Third embodiment;

The operation of each function will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 4 according to an embodiment of the present invention as shown in the accompanying drawings. 4 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration of a fingerprint authentication unit according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, and illustrates a flowchart illustrating the overall operation of the fingerprint authentication unit illustrated in FIG. 1.

In FIG. 4, the fingerprint authentication process (S100 / 60) of the fingerprint authentication unit according to the present invention is largely divided into a fingerprint registration process and an authentication process of the user.

First, in the registration process, the fingerprint authentication unit (S100 / 60) reads the user's fingerprint by a scan method when the user's finger contacts the scanner 60, extracts the fingerprint data, and stores the storage device 130 or the authentication unit (S100). / 60). The memory device 130 registers and stores the fingerprint data input from the scanner 60 in a built-in memory device 130 in a database form.

The fingerprint data of the user extracted from the scanner 60 in the registration process of FIG. 4 is registered in the storage device 130 through the authentication unit S100 / 60 as described above.

In the next authentication process, the scanner 60 scans a user's fingerprint and extracts fingerprint data as described above. The authentication unit S100 / 60 compares the fingerprint data input from the scanner 60 with the fingerprint data registered in the storage device 130 to confirm whether the user is present. Here, if the input fingerprint data matches the registered user's database, the authentication unit (S100 / 60) determines that the user and releases the protection state so that the user can use the fixing device (800).

On the other hand, if the input fingerprint data does not match the registered database authentication unit (S100 / 60) is to maintain the protection state to control the user's access. At the same time, the authentication unit (S100 / 60) to display the guidance message to be delivered to the user in the registration process and fingerprint authentication process described above, or to display the content of the facts on the fixed device 800 monitor if the identity is confirmed by fingerprint authentication do.

Here, the storage device 130 stores the fingerprint data information from the scanner 60 by the command of the authentication unit S100 / 60. Subsequently, the controller 100 performs a fingerprint authentication process to confirm whether the user is the user. In the recognition process, the authentication unit (S100 / 60) determines whether the input user information matches the database registered in the storage device 130. Here, when the input fingerprint information matches the registered database, a message indicating that the user matches the message is displayed on the monitor by the command of the authenticator S100 / 60.

In detail, the fingerprint authentication unit compares the fingerprint data of the user extracted through the scanner 60 with the fingerprint data registered in the storage device 130 to check whether the user is present. Here, if the input fingerprint data matches the registered user's database, the authentication unit (S100 / 60) determines that the user and releases the protection state, while the authentication unit if the input fingerprint data does not match the registered database. (S100 / 60) to maintain the protection state to control the user's access.

As described above, according to the controller 100 according to the present invention, by using a unique fingerprint of the individual can not only accurately check whether the identity, but also the risk of copying, tampering, loss of data, etc. in the fixing device 800 It can be prevented.

Fourth embodiment; Proof of e-commerce flaw;

The flaw of mutual authentication in electronic commerce is one of many controversial issues. Confirming, authenticating, and keeping accurate records of users' exclusivity and mutual transactions is an essential goal for electronic commerce. The controller 100 according to the present invention will be described as follows as a device that can achieve this perfectly. This is done on the premise that the smart card 70 is not physically replicable and that no one is fingerprinted and that all electronic trading parties are on-line.

In the logic that can guarantee the uniqueness, because of the high level of internal data encryption possessed by the smart card 70, this cannot be physically replicated, so that the card 70 is the only card only through strict issue management. Upon reading it is authenticated. However, when the card 70 is read from a remote location, the first verification is performed on-site by analyzing the fingerprint data recorded in the card 70 and the fingerprint scan data of the user in order to prove that the owner is the user. When compared with the data registered on the host, accurate verification. Therefore, the fingerprint scanner 60 and the card reader 71 in the controller 100 of the present invention can fully prove its uniqueness and authenticity. In this case, it is possible not to deny the identity of the transaction record as well as the identification and authentication of the person.

In this case, there is no need to worry about the secret of the password, worry about the theft, or the inconvenience of inputting the personal information 73 on the keyboard 30 and the disclosure of privacy. Therefore, it is possible to strictly and accurately reproduce the specific computer 810 or the specific person, to verify the mutually exchanged records, to verify that they are the same person, and the like.

The present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings 5 and 6 which illustrate preferred embodiments of this defect free transaction.

The certification authority 93 has a meaning including a data processing system in the payment path 94 that provides financial related services for the cardholder 91. The controller 100 of the card holder 91 has a meaning including a terminal requesting a service of the authentication authority 93. The card 70 is used to mean a smart card that can store personal information, including information about the fingerprint of the holder, and includes a card for purely identification purposes and various other cards used for additional purposes. Has meaning.

4, 5, and 6, the personal identification system is designed to authenticate the identity of the holder of each controller 100. The certification authority 93 includes a computer of a certification authority.

The certification authority 93 includes a database 943 that stores personal information 73. The personal information 73 includes information about the ID number and fingerprint of the holder authorized to access the computer of the certification authority 93. In addition, the certification authority 93 includes an authentication function for comparing the personal information transmitted from the controller 100 with the personal information 73 stored on the database 943. The authentication function transmits a permission signal to the cardholder 91 when the transmitted personal information matches the personal information 38 stored on the database 73.

Each controller 100 includes a holder input device in the form of a keyboard 30, a card reader 71 and a scanner 60 (see FIG. 3). The scanner 60 reads a fingerprint. The card holder 91 reads the card with the card reader 71 in the controller 100. Card 70 stores the cardholder's personal information. The stored personal information includes information about the cardholder's ID number and information about the cardholder's fingerprint. Fingerprint information is preferably encrypted.

The controller 100 has a fingerprint comparison analysis function in addition to the card reader 71 and the scanner 60. It compares the information about the detected fingerprint with the fingerprint information stored on the card 70, and outputs an authentication signal when the detected fingerprint information and the stored fingerprint information match.

The certification authority 93 receives the personal information 73 including the detected fingerprint information, compares the personal information with the personal information stored in the database 73, and accesses the certification authority 93 to the computer. It includes an access approval mechanism for approval. The approval function transmits an approval permission signal to the controller 100 when the personal information transmitted from the controller 100 matches the personal information 38 stored on the database 73.

A preferred personal information authentication method is illustrated by the flowchart of FIG.

In step Step-2 after the start, the holder reads the card 70 to the card reader 71 and scans the fingerprint according to the on-screen instructions. In step Step-3, information about the fingerprint is detected and the stored personal information is read. In step Step-4, the detected fingerprint information is compared with the stored fingerprint information to determine whether it matches. The comparison result is examined in step Step-5. If there is a match, in step Step-6, the fingerprint information read by the scanner 60 and the personal information 73 read and stored by the card reader 71 together with the authentication signal from the controller 100 to the authentication authority 93. Is sent. In step Step-7, in the certification authority 93, the transmitted personal information 73 including the detected fingerprint information is compared with the personal information 38 stored on the database 943.

If the information sent by the controller 100 matches the stored information on the database 943, then in step Step-8 the permission signal is sent to the controller 100. If it does not match, in step Step-9, the reject signal is sent to the controller 100 or no signal is transmitted. In step Step-5, if the detected fingerprint information and the stored fingerprint information do not match, an access rejection message appears in step Step-10.
