Recently, in the security token based authentication system, there is an increasing trend of using fingerprint for the token holder verification, instead of passwords. However, the security of the fingerprint data is particularly important as the possible compromise of the data will be permanent. In this paper, we propose an approach for secure fingerprint verification by distributing both the secret and the computation based on the fuzzy vault(a cryptographic construct which has been proposed for crypto-biometric systems). That is, a user fingerprint template which is applied to the fuzzy vault is divided into two parts, and each part is stored into a security token and a server, respectively. At distributing the fingerprint template, we consider both the security level and the verification accuracy. Then, the geometric hashing technique is applied to solve the fingerprint alignment problem, and this computation is also distributed over the combination of the security token and the server in the form of the challenge-response. Finally, the polynomial can be reconstructed from the accumulated real points from both the security token and the server. Based on the experimental results, we confirm that our proposed approach can perform the fuzzy vault-based fingerprint verification more securely on a combination of a security token and a server without significant degradation of the verification accuracy.

In the case of the password-based PKI technology, because it protects by using the password which is easy that user memorizes the private key, he has the problem about the password exposure. In addition, in the system of electronic bidding, the illegal use using the authentic certificate of the others increases. Recently, in order to solve this problem, the research about the PKI technology using the biometrics is actively progressed. If the bio information which the user inputs for the bio authentication is converted to the template, the digest access authentication in which the security is strengthened than the existing authentication technology can be built. Therefore, in this paper, we had designed and developed the system of electronic bidding which it uses the most widely used fingerprint information in the biometrics, it stores the user fingerprint information and certificate in the fingerprint security token and can authenticate the user. In case of using the system of electronic bidding of the public key infrastructure using the fingerprint information proposed in this paper the agent bid problem that it uses the certificate of the others in not only user authentication intensification but also system of electronic bidding can be concluded.

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.

In the modern electronic world, the authentication of a person is an important task in many areas of online-transactions. Using biometrics to authenticate a person's identity has several advantages over the present practices of Personal Identification Numbers(PINs) and passwords. To gain maximum security in the verification system using biometrics, the computation of the verification as well as the store of the biometric pattern has to be taken place in the security token(smart card, USB token). However, there is an open issue of integrating biometrics into the security token because of its limited resources(memory space, processing power). In this paper, we describe our implementation of the USB security token system having 206MHz StrongARM CPU, 16MBytes flash memory, and 1MBytes RAM. Also, we evaluate the performance of a light-weighted In-gerprint verification algorithm that can be executed in the restricted environments. Based on experimental results, we confirmed that the RAM requirement of the proposed algorithm was about 6.8 KBytes and the Equal Error Rate(EER) was 1.7%.

As the applications within Mobile devices becoming more extensive, the mobile communication security issues of these applications and researches are appearing to be the most important concern. In this paper, we propose new integration OTP framework technique which uses the fingerprint and voice features of biometrics in order to generate Mobile One Time Passwords (OTPs) Token. The fingerprint and voice are considered to be one of the powerful personal authentication factors of biometrics and it can be used for generating variable passwords based on mobile environments for one time use. However, we performed a simulation of homomorphic variability of fingerprint and voice feature points using dendrogram and distribution of fingerprint and voice feature points for proposed password generation method, and verified validation of availability.

급격한 전파를 이용하는 기기의 다양화와 대중화로 인해 많은 전파 관련 보안 문제들이 일어나고 있다. 전파와 생활에서의 안전은 매우 밀접한데 전파의 방해와 교란은 단순 생활의 불편뿐 아니라 신체의 직접적인 피해를 입힐 수도 있기 때문에 전파보호는 매우 중요한 과제이다. 본 내용에서는 그 대안으로 본문의 전파 교란과 교섭을 막기 위한 방안으로 생체정보인 지문을 이용한 암호화된 토큰을만들어 토큰링을 통한 정보의 수신여부를 결정 하여 인증 강도, 호출자의 정보 등이 포함된 동적 보안 속성을 가진 수평 전파를 전송하고 java직렬화와 직렬화 해제 기능을 이용하여 토큰의 고유성을 확인수평전파를 송 수신 하여 해당 문제점을 해결 하고자 제안하였다.
