A system for performing face registration and authentication using face information, and a method thereof. A set of readily distinguishable features for each user is selected at a registration step and only the set of features selected at the registration step is used at a face authentication step, whereby memory use according to unnecessary information and amount of data calculation for face authentication can be reduced. Thus, the present system has an advantage in that identity authentication through face authentication can be performed even under restricted environments of a USB token or smart card with limited resources. The present system further has advantages in that authentication performance is improved, as readily distinguishable feature information is used, and the time for face authentication is reduced, as face authentication is performed using the SVM built by using the optimal set of readily distinguishable features at a training step.
