In concrete, fingerprint data D1 can be inputted by using the fingerprint sensor 1. Only a specified individual can register, collate, and delete the fingerprint data D1 by the fingerprint control part 2, execute an application program P5 in the storage part 6 by the application control part 3, and receive an application program P4 from outside. Further, only a specified person at a factory can initialize the storage part 6 by the initialization control part 4. Preferably, the gap between a substrate 101 and a screw 105 of the individual authentication apparatus is filled with a high-strength adhesive. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO |
