A method and apparatus for processing biometric information in an electronic device including a processor that operates at a normal mode or at a secure mode, the method comprising, detecting a biometric input event from a biometric sensor module at normal mode, creating biometric data based on sensed data from the biometric sensor module at the secure mode, performing biometric registration or biometric authentication based on the created biometric data at the secure mode, and providing result information of biometric registration or biometric authentication at the normal mode.

Method and apparatus for processing biometric information in electronic device

A method is provided that inputs/outputs security information to/from an electronic device. The security information inputting method includes sensing a motion for inputting security information by a sensor module; creating an interrupt according to the security information inputting motion; and reading the security information by a security information inputting module, in response to the interrupt.

Security information inputting/outputting method and electronic device adapted to the method

A method and an apparatus for providing a connection between electronic devices using authentication based on biometric information are provided. The electronic device includes: a first communication circuit to support NFC; a second communication circuit to support non-NFC; a biometric sensor; a memory to store first authentication information corresponding to an external device; and a processor. The processor is configured to: acquire connection information related to a connection with the external device from the external device using the first communication circuit in response to NFC tagging between the electronic device and the external device; establish a communication connection with the external device using the second communication circuit based on at least the connection information; receive a request for authentication information from the external device in response to the communication connection being established; acquire biometric information corresponding to a user of the electronic device using the biometric sensor in response to the request; authenticate the user based on at least the biometric information; when the authenticating succeeds, generate second authentication information based on at least the first authentication information; and transmit the second authentication information to the external device.

Method and apparatus for connecting between electronic devices using authentication based on biometric information

A device and a method for controlling a security screen in an electronic device are provided. The electronic device includes a display module, a first memory having at least one display data stored therein, a composing module that composes a plurality of display layers each including at least one display data and displays the same on the display module, and a control module that controls at least one of the display module, the first memory, or the composing module, wherein the control module identifies a type of the at least one display data included in each of the plurality of display layers and controls the attributes of the plurality of display layers to display a display layer including security data, among the plurality of display layers, at the uppermost position when the identified display data is the security data.
