Linux Hello is a Windows Hello-equivalent biometric authentication system for Linux. It provides secure facial authentication using IR cameras and TPM2-backed credential storage. Linux Hello is a Windows Hello-equivalent biometric authentication system for Linux. It provides secure facial authentication using IR cameras and TPM2-backed credential storage.
**Current Status**: Phase 3 (Security Hardening) complete. Uses placeholder algorithms for face detection/embedding until ONNX model integration (waiting for `ort` 2.0 stable). **Current Status**: All phases complete (1-5). Feature complete with ONNX model support.

## 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:** ### 5.1 Check System Requirements
- 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
**Face Recognition:** ONNX support requires **glibc 2.38+**:
- Uses image statistics (mean, variance, histogram) - Ubuntu 24.04 or later
- **Cannot reliably distinguish between different people** - Fedora 39 or later
- May authenticate the wrong person - Arch Linux (rolling release)
- May reject the correct person
**Anti-Spoofing:** ```bash
- Framework is implemented # Check your glibc version
- But depends on accurate face detection (which we don't have) ldd --version
- **Will not effectively prevent photo/video attacks** ```
### Expected Behavior ### 5.2 Download Models
✅ **Will work:** See [models/README.md](models/README.md) for model download instructions.
- Camera enumeration
- Frame capture
- Template storage/retrieval
- CLI commands
- Daemon communication
- Basic workflow
❌ **Will NOT work reliably:** ### 5.3 Build with ONNX
- Actual face recognition
- Accurate authentication ```bash
- Spoofing prevention cargo build --release --features onnx
```

2. **Get TPM2 hardware** - For secure template storage
3. **Security audit** - Before production use

**Remember:** This is development software with placeholder algorithms. It demonstrates the architecture but is NOT suitable for production use until ONNX models are integrated. ## What Works With/Without ONNX
### Default Build (No ONNX)
- All infrastructure and security features
- Camera capture and IR control
- Anti-spoofing framework
- Template encryption (AES-256-GCM)
- IPC and D-Bus communication
- **Placeholder** face detection/embedding (not accurate)
### With ONNX Models
- Accurate face detection (RetinaFace)
- Accurate face embedding (MobileFaceNet)
- Production-ready face recognition
- Proper anti-spoofing based on real face data
---
**The system is feature-complete.** For production use, build with `--features onnx` on a compatible system and download the ONNX models.
