사람의 지문은 그 인식성능과 종생불변성 및 만인부동성으로 인하여 신원인증을 위한 생채인식에서 가장 많이 이용되고 있다. 최근에는 지문인식의 신뢰성에 더하여, 그 인증속도가 지문인식을 각종 보안 어플리케이션에 응용하는데 있어서 매우 중요한 요소로 부각되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 생체면역계에서의 '자기-비자기' 구별과정에 착안한 빠르고 신뢰성 있는 지문인식 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안한 매칭알고리즘은 지문영상으로부터 추출된 특징점과 방향성분에 기반하여 만들어지는 자기공간(self-space)에 기반하여 이루어지는 1차 매칭과, 특징점의 기하학적 구조에 의하여 구성되는 로컬구조(local structure)에 의하여 구성되는 로컬구조에 의해 수행되는 2차 매칭의 두 단계로 구성되어 인식의 신뢰성을 유지하면서 인증속도를 향상시켰다.

Recently, we have remarkable developments in intelligent robot systems. The remarkable features of intelligent robot are that it can track user and is able to doface recognition, which is vital for many surveillance-based systems. The advantage of face recognition compared with other biometrics recognition is that coerciveness and contact that usually exist when we acquire characteristics do not exist in face recognition. However, the accuracy of face recognition is lower than other biometric recognition due to the decreasing in dimension from image acquisition step and various changes associated with face pose and background. There are many factors that deteriorate performance of face recognition such as thedistance from camera to the face, changes in lighting, pose change, and change of facial expression. In this paper, we implement a new sliding active camera system to prevent various pose variation that influence face recognition performance andacquired frontal face images using PCA and HMM method to improve the face recognition. This proposed face recognition algorithm can be used for intelligent surveillance system and mobile robot system.

Recently, incidents such as proxy surgery (unlicensed medical practice) have been reported in the media that threaten the safety of patients. Alternatives such as the introduction of operating room surveillance camera devices to prevent proxy surgery are emerging, but there are practical difficulties in implementing them due to strong opposition from the medical community. However, the social credibility of doctors is falling as incidents such as proxy surgery occur frequently. In this paper, we propose a medical staff identification system combining Beacon and iris recognition. The system adds reliability by operating on the blockchain network. The system performs primary identification by performing user authentication through iris recognition and proves that the medical staff is in the operating room through beacons. It also ensures patient trust in the surgeon by receiving beacon signals in the background and performing iris authentication at random intervals to prevent medical staff from leaving the operating room after only performing initial certification.

급속한 정보기술 및 인터넷의 발달로 인해 네트워크를 통한 정보의 교류가 활발해지고 온라인 뱅킹 등 전자상거래와 관련된 산업의 규모가 커지면서 정보보안과 휴대용이 용이한 스마트카드는 여러 활용분야에서 사용되고 있다. 계속적인 하드웨어 기술의 발전으로 스마트카드의 표준으로 자리 잡고 있는 자바카드는 스마트카드 플랫폼에 자바의 기술을 접목시킨 것으로써 객체지향 중심의 기법으로 보안상 매우 좋은 이점을 지니고 있다. 또한 특성이 다른 하드웨어에서 같은 동작을 할 수 있는 개방형 운영체제를 가짐으로써 다양한 다수의 응용 프로그램을 수용할 수 있는 유연성을 가지게 한다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 자바카드의 특성을 이용하여 하나의 회원 카드로 다수의 사용자가 사용할 수 있는 접근통제가 가능한 회원카드를 설계하였다. 사용자에게 발급된 하나의 카드에 들어있는 정보를 개인이 아닌 다수의 사용자가 서로 다른 PIN을 이용하여 카드 내에 있는 사용자 정보를 접근하여 개인 정보의 확인, 관리내용 업데이트, 내용에 따른 청구를 카드 하나로 가능하게 하였다. 이때 사용자 인증수단으로 사용되는 PIN의 보안성을 높이기 위해 개인별로 고유한 생체인식의 한 구성요소인 서명 데이터를 이용하여 패스워드가 가지는 보안상의 취약요소를 없애 보다 안전한 사용자 인증을 하고자 한다. 이러한 자바카드의 이용기술과 생체인식 및 다중PIN을 이용한 사용자 인증, 파일의 보안 등급의 차등적인 접근권한을 설계하고 마지막으로 비주얼한 응용프로그램을 구현함으로써 카드를 보다 안전하고 편리하게 사용할 수 있기를 기대한다.

