Description

User authentication method, device and system based on NFTized genetic information {METHOD, APPARATUS AND SYSTEM OF CERTIFYING USER BASED ON GENETIC INFORMATION CONVERTED INTO NFT}

The present disclosure relates to user authentication, and more particularly, to a method, apparatus, and system for performing user authentication based on NFTized genetic information.

Blockchain is a data management technology in which continuously increasing data is recorded in a block of a specific unit, and each node constituting a P2P (peer-to-peer) network manages the block in a chain-type data structure. Alternatively, it means the data itself composed of the chain-type data structure. At this time, the blockchain composed of a chain-type data structure is operated in the form of a distributed ledger in each node without a central system.

Each blockchain node constituting a blockchain network manages blocks in a chain-type data structure. Here, the hash value of the previous block is recorded in each block, and the previous block can be referred to through the hash value. Therefore, as blocks are piled up, forgery and falsification of data recorded in the block becomes difficult, reliability of data is improved, and integrity of data can be guaranteed even in a distributed environment.

Thanks to the advantage that the integrity and reliability of data can be guaranteed in a distributed environment that does not require central system control, many fields are currently trying to introduce blockchain technology.

First, with reference to FIG. 5, a method performed by the computing device 20 to provide a blockchain-based gene information transaction service will be described as follows.

The computing device 20 may receive the user's genetic analysis information (S11).

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the computing device 20 may receive the user's genetic analysis information based on a differentiated information securing process according to country-specific laws, diseases, and consumer direct request.

The computing device 20 may convert the user's genetic analysis information and identification information into NFTs and register them in an exchange (S13).

The computing device 20 may provide first information of the NFT registered to the exchange according to the first request of the second terminal 20 (S15).

The computing device 20 may provide second information corresponding to the first information of the NFT registered in the exchange according to the second request of the second terminal 20 (S17).

In the above, the first request of the second terminal 20 may be, for example, a genetic information search request on a service platform provided by the computing device 20 .

In the above, the second request of the second terminal 20 returns a result (first information) according to a genetic information search request on the service platform according to the first request, for example, and selects the returned first information. may be a request.

Meanwhile, in the above, the first information is a summary of the user's gene analysis information as shown in FIG. 8A and may be in a pdf format, and the second information is as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8B to 8D. Likewise, it may be all information or detailed information according to the user's information disclosure range setting.

In the present disclosure, when the second terminal 20 is searched, only summary information is provided to provide search convenience for the user of the second terminal 20, that is, the purchaser, and if desired gene information is selected after the search, , it is possible to provide a two-track service by providing detailed information. By providing the service as described above, the user of the second terminal 20 can quickly and easily search for accurate genetic information corresponding to the desired information, as well as prevent inconvenience in transactions after selecting unwanted genetic information. In addition, it is possible to prevent the user of the first terminal 10 from exposing his or her unique information, such as genetic information (DNA information), and to ensure anonymity.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, an NFT is issued including genetic information and identification information, but may be distributed in a pdf format. At this time, the distributed pdf file may include only the analysis result of the genetic information, and personal information of the user who provided the genetic information may not be exposed. In the above, the identification information is for identifying genetic information and may not be for identifying user's personal information.

The first information, which is a file in the pdf format, may include only minimum information or summary information for the buyer to make a purchase decision, and if the buyer expresses (selects) a purchase intention for the gene information, detailed information, 2 information is provided, but the computing device 20 provides the first information free of charge (as a search result value), and the second information can be viewed only after purchase.

The computing device 20 may store information about the user and information about NFTs registered in the exchange in different servers. The computing device 20 may control the same identification information to be assigned to the matched information about the user and information about the NFT. That is, the computing device 20 provides a service so that the distributed pdf file, that is, the first information and the information stored in the distributed storage devices 31 to 34 are matched, and for this purpose, the link ( can be linked). In the above, the form of identification information such as a marker may not be limited.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the NFT may further include at least one of the user's personal information, medical information, and lift log information in addition to the user's gene analysis information. there is.

In the above, personal information may include age, gender, race, country, region, and the like.

In the above, medical information may indicate, for example, cancer, general disease, mental disease, DTC (hair loss, obesity, allergy, nutrition), and the like.

In the above, the life log information may include, for example, life pattern information such as drinking, smoking, and sleep.

