Facial recognition authentication for linux

This is an experimental pet project for doing authentication in rust with facial recognition. It's not ready for production, at all.

Using it for anything else than poking around and playing with it is highly discouraged.

Building

Install dlib from your system's package manager. Archlinux users can install dlib from AUR.

Simple as cargo build --release.

Running

The daemon

Place the configuration from dbus-1 into /usr/share/dbus-1/system.d. Copy the data files from data/ somewhere accessible, like /usr/share/zdr/ Copy the daemon from target/release/zdrd somewhere, e.g. /usr/sbin/zdrd Run the daemon with a bunch of parameters:

/usr/sbin/zdrd -r 0.4 \
    --ddb /usr/share/zdr/mmod_human_face_detector.dat \
    --pdm /usr/share/zdr/shape_predictor_68_face_landmarks.dat \
    --rdb /usr/share/zdr/dlib_face_recognition_resnet_model_v1.dat \
    --camera /dev/video0 \
    --auth-dir /path/to/your/images

The PAM plugin

Copy libpam_zdr.so into /lib/security/pam_zdr.so Add a line for using the authentication plugin in any services you'd like to use zdr with, like so:

auth sufficient pam_zdr.so

Thanks

• dlib - for the wonderful library
• dlib face recognition - for the easy to use bindings for dlib
• pam-bindings - for the easy to use code and examples
• zbus - for the great API
