Secure face image transmission method, apparatuses, and electronic device

An electronic device, comprising a camera component including one or more processors and one or more memories, the one or more memories storing at least one program code, the at least one program code being loaded and executed by the one or more processors to implement a plurality of operations comprising:

• reading a target list from a buffer of the one or more memories for a face image acquired by the camera component, wherein:
• a plurality of values are stored in the target list,
• each of the plurality of values corresponds to a respective quantity of face images,
• a maximum value in the target list is updated as a quantity of all face images the camera component has ever acquired since being first activated increases;
• determining the maximum value in the target list as face image information, wherein the face image information is used for indicating the quantity of all face images the camera component has ever acquired since being first activated;
• embedding identification information in the face image to obtain the face image carrying the identification information, the identification information being used for indicating the face image information and the identification information in the face image not being perceivable by a human being;
• and
• transmitting the face image carrying the identification information to a remote server for authenticating the face image using the identification information.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, storing at least one program code, the at least one program code being loaded and executed by a processor of an electronic device comprising a camera component to implement a plurality of operations comprising:

• reading a target list from a buffer of a memory of the camera component for a face image acquired by the camera component, wherein:
• a plurality of values are stored in the target list,
• each of the plurality of values corresponds to a respective quantity of face images,
• a maximum value in the target list is updated as a quantity of all face images the camera component has ever acquired since being first activated increases;
• determining the maximum value in the target list as face image information, wherein the face image information is used for indicating the quantity of all face images the camera component has ever acquired since being first activated;
• embedding identification information in the face image to obtain the face image carrying the identification information, the identification information being used for indicating the face image information and the identification information in the face image not being perceivable by a human being;
• and
• transmitting the face image carrying the identification information to a remote server for authenticating the face image using the identification information.
