摘要:
The present invention relates to a system and a method of verifying the identity of an individual by employing biometric data associated with the individual (603), wherein privacy of said biometric data (X, Y) is provided. A helper data scheme (HDS) is employed to provide privacy of the biometric data. The present invention is advantageous for number of reasons. First, processing of security sensitive information is performed in a secure, tamper-proof environment (601, 604, 606) which is trusted by the individual. This processing, combined with utilization of a helper data scheme, enables set up of a biometric system where the biometric template is available in electronic form only in the secure environment. Moreover, electronic copies of the biometric templates are not available in the secure environment permanently, but only when the individual offers her template to the sensor.

This invention relates to methods and devices for verifying the identity of a person based on a sequence of feature components extracted from a biometric sample. Thereafter, the feature components are quantized and assigned a data bit sequence in such a way that adjacent quantization intervals have a Hamming distance of 1. The data bit sequences are concatenated into a bit string, and said bit string is combined with a helper data set by using an exclusive disjunction (XOR) operation into a codeword. Finally, the codeword is decoded into a secret V and a secret S is matched with the secret V.

The invention relates to an optical identifier (30) for generating an identification signal in response to an incident radiation beam (12), and to a corresponding method. In order to provide an optical identifier (30) which can be produced by a simplified process and which has nevertheless a sufficient or even improved stability against environmental interferences it is proposed that said identifier comprises a carrier layer (32), at least partially transparent to said radiation beam (12), having a first scattering face (34) comprising a plurality of randomly oriented partial faces for scattering at least a part of said radiation beam (12), wherein said identification signal is formed by a scattered part of said radiation beam (12). Further, a device comprising said identifier, and a reading apparatus for identifying the identifier are proposed.

A system 100 for authenticating a physical product 110, such as a banknote, including at least one physical product and a verification device 130. The physical product including a random distribution of a plurality of physically detectable particles 112 in a substrate of the product. In association with the physical product, a digital representation (114) is stored (‘stored representation’) of measured physical properties of the particles including an actual distribution of at least some of the particles, where the physical properties are measured through reflection and transmission. The verification device includes a measurement unit 450 for determining a digital representation (‘measured representation’) based on measurements of physical properties of the particles, including an actual distribution of at least some of the particles, through reflection and transmission; and a comparison unit 470 for comparing the measured representation with the stored representation.
摘要:
An optical arrangement of at least a coherent light source (1), a strongly scattering object (5) (the PUF), and a pixe-lated photo-detector (6), wherein the pixels are comparable in size with the bright and dark patches of the speckle pattern produced by coherent radiation traversing the scattering object (5). Quantitively, the pixel size should be roughly λ/NA, where λ is the wave-length, and (i) NA=a/z for free-space geometry, with a being the beam radius and z being the distance between the exit surface of the PUF (5) and the pixelated detector (6), or (ii) NA is the numerical aperture of a lens (7) in an imaging geometry. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, there are tentative requirements that the pixels should be at least smaller than ηmaxλNA and preferably larger than ηmaxλ/NA, where (in an exemplary embodiment) ηmax=5 and ηmin=0.05, say. It will be understood by a person skilled in the art that the present invention is concerned with the optical arrangement of the PUF (5) and the photo-detector (6), rather than the photo -detector (6) per se.
