| Approach | Feasibility | Effort | |----------|-------------|--------| | Run Windows 7 32-bit in VM with USB passthrough | High (if host CPU supports VT-x/AMD-V) | Low | | Recompile Linux driver libusb for same hardware | Medium (Cogent protocol partially documented) | High | | Replace hardware with INEX or Iris ID iCAM | High (but costly) | Medium | | Use Windows 10 32-bit with compatibility mode | Low – Cogent driver crashes on W10 due to DCI changes | High | The Cogent CIS-202 driver for Windows 7 32-bit is a classic WDM USB driver with vendor-specific bulk transfers. It remains functional on legacy systems if signature enforcement is disabled, but carries unpatched security vulnerabilities. No official upgrade path exists; migration to newer biometric standards is recommended for any networked deployment. // Pseudocode from decompiled cis202
