Abstract:
The user authentication system includes a profile generation unit 14 at the side of a user terminal 10, and a profile storage unit 33 and a confirmation/replication verification unit 31 at the side of an authentication verification device 30. When authentication processing is executed in the user terminal 10, the profile generation unit 14 aggregates input biometric information, registered biometric information, and information which duplicates collation processing contents, and sets a profile S12 being an aggregation of data. The profile storage unit 33 stores the profile S12 at the outside of the user terminal 10 with identification information of authentication processing. The confirmation/replication verification unit 31 confirms the stored contents, and replicates collation processing. Accordingly, when verification is necessary, the validity of authentication processing in the user terminal 10 is verified, and a service provider device 20 is notified of this. Accordingly, there is provided a system which can verify the validity of the authentication processing performed in the user terminal when the service provider side needs the validity.
Abstract:
A user terminal including a fingerprint sensor is connected via a network to a content distribution server. The server includes at least a fingerprint-feature comparing unit and a specified content distributor. The fingerprint-feature comparing unit accesses a registered user information table in which personal information regarding a user, a user identification, and fingerprint feature information, and reads therefrom fingerprint feature information of a person who requests a content distribution so as to compare the fingerprint feature information with fingerprint feature information of the person inputted from the user terminal. The specific content distributor distributes a requested content to the user terminal only when match is made as a result of comparison. The content can therefore be distributed via a network with higher reliability and safety.
Abstract:
An information processing device and an information processing method using fingerprint matching lighten the burden imposed the user in suspension/resumption of use of the device, and enable suspension/resumption to be performed smoothly when a plurality of users share the identical information processing device and when a plurality of users have respective individual information (to what extent of the electronic book the user reads to be progressed, etc) in connection with the information processing device. User is identified according to inputted fingerprint. When use of the device is suspended, individual information (for instance, work progressive information, work environmental information, work historical information) of the user regarding the information processing device is associated with the user to preserve, while when use of the device is resumed, identified individual information to the user preserved corresponding to the user is selected to be provided to the user.

Abstract:
There is provided an authority management system in which, when a data user discloses secret information only to a specific partner having the authority to receive the disclosure of the secret information, the information can be disclosed only if the correctness of the partner is confirmed in a face-to-face manner. A holder of disclosure data encrypts data, generates and divides a decryption key of the data, and sends a partial decryption key to a disclosure partner beforehand. At the time of data disclosure, the data holder physically meets a disclosure partner terminal. The partial decryption key is sent in a proximate state, and the decryption key is reproduced. With this, the data is decrypted and disclosed. Thus, the data holder meets the disclosure partner having the authority to receive the disclosure, and visually confirms the correctness of the partner.
