
+- Template encryption (AES-256-GCM)
