Verification experiment whether face recognition login of Windows 10 can distinguish identical twins

The face recognition login function ' Windows Hello ' installed in Windows 10 is a system that uses biometric authentication in which the camera of the PC recognizes the user's face and fingerprint and automatically logs in. An experiment was conducted using the mechanism of 'Can identical twins log in to each other's accounts and break through the security of face recognition?'

The notebook PC 'Lenovo Thinkpad Yoga 14' equipped with Intel's 3D camera technology

RealSense at the top of the display was used for this experiment. In addition to regular lenses, this camera is equipped with an infrared lens and a 3D lens, which analyzes the pictures taken, detects heat, and detects depth to detect the person in the camera. It also has a function that automatically locks the terminal when you move away from the front of the notebook PC.

Six pairs of identical twins living in Australia participated in the experiment.

In Australia, there is an institution called Australian Twin Registry (ATR) that specializes in twin research, and 40,000 pairs of twins in the country are registering information for research development in the medical field. .. According to an ATR study, one in 40 Australians is twins, of which one-quarter to one-third are singing twins, accounting for 1% of the population. that's right.

The content of the experiment is that 'one of the twins registers his face on the PC and the other tries to log in.' So, when the experiment was actually conducted, Abby and Libby's Sukkel sisters who participated at the youngest age of 8 failed to log in because their faces were accurately identified by Windows Hello. Hairstyles are similar, so humans can't tell.

Henry and George's Blood brothers tried to log in to Henry's account, but failed.

Natalie and Isabelle's Brown sisters created two Windows accounts and registered their face photos, but they both couldn't log in to each other's accounts.

Annabelle and Miriam's Jeffrey sisters tried to log in to Annabelle's account but failed. However, the Jeffrey sisters were impressed by the convenience of Windows 10's facial recognition technology, and after returning home, they registered their faces in their Windows account at home so that they could both log in.

Isabelle and Natasha's Secanski sisters also failed to log in.

Nicole and Sharon's Tay sisters also failed to log in, but they seemed to be on good terms, saying, 'You can log in because you know each other's password without face recognition.'

As a result of the experiment, it was found that all 6 pairs of twins could not log in to each other's accounts. Experimental results show that Intel's camera performance and Microsoft's facial recognition technology really protect Windows 10 account information.
