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.

```
## Platform-Specific Code
@@ -76,10 +107,63 @@ Camera code uses conditional compilation:
- `#[cfg(target_os = "linux")]` - Real V4L2 implementation
- `#[cfg(not(target_os = "linux"))]` - Mock implementation for development
ONNX code is feature-gated:
- `#[cfg(feature = "onnx")]` - Real ONNX models
- `#[cfg(not(feature = "onnx"))]` - Placeholder algorithms
## Security Considerations
- `SecureEmbedding` and `SecureBytes` auto-zeroize on drop
- Use `zeroize` crate for sensitive data
- Constant-time comparisons for template matching (timing attack resistance)
- Memory locking prevents swapping sensitive data
- Software TPM fallback is NOT cryptographically secure (dev only)
- **Encryption**: AES-256-GCM with PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA256 (600k iterations)
- **Secure memory**: `SecureEmbedding` and `SecureBytes` auto-zeroize on drop
- **Constant-time**: Template comparisons use `subtle` crate (timing attack resistant)
- **Memory locking**: Sensitive data locked in RAM (no swap)
- **IPC security**: Peer credentials (SO_PEERCRED), rate limiting, authorization
- **Software TPM fallback**: Cryptographically strong but not hardware-bound
## Key Dependencies
| Dependency | Purpose |
|------------|---------|
| `zbus` | D-Bus integration |
| `tokio` | Async runtime |
| `v4l` | V4L2 camera interface |
| `aes-gcm` | Template encryption |
| `subtle` | Constant-time operations |
| `zeroize` | Secure memory wiping |
| `ort` | ONNX Runtime (optional) |
| `tss-esapi` | TPM2 support (optional) |
## Testing
```bash
# Quick test (default packages only)
cargo test
# All packages including integration tests
cargo test --workspace
# Specific test file
cargo test --test phase3_security_test
# With output
cargo test -- --nocapture

## Common Tasks
### Adding a new D-Bus method
1. Add method to `dbus_service.rs` in the `LinuxHelloManager` impl
2. Update D-Bus client in `linux-hello-settings/src/dbus_client.rs`
3. Update KDE client in `kde-settings/src/dbus_client.cpp`
### Adding a new CLI command
1. Add subcommand to `linux-hello-cli/src/main.rs`
2. Implement handler using daemon's IPC client
### Adding a new anti-spoofing check
1. Add check method to `anti_spoofing.rs`
2. Add config option to `Config` in `linux-hello-common/src/config.rs`
3. Add test in `tests/integration/phase3_security_test.rs`

## 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

cargo build --release --features onnx

### ONNX Linking Errors
If you see errors about `__isoc23_strtoll`:
- Your system has glibc < 2.38
- Use the default build (without `--features onnx`)
- Or upgrade to Ubuntu 24.04+ / Fedora 39+

## Next Steps
Once you've tested the basic functionality:
1. **Wait for ONNX models** - Real face recognition requires ML models
2. **Get TPM2 hardware** - For secure template storage
3. **Security audit** - Before production use
4. **Contribute** - Help improve the project!

## 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.
