Description

DESCRIPTION
A METHOD FOR MAKiNG A SECURE PERSONAL CARD AND ITS WORKING PROCESS
Object This invention relates to a method for producing a secure personal card and its working process, whose characteristics correspond to the pre-characterising part of the main claim.
The smart card provided with such a process is also an object of the present invention. Technical Field
The field of application is substantially aimed at the electronic service of data processing, at the telecommunications sector and at all sectors related to electronic smart-card manufacturing. Definition of Smart Card In this description and claims the term Smart Card is understood in a widely interpretative sense, namely for example: credit/debit cards, electronic-money card, personal-digital-signature card, control and authorisations of network accesses card, financial services card, client authentication card, client identification card, identity certification card, identification in accessing network services card, substitute card in password management, etc. Background Art
At present, intelligent cards or Smart-Cards or microchip cards are known and are in use that are capable of performing a very large number of functions, both for identification as well as for payments and collections, or for a plurality of other services.
The most advanced smart cards contain a microprocessor or chip to control and identify the user name and its code in order to allow various functions. Identification data and a respective password are stored in the smart card in order to allow the verification of whether the user is a genuine user, otherwise the smart card cannot be used.
New smart cards are conceived in new technology marketing, namely the insertion into the smart card also of a biometric feature(s) of the user, e.g. thumb reader.

US2006/0131393 that discloses a multi-function transaction card. Problems and Drawbacks of the Background Art
Notwithstanding the addition of further biometric feature(s) of the user, a smart card can still be counterfeited for use by an unauthorised user.
Scope of the Invention
The scope of the invention is to resolve the aforementioned problems and drawbacks and to provide an intelligent card capable of more secure use.
Solution to the Problem and Identification of the Inventive Characteristics
The problem is resolved with the characteristics of the main claim.
The sub-claims represent advantageous preferred solutions that provide improved performance.
Advantages
In this way, it is possible to have a truly very secure smart card to use in any card service in which a very secure identification is required. Description of the Preferred Solution
For a better understanding, the invention is described in a preferred solution with the aid of the annexed Fig.1 and 2. that represent the plan view and lateral view of the card.
- Fig.3 represents the block schematic view of the main components of the said card.
Detailed Description of the Invention in relation to the Figures
The card is substantially a smart card having a smart card connector by means of a connector (1), connected to the CPU by a data bus, VCC and CLK embedded in the moulding of the card that is covered in plastic material. The CPU is in turn connected by means of an internal bus to a fingerprint reader scan-detector by means of a biometric sensor (2) with a relative memory processor.
Said internal bus is connected to an integrated memory that includes RAM,
ROM and EPROM. In more detail the numerical references indicate:
1) CONTACTS connected to the CPU
Contacts are made according to the ISO standard: they have input supply, a clock and semi-duplex serial communication.
2) BIOMETRIC SENSOR:
The biometric sensor is a fingerprint scan-detector sensor. In this way, a secure identification is allowed avoiding the problems of the exact positioning of the finger on the reading position. The processors and the memories are manufactured in packages by direct moulding with plastic materia! and therefore without casing.
3) INTERNAL BUS The internal BUS is a main connection between the CPU and the biometric sensor (2) to allow: a) at the start and once only activation of the personal card: i. generation of the absolute identification of the biometric data of the authorized user is carried out, said biometric data being stored in an unreadable memory only internally on said card thus making it absolutely impossible to read or detect or perceive outside said card, and ii. generation and storing of personal data of the user and his/her access code; b) on the following reuse: i. said biometric data being compared only internally inside said card with the current biometric re-reading of the actual user, to check if the present rereading corresponds exactly with that stored previously, said check being made only internally in the smart card in comparison with the previously inaccessible and unreadable biometric data memory, and then ii. verification and identification of said personal data and access code being allowed in order to continue regular working operation. In this way it is absolutely impossible to counterfeit said smart card or to counterfeit any action of use with said smart card, since the unauthorised user: a) not only does not have the respective access data and password, but b) it is impossible to build or rebuild new biometric identification data, said biometric identification data being not renewable.
Furthermore, all privacy of the personal biometric data in this way is not stored outside on external servers, avoiding the danger that other unauthorised users could use said data for counterfeiting.
Advantageously, with the aim of making the card even more secure, in order to avoid damaging the processor (CPU) and respective biometric data memory, the respective memory and silicon wafer and/or microprocessor and electrical connections are coated with epoxy resin.
CASING:
The voltage supply is within the range of approximately 4.75-5.25 V
The maximum current is preferably within the range of approximately 20OmA.
The card is optionally equipped with a magnetic data strip and with an RFID transponder.
In this way a very secure and light card is obtained with a very thin section
(0.54 mm) that can to be kept in a wallet like all traditional magnetic cards.
Personal Biometric data
In the preferred solution a finger print scanner (2) is used, in which the scanning movement is made by a finger transversely on the rectangular window of the scanner enclosed on the same card on the same side and in the opposite position to said contacts (1 ).
In this way a notable advantage is obtained since the card is activated and powered by said contacts and only when it is inserted. Only at this time is it possible to scan the finger of the user on the remaining external portion of the card in which said finger-scanner window is available.
Scanning is carried out by sliding the finger longitudinally in the internal to external direction.
Said type of working is only possible when said card is inserted into an authorised apparatus for its use.
It is clear from Fig.3 that the personal card includes general Memory data +
RAM + ROM and EPPROM.
The incorporation of the digital fingerprint scanner 2 that includes digital fingerprint elaboration means (21 ) associated to sensor means (22) and a memory processor (23) is also clear from Fig.3.
Advantageously, said method uses two microprocessors: - a first microprocessor on one side below said electric contacts (1 ) for the management of the card and
- a second microprocessor for the analysis of said biometric data on the diametrically opposite side (23), both being connected by a bus (3) made of flexible material. In this way, there is the advantage of having a very secure and very powerful card that is also equally thin and flexible for the two microprocessors on opposite sides.
Also advantageously, said biometric data receptor (2) comprises means for DNA analysis.
In this way, it is possible to obtain a much more secure card when in terms of comparison the DNA analysis is implemented, that in combination with the other parameters makes it practically impossible to counterfeit by means of the combination of the characteristics. Advantageously said biometric data receptor (2) comprises microprocessor means able to compare said DNA identification data with respective fingerprint data for both identity check before allowing further working. In this way the most sure identification of the authorized user is assured. Obviously the general expression "finger print" must be intended in this context a sliding contact finger surface, that produces by its mouvement substantially a scanning that produces a finger-print data. Advantageously said smart card is endowed with an inside battery for autonomous working. In this way, e.g. the scanning of the sliding contact finger surface can be made just before inserting the card in a machine reader for its working, so net needing power connection before scanning the sliding contact finger surface.
