@Slater450413@infosec.exchange I think their design is sound, but it’s rude that they didn’t consider how it interacts with linuxes. I agree that an activity indicator, similar to how faceID is handled on apple phones, would be useful. From a security perspective, a more fail-safe design would handle the image processing inside the IR camera module and only present a binary “go/no go” sensor signal to the OS similar to how fingerprint readers work.

@Slater450413@infosec.exchange having the image processing done inside the camera module would solve the privacy issue on linux or other oddball OSes, but would probably compromise security on windowses since the firmware for these modules would be hard to maintain and to update.
