PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To protect users and a service provider against damage caused by stealing a personal code number or password by authenticating a bearer by using a card incorporated with fingerprint recognition device for confirming the principal. SOLUTION: When a user inserts the fingerprint authentication card 100 into a card reader and places a finger on the recognition device 120, the recognition device 120 matches the read fingerprint against fingerprints recorded in a fingerprint memory 140 and transfers the matching result to a data chip 130. The data chip 130 when receiving an effective signal as the recognition result sends user information, etc., held in its internal storage means to a processor 300 through the card reader 200, and also received data from the processor 300 through the card reader 200 and stores the internal storage means. Consequently, only when the user is the legal bearer of the fingerprint authentication card 100, the processor 300 performs a specific process by using the data recorded on the fingerprint authentication card 100. |