The medical information may include health examination information, prescription information, diagnosis information, and the like.

NFTs registered on the exchange may be classified based on categories or items. For example, NFTs can be generated by classifying categories such as cancer and general diseases. An item is a smaller concept than a category. For example, cancer can be classified into detailed items such as gastric cancer, lung cancer, and liver cancer, or general diseases into detailed items such as childhood obesity, poor cognitive ability, and growth hormone deficiency.

That is, according to the present disclosure, one NFT may be created and issued for cancer, which is a category unit, or one NFT may be individually created and issued for each subcategory of cancer, such as gastric cancer, lung cancer, and liver cancer.

Referring to FIG. 7 , an NFT including gene information of a middle order including gene analysis information on at least one or more types of cancer together with table of contents information on cancer in a category unit is illustrated.

Referring to FIGS. 8B to 8D , NFTs including genetic analysis information for each individual item (disease) are shown.

The transaction amount of the NFT registered in the exchange may be different depending on the type of the user's genetic information and the scope of information disclosure.

The computing device 20 may pay a fee (reward) according to the transaction of the NFT registered in the exchange. In this case, as shown in FIG. 9 , the fee may be different according to the number of transactions.

When registering the NFT issued for the user's genetic information on the exchange, the computing device 20 may provide a service so that the user can arbitrarily set the initial price. However, from thereafter, the computing device 20 may provide a service such that a price is determined based on a transaction price based on a market principle based on supply and demand.

According to embodiments, the computing device 20 may provide the lower limit of the initial price as a reference value. This is because, for example, the computing device 20 needs to be set higher than that because gas fees (transaction fees) may occur when NFT transactions are in progress.

Meanwhile, the computing device 20 may provide a guide to assist in initial price setting.

The computing device 20 may calculate a price or a fee for the corresponding genetic information based on at least one of the type and disclosure range of information included in the NFT information that is the subject of the transaction.

According to an embodiment, in determining a price or fee for NFT information including genetic information, the computing device 20 determines the type of genetic information included in the NFT (eg, cancer information, general disease information, or rare disease gene). Information, etc.) or the range of genetic information disclosed according to the user's setting, and the price guide service may be provided based on the sum of the weights.

When the user provides genetic information through the first terminal 10, the computing device 20 obtains setting information about the sharing range of the genetic information, the genetic information subject to transaction, and the effective date of transaction availability, etc., and obtains such information. can create NFTs that are reflected or included. In this case, settings for categories or items may be the same. For example, the user of the first terminal 10 requests the computing device 30 to NFT his or her genetic information for the purpose of trading, but the genetic information about cancer (category) is only for public interest or research purposes. It can be set to be subject to full disclosure and transaction, and the computing device 20 can calculate the price or weight of the NFT token according to the user's setting.

Referring to (a) of FIG. 7, the NFT may include information on the table of contents. In this case, the table of contents includes various information such as availability/non-disclosure of information, scope of information disclosure (all/part), exposure/non-exposure of personal information, etc. It can be set, and the price and weight can be determined according to the above setting.

Based on the genetic analysis information received, the computing device 20 generates and issues an NFT, but based on the genetic analysis information for a category or item, the information in the NFT is sequenced and classified, and the priority of the transaction may be determined. For example, referring to the visualized gene information shown in (b) of FIG. 7 , the user is a case where the gastric cancer incidence rate compared to the gene in relation to gastric cancer is higher than a threshold value (57%), and the gene warning light is randomly turned on to generate the corresponding gene. Notification information on the risk of gastric cancer for the user may be provided, which may also appeal to the user of the second terminal 1 .

When a plurality of NFTs are generated for one user, the computing device 20 may classify NFTs having a genetic risk of a predetermined quality above a threshold value on the summary information of each issued or generated NFT and NFTs not having a genetic risk. Similarly, the computing device 20 may classify, group, and control NFTs for the dangerous disease group and the non-risk disease group.

Meanwhile, the computing device 20 may control to generate/issue an NFT or generate summary information only for genetic information about diseases for which a genetic warning light is turned on. Conversely, when the gene warning light is not turned on, the computing device 20 may control not to generate/issue an NFT based on the gene analysis information of the user for the disease or not to generate summary information.

In the present disclosure, since summary information is provided as the first information, when the second terminal 20 requests a search, only summary information-based information, that is, NFT-issued information having summary information can be exposed in response to the search request.

