The object is to obtain undistorted images in high speed using a small amount of memory capacity, to realize high-quality characteristic information verification. The apparatus, which obtains information needed for user verification from partial images that are successively captured by a sweep-type fingerprint sensor from a fingertip, includes image obtaining means which captures successive partial images of biometric information; characteristic extracting means which obtains, from the captured partial images, characteristics and positions of the characteristics; detecting means which detects relative position information of partial images based on characteristics contained in a region in which the partial images overlap; and correcting means which calculates the amount of distortion of the characteristics based on the detected relative position information and on the positions of the characteristics in each partial image, and which corrects the positions of the characteristics in each individual partial image based on the calculated distortion amount.

Fingerprint section images of a finger are continuously input by relative movement with respect to a fingerprint sensor, and characteristic shapes such as ridge shapes, edge lines, and portions where changes of tangent directions are large are extracted from the fingerprint section images. Common areas in which character shapes match in two fingerprint section images which are chronologically continuous are searched by correlative calculation of characteristic shapes to detect an amount of movement of images at an overlapping position. Two living body section images which are chronologically continuous are connected to each other on the basis of the amount of movement to generate an entire living body image.

A cryptographic method and equipment decrypting a cryptographic key by generating an auxiliary code based on a randomly determined numeric key and including a result of encryption into a cryptogram. Upon decryption, the cryptographic key is restored using the numeric key restored according to the entire cryptogram. A cryptographic method and equipment scrambles and encrypts physical characteristic information, and descrambles a result of a decryption, thereby enabling any alteration to a cryptogram to be detected because even a minor alteration thereto changes the result of the decryption. A remote identification system encrypts physical characteristic information using a password as a cryptographic key, and fluctuation of the physical characteristic information, authenticating information represented as a different bit pattern at each identifying processing is generated and sent to a transmission medium.

The present invention relates to a personal authentication system which facilitates the updating of version without making a request for biometrics information re-registration work to a user even if a change of biometrics information acquiring device, biometrics information acquisition mode or biometrics characteristic data to be used at verification takes place. Accordingly, the invention comprises a biometrics information inputting section having a function to acquire biometrics information, a biometrics information converting section for converting the biometrics information acquired through the biometrics information inputting section into a state to be acquired on a predetermined acquisition condition, and an biometrics characteristic data extracting section for extracting biometrics characteristic data from the biometrics information obtained by the conversion in the biometrics information converting section. An apparatus according to the invention is applicable to a system which identifies or authenticates an individual using biometrics information (for example, fingerprint, voice, iris, face, retina, blood vessel, palm configuration, and signature) to be captured as image data or biometrics information (for example, voice, keystroke and dynamic signature) constituting time series data.

Collation information comprises anatomical information, such as finger print feature information, etc., and identification information. For the identification information, the serial number or equipment description of a device by which the anatomical information is collected, information about a route taken between a collection device and an authentication device or serial number attached to anatomical information collected by a specifying device, etc., is used instead of conventional time information. Then, the entire collation information is encrypted and is transmitted from an anatomical information collecting device to an authentication device via a network.
摘要:
In a method for fingerprint identification, fingerprint images of parts of one finger of a person to be registered are registered as registered fingerprint images, and a relative position is calculated. A fingerprint image of a person to be identified is acquired as a read fingerprint image. Based on the relative position, a registered fingerprint image from among the registered fingerprint images is specified, and a matching degree between the registered fingerprint image specified and the read fingerprint image is calculated. The specifying and the calculating are executed until the matching degree is greater than a predetermined value.

摘要:
When two images are matched, a partial image S is registered in advance, mutual relative position is obtained when the partial image S and an image I indicate the largest overlap. Based on the relative position, the relative position between the image T and the image I is determined. Thus, it is determined whether or not the image T and the image I match.
