SYSTEM FOR FINGERPRINT AUTHENTICATION USING WIRELESS COMMUNICATION AND METHOD THEREOF

摘要

A system and a method for authenticating a fingerprint by using wireless communication are provided to prevent alteration of fingerprint authentication data by strengthening data security in a wired/wireless communication section, and check data integrity of each transmission section by checking the alteration of the fingerprint authentication data in each transmission section unit. A user terminal(170) encodes fingerprint data generated by extracting feature of a user fingerprint. An AP(Access Point)(180) receives the fingerprint data by connecting to the user terminal through wireless communication and attaches a certifier to the received fingerprint data. An authentication server(190) generates an authentication result by comparing the fingerprint data including the certifier with a fingerprint stored in a database(194). The certifier is generated in the AP by using a random number generated in the authentication server. The authentication server verifies integrity of the fingerprint data attached with the certifier by using the certifier.
