PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a sure individual identification method for reducing the storage capacity of fingerprint information of an IC card system. SOLUTION: On an IC card side, when inputting and storing the fingerprint data 6 of an owner beforehand, the fingerprint data 6 are coded 1, redundant data generation 2 is performed further, they are combined and redundancy is added 3. Further, by performing ciphering 4 by using the key 5 of a true owner and performing digitization, information to be stored is compressed and a capacity can be reduced to one part in several. When the IC card is used, approaching to a reader is performed, it is inserted, the fingerprint 13 of a user is inputted and redundant data, based on the fingerprint of the user are obtained by the redundant data generation 8 from the obtained fingerprint data 7 of the user. In the meantime, while decoding 9 signals from the IC card by the key 12 specified by the user and taking out the redundant data 10, the redundant data corresponding to the newly inputted fingerprint are collated and whether or not they match is identified. |
