Coming home late at night, I press a button, and the door opens. This is the sense of security that smart locks provide. Indeed, they’re much safer than old-fashioned locks—there’s no keyhole to pick and no master key to try.

But is this “security” really enough?

You may not have considered this: what if a thief doesn’t pick the lock, but instead “copies” your fingerprint?

You can order a set of fake gel fingerprints online for just 50 yuan. As long as a door lock captures your fingerprint residue, it can replicate an identical pattern. Traditional silicon-based chips only recognize fingerprint patterns; they cannot distinguish between living and non-living objects—to them, there is no difference between a fake fingerprint and a real finger.

This is the blind spot of smart door locks: they can prevent forced entry, but they cannot prevent forgery.

The Xingqihang glass-based chip was developed specifically to address this vulnerability.

By abandoning traditional silicon-based technology in favor of a glass substrate, signal interference is minimized and image clarity is enhanced. Our proprietary liveness detection technology identifies not just the pattern, but the flow of blood and skin electrical signals—something silicon-based solutions cannot achieve.

Gel, tape, metal, modeling clay… all fake fingerprints are rendered useless against it. Because while fakes can replicate patterns, they cannot replicate life.

Security has evolved from “recognizing patterns” to “recognizing life.”

The live-finger detection technology complies with GA/FBI/ISO certification and Ministry of Public Security standards, and can accurately recognize fingerprints regardless of whether the finger is dry, wet, cracked, or dirty. The glass substrate is heat-resistant, pressure-resistant, corrosion-resistant, and resistant to electrostatic discharge.

Xinqihang's glass-based chips elevate smart lock security from “anti-pry” to “anti-counterfeit.”
