The encryption / decryption method used in the digital image validation system 100 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention may be a scheme based on a public key infrastructure (PKI), but the present invention is not limited thereto. An encryption / decryption method can be used.

Meanwhile, the acquisition module 130 may correspond to the first verification information, and may acquire second verification information corresponding to the portable terminal.

The information corresponding to the portable terminal means information about the portable terminal which is collected by the portable terminal, received from the portable terminal, or collected or grasped by a predetermined system (for example, a portable communication system) interlocked with the portable terminal It can mean. Meanwhile, since the information included in the second verification information includes information corresponding to the first verification information, when the first verification information includes the location information of the place where the digital image is photographed, The second verification information may include identification information of the portable terminal when the first verification information includes identification information of a device that has photographed the digital image, If the first verification information includes time information on the digital image, the second verification information may include time information indicating that the digital image was received from the portable terminal.

According to an embodiment, the acquisition module 130 can specify a portable terminal that has transmitted the digital image or a portable terminal previously designated by the user, as a portable terminal corresponding to the second verification information.

When the first verification information includes the location information of the place where the digital image is photographed, the acquisition module 120 acquires the location information of the portable terminal 200 from the portable terminal 200 or the portable terminal From the mobile communication company system 300. In the former case, the mobile terminal 200 may include a predetermined GPS module capable of acquiring its own position information, and acquires GPS information indicating its own position using the GPS module, and transmits the GPS information to the validity verification system (100). In the latter case, the mobile communication company system 300 may include a predetermined system for tracking and collecting the location of the portable terminal 200 such as the LBS.

When the first verification information includes the time information of the digital image, the acquisition module 120 determines that the digital image is a digital image because the transmission time is very short when the digital image is transmitted through the network. The time transmitted to the validation system 100 can be regarded as the time when the digital image is received from the portable terminal 200. [

If the first verification information includes the identification information of the device that photographed the digital image, the identification information of the portable terminal may be transmitted to the portable terminal 200 or the mobile communication company system 300).

The verification module 140 may verify the validity of the digital image by comparing the first verification information and the second verification information.

More specifically, when the first verification information includes the location information of the place where the digital image is photographed, the verification module 140 determines whether the location of the location where the digital image was photographed and the location of the portable terminal Is satisfied.

The fact that two positions satisfy a predetermined position condition may mean that the two positions correspond to a predefined positional relationship. For example, if the distance between the position of the place where the digital image is photographed and the position of the portable terminal is within a predetermined limit distance, the verification module 140 determines the position of the place where the digital image is photographed, It can be determined that the position satisfies the positional condition.

If the first verification information includes the identification information of the device that captured the digital image, the verification module 140 determines whether the identification information of the photographed device and the identification information of the portable terminal match the digital image It can be judged.

If the first verification information includes the time information on the digital image taken, the verification module 140 determines that the time when the digital image was photographed and the time when the digital image was received from the portable terminal is a predetermined time condition It can be judged whether or not it is satisfied.

The satisfaction of a predetermined time condition between two times can mean that the two positions correspond to a predefined time relationship. For example, when the difference between the time at which the digital image is photographed and the time at which the digital image is received from the portable terminal is within a predefined limit time, the verification module 140 determines the time at which the digital image was photographed, It can be determined that the time when the digital image was received from the terminal satisfies the time condition.

When the position of the place where the digital image is photographed and the position of the portable terminal satisfy a predetermined positional condition, the verification module 140 determines whether the digital image is the identification information of the photographed device and the identification information of the portable terminal And judges that the digital image is valid when the digital image is photographed and / or the time when the digital image is photographed and the time when the digital image is received from the portable terminal satisfies a predetermined time condition.

Meanwhile, the digital image may be any one of a facial image of the user of the portable terminal, an ID image, a unique authentication object, or an image of an object to be occupied by the portable terminal, Images can be used for non-confidential self-certification.

Here, the unique authentication object may refer to various objects or devices that can be used for authentication of the owner, and may include, for example, a financial transaction account, a financial transaction confirmation, a financial transaction account screen, Card, debit card, etc.), an OTP device, a security card, and the like.

According to an embodiment, the digital image validation system 100 can perform non-face-to-face authentication, and for this purpose, the digital image validation system 100 performs non-face-to-face authentication based on the digital image The authentication module 150 may further include an authentication module 150 for authenticating the user.

When the digital image is an ID image, the identity authentication module 150 acquires information (e.g., a resident registration number, an address, a name, and a sex) necessary for authentication from the ID image through optical character recognition (OCR) Etc.), and in some cases, the identification photograph included in the ID image may be extracted. Then, the identity authentication module 150 can perform non-face-to-face authentication by comparing the read information and / or the identity photograph with the previously stored identity information.

When the digital image is an image of a unique authentication object, the digital image includes predetermined information (for example, a unique serial number of a credit card, a card number, an expiration date, etc., unique serial number of the OTP device A unique serial number of the secure card, etc.) may be included in the digital image, and the identity authentication module 150 may acquire information necessary for authentication of the user (for example, a credit card Unique serial number or card number, expiration date, etc., the unique serial number of the OTP device, the unique serial number of the secure card, etc.).

On the other hand, in one embodiment, the digital image may be an image of two or more images of the user's face, an identification card, or a unique identity authentication object. For example, a financial account or a credit card may be photographed in a single image together with the face of the user of the mobile terminal or an identification card. According to the present embodiment, the digital image validation system 100 includes two or more means for authenticating the digital image received by the digital image validation system 100, so that stronger identity authentication can be performed by using such a digital image There is an effect to be.

Meanwhile, in the present embodiment, the authentication module 150 authenticates two or more authentication means (for example, face, ID, or unique authentication object) included in the digital image through image processing on the digital image, And can perform non-face-to-face authentication based on each identified authentication means. In this case, the principal authentication module 150 can determine that non-face-to-face authentication is successful only when all the identified principal authentication means authenticates the principal.

Alternatively, the identity authentication module 150 may determine whether the identity authenticated by each identified identity authentication means is the same person. If the identity authenticated by the two or more identified authentication means is not the same person, the identity authentication module 150 may determine that the authentication of the identity has failed, and if the identified two or more identity authentication means are the same person The identity authentication module 150 can perform non-face-to-face authentication based on at least one of the two or more identity authentication means identified.

In another embodiment, the digital image may be an image of a user's face, an identification card, or an image of a unique authenticating object and an occupancy checking object taken together.

Here, the object to be occupied confirmation may mean various objects or devices that need to be confirmed that the user of the portable terminal is occupied (i.e., possessed). For example, when the user of the portable terminal desires to sell a used article, it is necessary to confirm that the user of the portable terminal occupies a used article. Therefore, in this case, the used goods may be an object to be occupied. For example, the digital image may be a financial transaction book or financial account confirmation and a single image of the object to be verified. According to the present embodiment, since the digital image may be an image obtained by photographing both the means for authenticating the user and the object to be occupied, the reliability of the possession of the owner of the portable terminal is strengthened.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart illustrating a method for validating a digital image according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention and a non-face authentication method using the same.

Referring to FIG. 4, the portable terminal 200 captures an ID image P (S200) and transmits it to the validity verification system 100 of the digital image (S210).