Regarding the fee, as shown in FIG. 9 , the computing device 20 may control different fees to be set when the NFT is initially issued, when the first transaction is performed, when the second transaction is performed, and the like. .

For example, referring to FIG. 9 , the fee payment system according to the present disclosure may use Equation 1 below.

[Equation 1]

Fee = DNA NFT price * x1(%) * x2(%) * ... (x1: 1st transaction fee rate, x2: 2nd transaction fee rate, …)

On the other hand, referring to FIG. 6, the NFT service outline for blockchain-based gene information according to the present disclosure may be transmitted to a gene analysis institution after a user requests a genetic test through a channel such as a medical institution. The gene analysis institution may return the analysis result to the user's terminal 10, and may control the NFT registered in the exchange to be traded. In the control process, search for information by condition, notification related to purchase, etc. may be performed between the first terminal 10 - the exchange 20 - the second terminal 20, and the computing device 20 may smoothly conduct transactions. can guide you. Meanwhile, a terminal that purchases NFTs from the exchange 20 may freely trade with other terminals, but the number of transactions may be reported to or collected from the computing device 20 .

Referring to FIG. 9 , the computing device 20 may count the transaction order of the NFT. In this case, the computing device 20, even if the initial information disclosure range is set to the whole by the user when the transaction degree is 1st, when the transaction degree is 2nd, only a part of the information disclosure range differently from the information disclosure range initially set by the user is disclosed. You can also control the transaction by doing so. In this case, the computing device 20 may determine the NFT transaction price and the fee rate for the user differently. That is, the computing device 20 may have the range of information disclosure set by the user at the time of the first NFT transaction, but the range of information disclosure may be modified during subsequent NFT transactions. However, in this case, the computing device 20 may be prohibited from modifying and controlling the information disclosure range beyond the information disclosure range set by the first user at the time of NFT transaction.

The computing device 20 determines that one NFT includes genetic information for a plurality of categories or items, and when a link is made in association with a search for genetic information of a specific category or item, the first It may be proposed to form a plurality of individual NFTs by dividing the NFTs by the terminal 10. In this case, the computing device 20 may differentiate between the NFT corresponding to the information that caused the division and the non-NFT when calculating the price or fee for each divided NFT.

As described above, the computing device 20 may manage a shared record according to the number of transactions of an NFT generated for one genetic information and report it to the first terminal 10 .

The computing device 20 may differentiate the transaction price or fee of the NFT based on the disclosure period setting information of the gene information included in the NFT by the user.

The computing device 20 may differentiate the transaction price or fee for the NFT for general genetic information, such as the rarity of the constitution in the genetic structure.

The computing device 20 calculates the data ranking of the NFTs registered on the exchange based on the period unit, the transaction number unit, the information disclosure range unit, etc., and lists the NFT identification information according to the calculated data ranking, and second It may respond to the information search request of the terminal 20 . That is, the computing device 20 may control an NFT having a high data ranking to be exposed first when a result is returned in response to the information search request of the second terminal 20 .

The computing device 20 may automatically correct and calculate the price or fee of the NFT according to the search request of the second terminal 20 . For example, the computing device 20 increases the price or fee for the NFT corresponding to a search term having a higher search rank or higher than a search term based on a search term included in the search request of the second terminal 20 this month, and In the opposite case, the price or commission can be controlled to be lowered.

The computing device 20 may modify and control the price or fee of the corresponding NFT according to the number of times the NFT is returned and exposed according to the search request of the second terminal 20 or the number of selections after exposure.

The computing device 20 may exclude NFTs from the number of exposures when the NFTs are included in the list of returned results according to the search request of the second terminal 20, but the summary information is not opened or the ranking is less than the threshold value.

The computing device 20 may not generate or issue an NFT for a specific category or genetic item according to the country's legal data or health policy.

The computing device 20 may exclude an NFT generated for a specific category or gene item from the tradeable list according to the country's legal data or health policy. Accordingly, the corresponding NFT may not be included or exposed in the results corresponding to the search.

The computing device 20 may adjust the range of NFTs to be provided as a result in response to the search request by referring to transaction reliability, transaction purpose, transaction type, institution name, institution history, and the like of the second terminal 20 . For example, when the reliability of the transaction is low or the purpose or intention of the transaction of the genetic information is questionable, the computing device 20 may include only relatively general genetic information or NFTs that are highly exposed through a transaction exceeding a threshold value and provide the result. .

