Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention presents various cards and documents (hereinafter collectively referred to as ID cards) on which identification information, bank cards, credit cards, passports, resident cards and other personal information are recorded. The present invention relates to an identity authentication system for determining whether a user is the true owner of an ID card.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in order to recognize whether a credit card user is the owner or not, a signature is written on the back side of the card in advance, and a signature written on a slip at the time of using the card is used. It is collated. In addition, when receiving registered mail at a post office or opening an account at a bank, an identification card, license, resident's card, etc. are presented for identity verification. In addition, when entering a building of a specific government office or company, the security officer is presented with an identification card, an introductory card, and the like to identify himself / herself. All of these identity verifications are performed by a person checking the contents of a signature or a presentation or visually confirming the content.
