Smartcard Training Part 2

We dine in Izzy. Horay, I can get InfoLINUX there.

Mr Edward already off and today we just learn to optimize the code and other aspect of smartcard from him. And then, Mr Jo (I don't know his real name) started from 3 pm is teaching us the off card application that UI gonna use. There is a REAL issue that we are getting from the card. It is about some policy that UI must conform with world standard such as ISO or Belgium something.... Sorry, it's about the security mechanism that will compromise the UI Smartcard.

There are some benefits that UI can have from smartcard. But, it means there must be a bigger revitalization of facilities in whole UI. Big investation, but it will get hits in the future, very big hit! Cool...

But, there are also some beneficial with today's infrastructure in UI can be handled in term of optimize it with Smartcard management.

Some plans are occuring when we see Jakarta plans and the open Smartcard for all banking systems. Our UI Smartcard shall adequate to fullfill requirements, even more enhancements can be implemented. The problem lies that UI Smartcard needs to properly reorganize. The reorganization shall take quite sometime because it depends on how UI will integrate with other third party services. Technically speaking, UI must be able to have blocks where third party vendor can reserves its requirements.

More delicate matter is the Key infrastructure in UI that needs to be planted in non-compromise security which I believe UI has the infrastructures to implemented it now, with some tweaks of course.

Today, UI Smartcard uses VeriFinger to authenticate fingerprints. I am motivated to hear that; I want to see if there exist the open source counterpart. But, it is interesting to hear that the developer think of the academic needs. They provide some raw data that interestingly can be used as research data. I think, this smartcard project can be forked into any research viable in UI. Researches can be conduct not only in Technology Engineering but in term of Social Engineering. Indeed, I found that this smartcard thing is a brand that intricate social interests. But, I don't want to study or research that too deep (if I do that, then we don't need any social engineers such as psychology, law, etc ;P).

Well, in my opinion, smartcard indeed needs a lot of social research. Because, technically we can do it and implements it. But, the real question, is it beneficial based on people mind? How can it be used? How we elaborate it to make efficiency without to much Business Process Reengineering? ETC.

OK, there are some interesting topics that I would like to write but my battery is running low now, 3 minutes remaining. Good bye for now!

STAN vs. UI

Ugh, kasihan banget adek gue. Saking kepinteran dia jadi dapet Akuntansi UI dan STAN. Jadi bingung mau masuk yang mana. Beberapa orang (termasuk orang tua gue), menyarankan masuk STAN. Gue malah memperburuk suasana dengan membela memasuki Akuntansi UI, maklum bela almamater. Duh, gue jadi merasa bersalah bikin dia ragu-ragu. Kira-kira enakan masuk mana, yah? Gue juga gak tahu keuntungan masing-masing. Hasil debat sementara: ~ Untuk jangka panjang masuk UI, untuk jangka pendek STAN. ~~Tapi, dia itu kan cewek, ntar pas menikah kemungkinan besar karir terhambat. Eits, ntar, dulu, sekarang kan jamannya emansipasi, bisa aja cowoknya yang jadi BRT. ~ STAN sarang korupsi, kalo masuk STAN jadi pegawai negeri. Kalo mau kaya harus korupsi. Tapi kalo masuk UI, lulus masuk jadi akuntan publik. Sekarang ini, orang membayar akuntan publik untuk memanipulasi nilai pajak dan aset. *SIGH*. Jadi gak ada yang beres ~ dll. Yah, udah gue jadi bingung, apa lagi dia nanya saran gue. Buah, gue gak pengalaman ...

Installing Goodix Fingerprint Reader Driver on Fedora

I currently have a Lenovo Thinkpad L14 laptop equipped with fingerprint. I was `belok` from KDE Neon to use Fedora 40 because of someone. Now I am tempted to enable my fingerprint: lsusb | grep -i fingerprint Bus 001 Device 004: ID 27c6:55b4 Shenzhen Goodix Technology Co.,Ltd. Fingerprint Reader Dump the firmware Assuming this is a fresh install, lets do some magic by getting some dependencies: sudo dnf install gcc git python-pip python-devel openssl Let's get the source code: git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/goodix-fp-linux-dev/goodix-fp-dump.git cd goodix-fp-dump Create an isolated Python environment: python -m venv .v source .v/bin/activate Do the magic: sudo su pip install -r requirements.txt python run_55b4.py exit There are some python scripts available. I run run_55b4.py because my device ID is 27c6: 55b4 . It will spell some nonsense, which is a good thing. That nonsense actually the firmware captured by our device. Also, I typed exit becaus...

Vibe Coding Workflow

I am currently working for having A.I. workflow for generating projects. There are two things that need to be tackled for that: 1) hallucinations; and 2) old codes. I have met several patterns to tackle those two and just need to formulate the patterns into a general flow. Thankfully, a video of building fullstack app using A.I. from Raf Dev channel inspired me to make the formulation. He used multiple A.I. engines to his need: He used Google Gemini to onboard his ideas and summarized it. He forked a boilerplate of NextJS project into a new project. Then, he added the summary from Google Gemini into a file for context. He used QWEN Code, a QWEN3 code engine that is a fork from Gemini CLI, to build the project. When working with an existing project, A.I. will take the whole project as a context. It also means that it will stick with the version used by the libraries. It also will try to update its knowledge based on the common pattern in the project. Most of the time, it will use the c...