When a transaction is made for a predetermined NFT among resultant NFTs provided according to the search request of the second terminal 20, the computing device 20 sets the NFT linked to the corresponding NFT as a related NFT even if the search is related to a specific item or category. Recommendations can be provided. For example, when a user individually creates a plurality of NFTs of genetic information, such as by category or by item, and each NFT is linked to one user's genetic information and stored in the computing device 20, the computing device 20 ) is provided in response to a search request from the second terminal 20 and recommends other NFTs of the user linked to the selected NFT, thereby inducing transaction activation.

In generating the user's NFT, the computing device 20 includes arbitrary processed data other than raw data, despite the user's input, for information other than the user's genetic information, for example, medical information, etc. can be made

Computing device 20 may recreate the security of the NFT data based on the user's genetic sequence. For example, computing device 20 may include configuration for hashing user data stored in NFTs. The computing device 20 may reset encryption using a configuration capable of resetting encrypted data, for example, a part of a genetic sequence or a combination thereof, in preparation for a case where NFT data encryption information may be disclosed. there is. That is, the computing device 20 may improve the data security level by securing a plurality of authentication factors capable of verifying the validity of data.

Prior to genetic information-based user authentication according to the present disclosure, NFTization of the genetic information has been described above. Hereinafter, authentication of a user using genetic information based on the foregoing description will be described in detail.

Referring back to FIG. 1 , the computing device 30 may be a user authentication server, and a financial service server 40 may be further included.

In FIG. 1, the financial service server 40 is a server that provides financial services and is an entity that performs user authentication necessary in this process with the user authentication server 30. In the present disclosure, the financial service server 40 requiring user authentication is exemplified for convenience of explanation, but is not limited thereto and may be applied to other service servers in the same or similar manner.

In the following description, it is assumed that the financial service server 40 requests NFT-based user authentication including genetic information in relation to financial services, and the user authentication is performed in the computing device 30 in response, but is limited to this. it is not going to be

10 is a flowchart illustrating a user authentication method using a genetic information NFT according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

11 is a diagram for explaining a sequencing lead related to the present disclosure.

12 is a diagram for explaining a user authentication method using genetic information NFT according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

13 to 15 are diagrams for explaining a genetic information analysis method related to the present disclosure.

Referring to FIG. 10 , the genetic information-based user authentication method, performed by the computing device 30 according to one aspect of the present disclosure, may be performed as follows. The computing device 30 may also be referred to as a user authentication server.

The computing device 30 may receive the user's genetic analysis information (S21).

In the above, the user's gene analysis information may include a sequencing read value, as shown in FIG. 11 .

The sequencing read value obtained from the user's genetic information analysis result is based on the read value consisting of the four chemical substances of the DNA sequence A (adenine), T (thymine), G (guanine), and C (cytosine). can be derived. The sequencing read values shown in FIG. 11 do not overlap for each person (user), that is, are unique values. Therefore, the sequencing read value generates non-overlapping genetic information NFTs for each user, and can be used to provide user authentication (identification) services based thereon. In addition, this user authentication system can be used for all systems requiring or requiring user authentication, including financial services.

The computing device 30 may create an NFT including the user's genetic analysis information, assign an identification code, and store it (S23).

In the above, the user's genetic analysis information may indicate a sequencing read value, and the generated NFT may include the sequencing read value as shown in FIG. 8 .

Computing device 30 may store the NFT in the form of a ZIP file, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

The computing device 30 may receive a user authentication request (S25).

The computing device 30 may extract the identification code assigned to the NFT (S27).

The computing device 30 may search for user information having an identification code identical to the identification code (S29).

The computing device 30 may provide an authentication result for the user according to the search result (S31).

Referring to FIG. 12, the process after step S25 will be described in detail as follows.

The user authentication server 1100 may include a first server 1110 and a second server 1120 . As described above, the user authentication server 1100 may be the computing device 30 or a part thereof or a separate component thereof. However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

In this disclosure, NFTs and user information may be stored in different servers, respectively.

The first server 1110 may assign an identification code to the generated NFT based on the user's genetic information (sequencing read value) and store it. Referring to FIG. 12 , it can be seen that values matched with NFTs and identification codes are stored, such as NFT1-1111 (identification code), NFT2-1234, and NFT3-1526.

