# PIN Authentication ## Overview ### Function Personal Identification Number (PIN) authentication provides user authentication capabilities in identity authentication scenarios, such as device unlocking, payment, and app logins. After a user registers a PIN, the PIN authentication (Pin_auth) module unlocks the device only when the correct PIN is entered. The figure below shows the architecture of PIN authentication. The Pin_auth driver is developed based on the Hardware Driver Foundation (HDF). The Pin_auth driver model shields hardware differences and provides stable PIN authentication capabilities for the user User_auth framework (User_auth) and PIN authentication system ability (SA). The PIN authentication capabilities include obtaining the PIN authentication executor list, executor information, and anti-brute force information of the specified template, comparing the template ID list of the executor and that of User_auth, enrolling or deleting PINs, and performing PIN authentication. **Figure 1** PIN authentication architecture ![image](figures/pin_auth_architecture.png "PIN authentication architecture") ### Basic Concepts The identity authentication consists of User_auth and basic authentication services (including PIN authentication and facial recognition). It supports basic functions such as setting and deleting user credentials and performing authentication. - Executor The executor collects, processes, stores, and compares data for authentication. Each authentication service provides the executor capabilities, which are scheduled by User_auth to implement basic capabilities. - Executor security level Security level required for the execution environment of an executor. - Executor role - Executor: independently completes the entire process of credential registration and identity authentication. The executor can collect, process, store, and compare data to complete the authentication. - Collector: only collects data during user authentication. It needs to work with the authenticator to complete user authentication. - Authenticator: only processes data, obtains the stored credential template, and compares it with the authentication information generated. - Executor type The authentication algorithm varies depending on the authentication mode and device used. Different executor types are defined based on the supported algorithm type or the device in use. - User_auth public key & executor public key To ensure user data security and authentication result accuracy, measures must be taken to protect the integrity of the key information exchanged between User_auth and basic authentication services. Public keys must be exchanged when the executor provided by a basic authentication service interworks with User_auth. - The executor uses the User_auth public key to verify scheduling instructions. - User_auth uses the executor public key to verify the authentication result accuracy and the integrity of the information exchanged with the executor. - PIN authentication credential template Authentication credentials are generated and stored by the authentication service when users set authentication credentials. Each template has an ID to index a set of template information files. The template information needs to be compared with the authentication data generated during authentication to complete identity authentication. - Data verification by the executor User_auth manages the mappings between user identities and credential IDs in a unified manner. When connecting to User_auth, the executor obtains the template ID list from User_auth and updates its template ID list based on the template ID list obtained. ### Working Principles The Pin_auth driver provides basic PIN authentication capabilities for the upper-layer User_auth and Pin_auth service to ensure successful PIN authentication. You can develop drivers to call Hardware Device Interface (HDI) APIs based on the HDF and the chip you use. **Figure 2** Pin_auth service and Pin_auth driver APIs ![image](figures/pin_auth_service_and_driver_interaction.png "interaction between the pin_auth service and driver") ### Constraints PIN authentication must be implemented in a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE), and the confidential information, such as PINs and credentials, must be stored in a TEE. ## Development Guidelines ### When to Use The Pin_auth driver provides basic PIN authentication capabilities for the User_auth and Pin_auth service to ensure successful PIN authentication. ### Available APIs **Table 1** Available APIs | API | Description | | ------------------------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------ | | GetExecutorList(std::vector>& executorList) | Obtains the executor list. | | GetExecutorInfo(ExecutorInfo& info) | Obtains information about an executor. | | GetTemplateInfo(uint64_t templateId, TemplateInfo& info) | Obtains information about a template. | | OnRegisterFinish(const std::vector& templateIdList,

For details about the code, see [pin_auth_interface_driver.cpp](https://gitee.com/openharmony/drivers_peripheral/blob/master/pin_auth/hdi_service/service/src/pin_auth_interface_driver.cpp). ```c++ // Create the PinAuthInterfaceService object by using the custom HdfPinAuthInterfaceHost object, which consists of the IoService object and HDI service. struct HdfPinAuthInterfaceHost { struct IDeviceIoService ioService; OHOS::sptr stub; }; // Enable the IPC service to call the response API. static int32_t PinAuthInterfaceDriverDispatch(struct HdfDeviceIoClient *client, int cmdId, struct HdfSBuf *data, struct HdfSBuf *reply) { IAM_LOGI("start"); auto *hdfPinAuthInterfaceHost = CONTAINER_OF(client->device->service, struct HdfPinAuthInterfaceHost, ioService); OHOS::MessageParcel *dataParcel = nullptr; OHOS::MessageParcel *replyParcel = nullptr; OHOS::MessageOption option; if (SbufToParcel(data, &dataParcel) != HDF_SUCCESS) { IAM_LOGE("%{public}s:invalid data sbuf object to dispatch", __func__); return HDF_ERR_INVALID_PARAM; } if (SbufToParcel(reply, &replyParcel) != HDF_SUCCESS) { IAM_LOGE("%{public}s:invalid reply sbuf object to dispatch", __func__); return HDF_ERR_INVALID_PARAM; } return hdfPinAuthInterfaceHost->stub->SendRequest(cmdId, *dataParcel, *replyParcel, option); } // Initialize the HdfPinAuthInterfaceDriver object. static int HdfPinAuthInterfaceDriverInit(struct HdfDeviceObject *deviceObject) { IAM_LOGI("start"); std::shared_ptr pinHdi = OHOS::UserIAM::Common::MakeShared(); constexpr uint32_t SUCCESS = 0; if (pinHdi == nullptr || pinHdi->Init() != SUCCESS) { IAM_LOGE("PIN HAL initialization failed"); return HDF_FAILURE; } return HDF_SUCCESS; } // Bind the service provided by the Pin_auth driver to the HDF. static int HdfPinAuthInterfaceDriverBind(struct HdfDeviceObject *deviceObject) { IAM_LOGI("start"); auto *hdfPinAuthInterfaceHost = new (std::nothrow) HdfPinAuthInterfaceHost; if (hdfPinAuthInterfaceHost == nullptr) { IAM_LOGE("%{public}s: Failed to create HdfPinAuthInterfaceHost object", __func__); return HDF_FAILURE; } hdfPinAuthInterfaceHost->ioService.Dispatch = PinAuthInterfaceDriverDispatch; hdfPinAuthInterfaceHost->ioService.Open = NULL; hdfPinAuthInterfaceHost->ioService.Release = NULL; auto serviceImpl = IPinAuthInterface::Get(true); if (serviceImpl == nullptr) { IAM_LOGE("%{public}s: Failed to implement the service", __func__); return HDF_FAILURE; } hdfPinAuthInterfaceHost->stub = OHOS::HDI::ObjectCollector::GetInstance().GetOrNewObject(serviceImpl, IPinAuthInterface::GetDescriptor()); if (hdfPinAuthInterfaceHost->stub == nullptr) { IAM_LOGE("%{public}s: Failed to get stub object", __func__); return HDF_FAILURE; } deviceObject->service = &hdfPinAuthInterfaceHost->ioService; IAM_LOGI("success"); return HDF_SUCCESS; } // Release resources of the Pin_auth driver. static void HdfPinAuthInterfaceDriverRelease(struct HdfDeviceObject *deviceObject) { IAM_LOGI("start"); auto *hdfPinAuthInterfaceHost = CONTAINER_OF(deviceObject->service, struct HdfPinAuthInterfaceHost, ioService); delete hdfPinAuthInterfaceHost; IAM_LOGI("success"); } static struct HdfDriverEntry g_pinAuthInterfaceDriverEntry = { .moduleVersion = 1, .moduleName = "pinauth_interface_service", .Bind = HdfPinAuthInterfaceDriverBind, .Init = HdfPinAuthInterfaceDriverInit, .Release = HdfPinAuthInterfaceDriverRelease, }; // Call HDF_INIT to register the driver entry with the HDF. When loading the driver, the HDF calls the Bind() function and then the Init() function. If the Init() function fails to be called, the HDF will call Release() to release driver resources and exit the driver model. HDF_INIT(g_pinauthinterfaceDriverEntry); ``` 1. Obtain the executor list.

Set a PIN. Touch **Settings** > **Biometrics & passwords** > **Password**, and enter your password. 2. Verify PIN authentication. 1) Press the power button to lock the screen. 2) Press the power button again, and enter an incorrect password for five consecutive times. The device will be locked for 60 seconds. 3) Enter the correct password. The screen is unlocked. 3. Disable PIN authentication. 1) Touch **Settings** > **Biometrics & passwords** > **Password**. 2) Touch **Disable lock screen password** and **Disable**. 4. Change the PIN. 1) Touch **Settings** > **Biometrics & passwords** > **Password**. 2) Touch **Change screen lock password** and set the new password.
