Detailed Description

At present, along with the popularization and development of computer technology, the application of computer technology brings profound influence to the life and work of people. While users have enjoyed the convenience of computer technology advancement, the security of computers has become more and more critical.

In a prior art, a flash memory in a PC stores BIOS firmware including standard authentication information, when a user presses a power switch on the PC, that is, after the PC is powered on, a power supply in the PC supplies power to a processor on a motherboard in the PC, so that the processor reads the BIOS firmware, when an authentication information input program in the BIOS firmware is read, an authentication information input box is displayed, the user inputs authentication information in the authentication information input box, and the processor starts a computer operating system after determining that the authentication information is correct according to the standard authentication information. The above prior art has the following three disadvantages: (1) when a user uses the PC, the PC is accessed to the Internet, and the network virus stores the dictionary for cracking the authentication information into a hard disk, for example, so that when the PC displays an authentication information input box, a processor can read the dictionary in the hard disk and sequentially input code words in the dictionary into the authentication information input box to crack the standard authentication information as a power supply in the PC supplies power to a component on a mainboard in the PC; (2) when the BIOS firmware has a security hole, the PC can directly start the computer operating system without receiving authentication information, namely the risk of bypassing user authentication exists; (3) an illegal user inserts a USB device into a PC, and inputs authentication information into the PC through the USB device in a keyboard input mode or inputs the authentication information into the PC through a keyboard matched with the PC, so that the standard authentication information is cracked violently. The above three defects may reveal information in the PC, that is, an illegal user can obtain personal information of the user and/or secret information of business stored in the PC, and the security of the PC is reduced.

In another prior art, standard authentication information is included in a computer operating system, after a user presses a power switch on a PC, a power supply in the PC supplies power to a processor on a motherboard in the PC, so that the processor starts the computer operating system, when an authentication information input program in the computer operating system is read, an authentication information input box is displayed, the user inputs authentication information in the authentication information input box, and after the processor determines that currently input authentication information is the same as the standard authentication information, the processor enters the computer operating system, so that the user can use the PC. The prior art has the following four defects: (1) when a user uses the PC, the PC is accessed to the Internet, and the network virus can store the dictionary for cracking the authentication information into a hard disk, so that when the PC displays an authentication information input box, a processor can read the dictionary in the hard disk and sequentially input code words in the dictionary into the authentication information input box to crack the standard authentication information as a power supply in the PC supplies power to a component on a mainboard in the PC; (2) when a computer operating system has a security vulnerability, the risk of bypassing user authentication exists; (3) the risk of user authentication is bypassed by illegal users through peripheral equipment such as a U disk, a network card, a simulation keyboard and the like; (4) an illegal user inserts a USB device into a PC, and inputs authentication information into the PC through the USB device in a keyboard input mode or inputs the authentication information into the PC through a keyboard matched with the PC, so that the standard authentication information is cracked violently. The four defects can reveal information in the PC and reduce the safety of the PC.

In another prior art, a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) card reading device is additionally installed on a host computer, a user holds an RFID card, before the user presses a power switch on a PC, the user swipes the RFID card on the RFID card reading device, and after the RFID card reading device verifies the identity of the user, the PC automatically enters a boot process. The prior art has the following two defects: (1) if the RFID card is lost, the risk of falsifying the RFID card by an illegal user exists; (2) when the RFID card reading device has a security hole, the risk of bypassing the user authentication exists. The two defects cause the information in the PC to be leaked, and the safety of the PC is reduced.

In the application, in order to improve the security of electronic equipment such as a PC, a server and the like, before a processor such as a CPU is powered on, authentication information to be authenticated is authenticated, after the authentication information to be authenticated passes authentication, power is supplied to a mainboard, so that the electronic equipment starts a computer system, the problems that a processor reads a dictionary in a hard disk, standard authentication information is cracked and the like are solved, and the security of the electronic equipment is improved.

The original authentication information is encrypted by the encryption/decryption tool 33 included in the information authentication module 1130 to obtain encrypted original authentication information, and the encrypted original authentication information is stored in the authentication memory 32, so that the security of the original authentication information can be improved, and the original authentication information can be prevented from being illegally tampered.

Or, in the process of using the electronic device by the user, the information to be authenticated of the user may be provided to the controller 31 through the information input interface 12, the controller 31 encrypts the information to be authenticated through the encryption and decryption tool to obtain encrypted information to be authenticated, and obtains the pre-stored encrypted original authentication information from the authentication memory 32, where the encrypted original authentication information is obtained after the original authentication information is encrypted. The controller 31 determines whether the encrypted original authentication information matches the encrypted information to be authenticated, and determines that the information to be authenticated of the user passes authentication if the encrypted original authentication information matches the encrypted information to be authenticated.

As an optional implementation, the electronic device further comprises: and the information input unit is connected with the controller 31 through the information input interface 12. When the user uses the electronic device, the user inputs information to be authenticated through the information input unit, and the controller 31 acquires the information to be authenticated input by the user through the information input interface 12. Optionally, the information input unit may include an information acquisition module, and the information acquisition module may include at least one of the following modules: fingerprint identification module, face identification module, iris identification module and ID card identification module. Alternatively, the information input unit may include a communication module for receiving information to be authenticated transmitted by a mobile communication device, such as a mobile phone.

On the basis of the above embodiment, the electronic device may further include: a power detection unit 13 and a prompt unit 14. The electronic device is described in further detail below with reference to fig. 5.

The power detecting unit 13 is configured to detect a remaining power of the first power module 101.

The controller 31 is further configured to obtain the remaining power detected by the power detection unit 13, and if it is determined that the remaining power is less than or equal to the preset value, control the prompt unit 14 to alarm the power of the user. Optionally, the size of the preset value may be equal to the size of the electric quantity required for performing one authentication, or may be other.

Alternatively, the power amount detection unit 13 may include a voltage sensor and/or other sensors for measuring the remaining power amount. The prompting unit 14 may include an electronic device such as a buzzer and/or a Light Emitting Diode (LED).

In this embodiment of the application, the electronic device includes the electric quantity detection unit 13 and the prompt unit 14, so that when it is determined that the remaining electric quantity is less than or equal to the preset value, the controller 31 can control the prompt unit 14 to alarm the electric quantity of the user, and the user can charge the first power module, thereby improving the timeliness of charging the first power module, avoiding the problem that the authentication information cannot be treated due to the exhaustion of the electric quantity in the first power module, and thus the user mistakenly believes that the electronic device fails, and improving the user experience.
