Public-key cryptography is realized by means of PKI in which biometrics data, in which biological information of users is converted to numerical values, are used to authenticate users that transmit and receive data, and based on the biometrics data, identical secret keys (common secret keys) are generated in each of the user terminal devices that are used by the users without releasing the secret keys onto the network.

Data communication method and system

The present invention relates to improving the identification rate for a person without lowering the rate of excluding another person probabilistically. The invention is a personal identification system that finds the verification results of feature data extracted form data showing the physical features of the individual who is the verification source against the pre-registered feature data of the verification object, and identifies the individual by whether or not the degree of similarity obtained by the verification results exceeds a separate threshold value set according to pre-registered feature data, and wherein a separate threshold value calculation device is provided that calculates the separate threshold value based on the verification score distribution of feature data extracted from data showing the physical features of the individual who is the verification source and the corresponding feature data, and the verification score distribution of the feature data extracted from data showing the physical features of the individual who is the verification source and non-corresponding feature data.

Personal identification method, personal identification apparatus, and recording medium

There is disclosed a method of registering palm imprints of individuals to be identified to authenticate the individuals. Each palm imprint is divided into parts having regions with predetermined positions and sizes. Feature points are extracted from the parts of the imprint. The obtained feature information is registered as information for identity of individuals.

Method and device for registering and collating palm imprints

To provide a stripe pattern matching system enabling to verify minutia correspondence between a searching stripe pattern and a filed stripe pattern independent of position or direction of the searching stripe pattern, correspondence value between them is evaluated by comparing their distances, directions or relations to their each neighboring minutiae by a pairing examination means (16). The most appropriate rotation angle and the most appropriate shifting coordinates for adjusting the searching stripe pattern to the filed stripe pattern is obtained by selecting a most appropriate axial candidate giving the most concentrated coordinate deviations referring to deviation distributions of correspondence values accumulated on a deviation plane memory (18) by applying each axial candidate as the coordinate adjustment reference. Therefore, the most appropriate coordinate adjustment can be performed even when either or both of absolute direction and position cannot be specified, in the invention.
