Abstract:
A method and an apparatus for performing authentication are provided. The method includes performing, by a first authentication unit in a first electronic device, authentication with respect to a second electronic device that requests authentication through a first communication mode and when the second electronic device is authenticated, transmitting first information used for controlling the first electronic device to the second electronic device through the first communication mode and transferring second information indicating that the second electronic device is authenticated to a second authentication unit in the first electronic device.
Abstract:
A method of operating an electronic device includes selecting contents to be backed up on the basis of a usage pattern of the contents, generating backup data of the contents, and transmitting the backup data to a backup server. A priority is assigned for determining whether to a backup of the contents should occur on the basis of the usage pattern of the contents. A backup target is selected according to at least one of the per-contents usage frequency and the priority.
Abstract:
An electronic device and a method for transmitting authentication information in a mobile payment environment are provided. The electronic device includes a first communication module and a second communication module, the method can include obtaining at least one of first authentication information and second authentication information stored in the electronic device, when the obtained authentication information comprises the first authentication information, transmitting the first authentication information to a first external receiving device of the electronic device through the first communication module, and when the obtained authentication information comprises the second authentication information, transmitting the second authentication information to a second external receiving device through the second communication module.
Abstract:
An electronic apparatus is provided. The electronic apparatus includes obtaining a first image including at least a part of an iris, applies an image effect to an image region corresponding to at least a part of the iris, and displays the image region through a display connected to the electronic apparatus, thereby preventing iris information from being exposed.
Abstract:
A user device may strengthen the protection level of a digital content by dividing the security and normal modes and performing an operation. In order to further strengthen the protection level of the digital content, the user device may determine whether the main operating system is hacked or not, and blocks the operation in the secure mode. Otherwise, the device authorization information indicating the device security level of the user device is authorized by the content service server, and the user device blocks the operation in the secure mode according to the result.
Abstract:
A contents security apparatus for preventing Standard Definition (SD) contents which are protected targets of a level which is relatively lower than that of High Definition (HD) contents from being processed through a trust zone of a processor thereof and a method thereof are provided. The contents security apparatus includes a processor for operating a first Operating System (OS) and for storing authentication information of at least one or more contents and a second OS for limiting access to the first OS, wherein the first OS decrypts and processes contents with a high security level and wherein the second OS decrypts and processes contents with a low security level.

Abstract:
An electronic device includes a processor and a memory functionally connected to the processor. The electronic device acquires user's biometric information through a biometric sensor, determines virtual biometric information corresponding to the acquired biometric information, and transmits the virtual biometric information to an external electronic device through communication circuitry. The electronic device may include the biometric sensor, the communication circuitry, and the memory may be electrically connected to the biometric sensor and the communication module and store instructions to be executed by the processor.

Abstract:
An apparatus and a method for outputting contents where an Output Protection Level (OPL) has been set to an extension device in an electronic device are provided. The apparatus includes a secure processor for decrypting and decoding contents where a right to use the contents has been set using a secure Operating System (OS). When receiving an external output request for contents whose external output is not allowed, the secure processor stops generating of decoded data transmitted to an extension device.