The second server 1120 may assign and store an identification code in a user DB (user information). Referring to FIG. 12 , it can be seen that values matching user information and identification codes are stored, such as user 1-1111 (identification code), user 2-1234, and user 3-1526.

Referring to FIG. 12 , it can be seen that the identification code assigned to the NFT in the first server 1110 and the identification code assigned to user information in the second server 1120 match each other.

When the NFT-based user authentication request is received from the financial service server 40, the user authentication server 1100 may extract an identification code corresponding to the NFT. For example, suppose that the NFT requested from the financial service server 40 is NFT2. In this case, the user authentication server 1100 may extract the NFT2 identification code '1234' from the first server 1110.

The user authentication server 1100 may perform a user authentication operation using the NFT2 identification code '1234' extracted from the first server 1110. For example, the user authentication server 1100 may search the second server 1120 for an identification code matching the extracted identification code '1234'. Referring to FIG. 12 , it can be seen that there is an identification code matching the extracted identification code '1234'. The second server 1120 may return user information matching (corresponding to) the identification code '1234', that is, user 2 to the user authentication server 1100.

Accordingly, the user authentication server 1100 may return as a result that the user corresponding to the user authentication requested by the financial service server 40 is user 2, that is, transmit the result to the financial service server 40. At this time, end user authentication may be performed directly in the user authentication server 1100 or in the financial service server 40 . In the former case, it is preferable to provide corresponding user information to the authentication request when or after the user authentication is requested by the financial service server 40 .

On the other hand, the user authentication server 1100 performs a user authentication operation using the NFT2 identification code '1234' extracted from the first server 1110, and the second server 1120 searches for a user matching the identification code. If not, a value corresponding to user authentication error or user authentication failure may be returned as a result value.

Alternatively, in principle, it is preferable that the user authentication server 1100 allocates only one identification code assigned to user information per user, that is, assigns one identification code to one user. However, the user authentication server 1100 performs a user authentication operation using the identification code '1234' of NFT2 extracted from the first server 1110, and a user matching the identification code is found in the second server 1120. , When a plurality of matching identification codes are found, a value corresponding to user authentication error or user authentication failure may be returned as a result value. Meanwhile, in this case, the user authentication server 1100 resets all values stored in the first server 1110 and the second server 1120, or removes or resets only user information and NFT information to which duplicate identification codes have been assigned, You can update the DB by re-running the matching operation.

According to the present disclosure, even when any one server constituting the user authentication server 1100 is exposed to risk due to hacking or the like, security can be maximized by setting the user authentication operation to not be completed with only one piece of information. . For example, even if the first server 1110 in the user authentication server 1100 is compromised by hacking and the genetic information NFT is exposed, since the user authentication procedure cannot be completed with only the genetic information NFT, the security of the system It is possible to increase reliability and reliability of the system-based user authentication procedure according to the present disclosure.

In this regard, security can be further enhanced by providing a plurality of servers corresponding to the first server 1110 and the server corresponding to the second server 1120, unlike FIG. 12 . In addition, if a plurality of servers are built on the basis of identification code, location information, gender, age, etc., or a combination thereof, it is possible to further increase security while minimizing additional time required for search.

In FIG. 12, the NFT in the first server 1110 and the user information in the second server 1120 are separately stored, but are not necessarily limited thereto. In FIG. 12, basically, it is sufficient to prevent NFTs having the same identification code and user information from being stored on the same server, and even if NFTs and user information that do not match identification codes are stored on the same server, the same effect as described above can be obtained.

Although not shown in FIG. 12 , security may be further enhanced by using a plurality of identification codes instead of just one identification code. For example, if a plurality of identification codes are assigned to the NFTs stored in the first server 1110 (in the form of NFT1-1111-ID1, but not limited thereto), the second server 1120 provides all of the plurality of identification codes. User authentication is performed by extracting user information that matches the user information or by assigning one server to an identification code, and storing information corresponding to user information-first identification code (eg, 1111) in the second server 1120, and , After storing information corresponding to the user information-second identification code (eg, ID1) in the n-th server (not shown) (n is a natural number), each server (excluding the first server) identifies the plurality of User information corresponding to the code is extracted, and if the extracted user information matches each other, it may be considered that user authentication is normally performed.

