The “digital information service kiosk” is like an information gathering point. It involves the inquiry of various information such as government affairs information, public service information, and tourist guide information. High-tech equipment such as ATMs, touch-type self-service terminals and LED display screens was placed. Through this device, citizens can directly carry out financial services, public fee payment, self-service purchases, public information acquisition, etc. The digital nature of the information kiosk, the contemporary design, and the multi-functional service system makes itself a new landscape standing on the streets of the city.
Faced with the development trend of information kiosks, many people will express concerns about information security issues. Because in the kiosk, you can have instant self-service access to access your personal information, including financial information. The problem of safe access to information kiosks is the biggest hidden danger. In order to prevent the leakage of user information from being stolen by others. The development trend of information kiosks should be to strengthen security protection measures.
In the early development of information kiosks, people used magnetic stripe cards to identify personal information to users and magnetic stripe cards were easy to carry and use. However, the magnetic stripe card is easy to demagnetize and be easily copied by others, resulting in the loss of user information. With the development and application of new technologies. In the context of the industrial environment, chip and PIN technology were produced, and then people turned to RFID technology. RFID technology, also known as electronic tags and radio frequency identification, is a communication technology that can identify specific targets and read and write related data through radio signals without establishing mechanical or optical contact between the identification system and the specific targets.
RFID access control tags restrict access to only pre-approved personnel. The safety factor of the kiosk has been significantly improved. And the information storage space of this technology is particularly large and easier to manage. RFID technology is different from traditional password or PIN technology and it can simplify the user’s access to contactless access. Compared with traditional methods, RFID technology is more secure. This is similar to the case of using smartphones to verify personal information in our daily lives. And RFID technology can be used together with encryption technology. Through encryption, RFID technology can only use the key to decrypt the format to send data. It can prevent hackers from intercepting and reading information. It can also prevent others from cloning information.
At the same time, RFID technology can be combined with biometric technology, users will be notified when their information is leaked, and personal information will be retrieved through personal identity verification at the same time. This technology is multi-factor in identity verification, such as the need to recognize fingerprint and face at the same time. And this is something that hackers cannot have. And in the authentication process of biometric technology, users can control their personal information through encrypted information technology. Although this technology seems reliable, there are some problems. Security risks are relatively small compared to traditional technologies. It will need improvement in the future.
