FINGERPRINT INFORMATION STORAGE APPARATUS USING SECRET DISTRIBUTION TECHNIQUE, FINGERPRINT AUTHENTICATION SYSTEM USING THE SAME, AND FINGERPRINT AUTHENTICATION METHOD USING THE SAME

摘要

A fingerprint information storage apparatus includes a fingerprint information generating unit that extracts minutiae information from an authenticated user's fingerprint image and generates fingerprint information by inserting chaff minutiae information into the extracted minutiae information, a fingerprint information distributing unit that classifies the fingerprint information according to the extent that minutiae are distributed relative to the center of the fingerprint and distributively outputs the fingerprint information classified according to the distribution, and a first fingerprint information storage unit and a second fingerprint information storage unit that store the fingerprint information and distributively output according to the distribution, wherein the authenticated user's fingerprint information registered in the first fingerprint information storage unit is partially aligned and input fingerprint information is converted based on the information so that the converted input fingerprint information and the fingerprint information registered in the second fingerprint information storage unit are aligned.
