METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PREVENTING THEFT OF PERSONAL IDENTITY

摘要

A method and apparatus of preventing the theft of a personal ID are disclosed. The apparatus of preventing the theft of a personal ID includes an estimation unit, a gender similarity computation unit, an age similarity computation unit, a final similarity computation unit, and a theft check unit. The estimation unit estimates the gender and age of a user based on an image of the user. The gender similarity computation unit computes the similarity in gender based on input gender and the estimated gender. The age similarity computation unit computes the similarity in age using input age and the estimated age. The final similarity computation unit computes a final similarity using the similarity in gender and the similarity in age. The theft check unit determines whether or not a personal ID has been stolen based on the results of comparison between the final similarity and a reference value.

1. A method of preventing a theft of a personal identity (ID), comprising:
receiving, by a personal ID theft prevention apparatus, a personal ID authentication request through a client terminal of a user; estimating gender and age of the user based on an image of the user received along with the personal ID authentication request; computing a similarity in gender based on gender of the user input by the user and the estimated gender of the user, and computing a similarity in age using age of the user input by the user and the estimated age of the user; computing a final similarity using the similarity in gender and the similarity in age; and determining whether or not a personal ID has been stolen based on results of comparison between the final similarity and a reference value, and blocking the theft of the personal ID.