Fingerprint recognition technology is used in many biometrics field accordingly essential feature of fingerprint image and the study is progressing. However development is not perfect in performance of the fingerprint recognition and application of the usual life. In the paper, we study various necessity of preprocessing according to algorithm and circumstances of authentication system in automatic information machine. We prove that system circumstance and optation of fingerprints image effectively is the important factor by using optical fingerprint input device and scanning the fingerprint in ID card. And then we present correct and fast computation method for improving image and feature extraction of fingerprint. Also we study effective algorithm implementation of total system.

Ear detection is an important part of an non-invasive ear recognition system. In this paper we propose human ear detection from side face images. The proposed method is made by imitating the human recognition process using feature information and color information. First, we search face candidate area in an input image by using 'skin-color model' and try to find an ear area based on edge information. Then, to verify whether it is the ear area or not, we use the SVM (Support Vector Machine) based on a statistical theory. The method shows high detection ratio in indoors environment with stable illumination.

As small sized bio-sensors and digital yarns are developed, digital wear measuring vital signs can be used for individuals' health, the elderly care and sports activities. This paper discusses a database structure for analyzing stress state, pulses, positions, exercise amount of user based on vital signs measured for 24 hours measured by the wear and GPS information, and a storage for storing XML documents following a standard HL7 meta-model. By analyzing the stored information, the system identifies the stress state and exercise amount of users. Pulses, exercise intensity and emergency situations can be also detected by the system in real time. This paper discusses the implementation of a system enabling to acquire and analyze vital signals to understand user behavior patterns.

본 논문에서는 보다 높은 보안 체계를 요구하는 환경에서 개인의 얼괄 인증과 RFID의 인증을 통한 다중 보안 시스템을 제안하고자 한다. 이 시스템은 추출된 얼굴 영상의 특징 벡터들을 각각 사용자의 태그에 저장하고 개인 인증 시 얼굴 영상의 입력과 비교 및 판독에 사용하도록 한다. 태그의 생체정보와 입력 얼굴영상에서 추출한 특징벡터가 일치하여야만 Database에 접근이 가능하며, 만약 하나라도 만족하지 못하면 인증은 실패한다. 이것은 사람의 얼굴뿐만 아니라 지문, 홍채 등의 생체인증 기술과 RFID와의 결합으로 보다 안전하고 효과적인 개인 인증 기술로 사용될 수 있을 것이다.

Biometric technologies using biometric information like fingerprints features are in wide use for the secure user authentication in many services including log-in of computer systems, entrance ID and E-commercial security. Nowadays, biometric technologies are ported into small embedded systems like security tokens or smart cards due to the merit of being secure and automatic in comparison with the previous method in user authentication such as using a PIN. In this paper, the security token developed as an embedded system and tile user authentication system implemented and tested using fingerprints information are described. Communications between the security token and tile host are tested and verified with USB. And, execution time and runtime memory on tile security token board was measured and performance improvement was described. In addition, requisites for the transit from the security token to the match-on-card was mentioned.

As the innovative technologies related to ubiquitous computing are being rapidly developed in recent IT trend, the concern for IT dysfunction(e.g., personal information abuse, information risk, threat, vulnerability, etc.) are also increasing. In our study, we suggested how to design and implement to multiple schemes for strong authentication mechanism in real system environments. We introduce the systematic and secure authentication technologies that resolve the threats incurring from the abuse and illegal duplication of financial transaction card in the public and financial institutions. The multiple schemes for strong authentication mechanism applied to java technology, so various application programs can be embedded, Independent of different platforms, to the smartcard by applying the consolidated authentication technologies based on encryption and biometrics(e.g., finger print identification). We also introduce the appropriate guidelines which can be easily implemented by the system developer and utilized from the software engineering standpoint of view. Further, we proposed ways to utilize java card based biometrics by developing and applying the 'smartcard class library' in order for the developer and engineers involved in real system environment(Secure entrance system) to easily understand the program. Lastly, we briefly introduced the potential for its future business application.