Meanwhile, it may be processed using a method similar to that shown in FIG. 12 by adding important information such as user authority setting, user authentication + user authority setting, password, and the like.

The user authentication server 1100 may determine the number of servers according to the importance of information or may configure a procedure to be performed in a hierarchical structure.

13 is shown to explain a user genetic information analysis method, and in the present disclosure, any one of WES (Whole Exome Sequencing), WGS (Whole Genome Sequencing), or genotyping techniques is used to analyze user genetic information. Can be used, but is not limited thereto.

WES is a method of analyzing only the region of the exome that is transcribed into protein, which accounts for about 2% of the total of about 3 billion bases.

WGS is a method of reading and analyzing the entire base sequence from chromosome 1 to sex chromosome 23.

On the other hand, genotyping, in particular, large scale genotyping, that is, target sequencing, is a method of analyzing the nucleotide sequence of a specific region, which is a method of analyzing regions that have been found to be related to specific diseases or individual characteristics. .

14 is a diagram for explaining the importance of WGS depth, 1310 denotes a sequencing read value, and 1320 denotes a damaged region for each chromosome. In particular, since 1320 is different for each person, it can be used for user authentication (identification).

One of the important quality control indicators of sequencing is sequencing depth of coverage. As an indicator of how many sequencing reads (bases) have been analyzed at a specific position, an x symbol is usually displayed. For example, if there are 10 sequencing reads (bases) containing a specific position, the sequencing depth can be expressed as '10x'. A sufficient number of sequencing reads are required to stochastically rule out sequencing errors and determine an accurate genotype. Particularly, in the case of WGS, a sufficient number of sequencing reads are required because a region where a large amount of G and C bases are present is included. However, in the case of WGC, even if 30x is produced, the entire base sequence cannot be covered, and a new base sequence is discovered each time. For this reason, a method of filling in regions that could not be sequenced with a bioinformatic algorithm was adopted.

15 is shown to explain the efficiency of genotyping.

Genotyping is a method of finding out how the DNA sequences of similar samples differ. In general, it can be said to be an experimental method in which genome DNA is obtained from two or more samples, and how they are different in terms of base sequence or genome structure is identified as a genotype.

It is preferable to determine and compare the nucleotide sequence of the entire genome, but considering the cost or time consumed, genotyping may be performed using various experimental techniques.

The present disclosure is not necessarily limited to generating all of the user's genetic information as one NFT. For example, only a part of the user's genetic information may be created as one NFT. Alternatively, as described above, security may be enhanced by combining a plurality of parts of the user's genetic information with an identification code.

According to an embodiment, security may be enhanced by allowing authentication to be completed only when a plurality of pieces of authentication information for one user are combined in the form of combining a portion of the user's genetic information and a portion of the identification code.

According to another embodiment, genetic information for authentication, which is a combination of identification code and genetic information including band pattern information appearing in electrophoresis as user's genetic information, may be generated and used for user authentication.

According to another embodiment, genetic information for authentication may be generated by combining genetic marker information in addition to genetic information of an individual user, and may be used for user authentication. Through this, it is possible to prevent copying of certificates or theft of IC cards, and thus security can be further strengthened.

According to another embodiment, by using single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), which represents a difference between individuals, as user genetic information, personal identification may be used for user authentication.

A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) is a part of the entire human genome in which the sequence of bases varies from individual to individual, and occurs approximately one in every 1,000 bases. Humans are 99.9% genetically identical, but height, skin color, hair color, and eye color can vary due to a 0.1% SNP difference, and each person reacts differently even if the same drug is used. Therefore, the nucleotide at the SNP position can be directly determined by a method for determining the nucleotide sequence of a nucleic acid.

The SNP preparation operation may be performed as follows. SNP base sequences are prepared by database of SNP nucleotides obtained from humans to be encoded. SNP base sequences are composed of alphabetic characters at the base of SNP nucleotides. Since SNP nucleotides are composed differently for each individual, SNP base sequences generated based on this In addition, it may be configured differently so that each individual can be identified.

On the other hand, in personal authentication, a SNP nucleotide sequence having personal identification is substituted for a human reference gene sequence to generate a personal authentication nucleotide sequence, and the generated personal authentication nucleotide sequence can be used as a biometric authentication means having personal identification.

According to various embodiments of the present disclosure described above, user authentication may be performed using NFTized user genetic information.
