일반적으로 지문 인식 알고리즘을 구현하기 위해서 전처리와 후처리를 거쳐 정합과 등록 등의 일률적인 과정을 거치게 된다. 하지만 사람의 지문은 개인의 생체학적 특성에 따라 많은 차이를 보인다. 본 논문에서는 두 가지 목적을 위하여 연구되었는데 첫 번째는 획득된 지문영상의 특성을 최대한 이용한 적응성 알고리즘의 개발이다. 보통 획득된 지문영상의 경우 좋은 품질의 영상과 손가락이 건조한 사람의 흐린 영상, 그리고 손가락이 젖은 사람에게서 나타나는 진한 영상 등의 크게 나누어 3가지로 나누어 볼 수 있는데 하나의 알고리즘을 통한 처리보다는 각 지문영상에서 적당한 알고리즘을 적용하는 것이 더욱 좋은 결과를 얻게 된다. 두 번째로 라인센서에서 얻은 낮은 품질의 영상을 처리하기 위한 알고리즘을 제안한다. 라인센서의 사용으로 인한 장점을 최대한 이용하여 지문인식 시스템을 개발하기 위한 목적을 갖는다.

본 논문은 기존의 OTP(One-Time Password) 시스템의 한계와 약점을 해결하기 위하여 지문인식을 활용한 OTP 시스템에 대하여 연구를 진행하였다. OTP 시스템 자체가 높은 보안성을 가지고 있지만, 은행에서 발급하는 OTP는 생성 버튼만 누르면 비밀번호가 생성되기 때문에, 분실 및 도난 상황에서 2차 인증에 대한 보안이 허술해 질 수 밖에 없다. 본 연구에서는 지문인식 기반 OTP 시스템의 개발 방법을 마련하여 사회적으로 보안에 대한 인식을 높이고, 동시에 사용자의 편의성을 높이기 위한 방법을 제시하고자 한다.

In this paper, we propose a post-processing algorithm to remove false minutiae which decrease the overall performance of an automatic fingerprint identification system by increasing computational complexity, FAR(False Acceptance Rate), and FRR(False Rejection Rate) in matching process. The proposed algorithm extracts candidate minutiae from thinned fingerprint image. Considering characteristics of the thinned fingerprint image, the algorithm selects the minutiae that may be false and located in recoverable area. If the area where the selected minutiae reside is thinned incorrectly due to noise and loss of information, the algorithm recovers the area and the selected minutiae are removed from the candidate minutiae list. By examining the ridge pattern of the block where the candidate minutiae are found, true minutiae are recovered and in contrast, false minutiae are filtered out. In an experiment, Fingerprint images from NIST special database 14 are tested and the result shows that the proposed algorithm reduces the false minutiae extraction rate remarkably and increases the overall performance of an automatic fingerprint identification system.

As the internet environment is applied in the various service field, the recognition on security is increasing. Because the authentication methods for web service user do not confirm person oneself, the serious problems of reliability, safety and security can be caused. In order to solve this problems, the authentication methods of user id and password or authentication key is used. Because the password and authentication key using the existent authentication methods for security is composed of a string, authentication information can easily hacked or leaked by hackers, and the serious problems of security can be caused. In this paper, in order to improve the web security, an authentication module using the fingerprint that have the unique properties of person is proposed. As the proposed module makes use of fingerprint authentication, the security of the web service user from hackers can be maintained. The proposed method is more excellent than the existent method in the web security.

Recently, with the advance of network and internet technologies, it is appeared the Problem that the digital contents such as image, voice and video are illegally pirated and distributed. To protect the copyright of the digital contents, the digital watermarking technology of inserting the provider's information into the contents has been widely used. In this paper, we propose the method of applying the digital watermarking into biometric information such as fingerprint and iris in order to prevent the problem caused by steal and misuse. For that, we propose the method of inserting watermark in frequency domain, compare the recognition performance before and aster watermark inserting. Also, we experiment the robustness of proposed method against blurring attack, which is conventionally taken on biometrics data. Experimental results show that our proposed method can be used for protecting iris and fingerprint data, efficiently.

The purpose of this paper is to measure the level of difficulty of fingerprint database based on sample quality. This paper proposes distribution of a sample quality analyzer and a difference of sample quality analyzer to measure the level of difficulty. Experimental results demonstrate that there are stronger correlation between matching performance and level of difficulty based on difference of sample quality than other measure. Especially, level of difficulty based on OQ Block of MPQ co-occurrence matrix shows highest correlation with matching performance, and moreover it can predict the matching performance of unknown databases.

In the fintech field, financial transactions with smart phones are actively conducted. User authentication technology is essential for safe financial transactions. PIN authentication through the existing security keypads is convenient to input but has weaknesses in security and others. The biometric authentication technique is secure, but there is a possibility of false positive and false negative authentication. To compensate for this, two-factor authentication is used. In this paper, we propose the 1.5-factor authentication that can increase convenience and security through PIN input with biometric authentication. It provides the stability of fingerprint authentication and convenience of two or three PIN inputs, and this makes safe financial transaction possible. Since biometric authentication is performed at the same time when entering PIN, while security is required by applying fingerprint authentication to the area touched while entering PIN. The User authentication is performed while ensuring convenience to input through additional PIN input in situations where high safety is required, and Safe financial transactions are possible.

Recently, as elderly people suffering from chronic diseases have increased and disasters such as traffic accidents have increased, urgent rescue workers and doctors need to respond effectively to such emergencies. For elderly people, the difficulty in communicating their condition especially the health condition during disaster is one of the problems in which delay on immediate handling by rescue team can cause death. Providing a solution for this problem is one of the main issues in our research. In this paper, we use the QR code to communicate the minimum personal information and medical history needed for emergency medical treatment to emergency medical personnel, and to transmit the medical history and treatment data to the doctors of the hospital through QR code and fingerprint recognition, respectively. Especially, by using both QR code of smart phone and fingerprint of individual, we can protects personal information and strengthens privacy and security of medical information by allowing only authorized physicians to check medical records of the old patient.

This paper presents a wavelet-based watermarking algorithm to securely hide biometric features such as face and fingerprint and effectively extract them with less distortion of the concealed data. To hide the biometric features, we proposed a determination method of insert location based on wavelet transform and adaptive weight method according to the image characteristics. The hidden features are effectively extracted by applying the inverse wavelet transform to the watermarked image. To show the effectiveness, we analyze the various performance such as PSNR and correlation of watermark features before and after applying watermarking. Also, we evaluate the effect of watermaking algorithm with respect to biometric system such as recognition rate. Recognition rate shows 98.67% for multimodal biometric systems consisted of face and fingerprint. From these, we confirm that the proposed method makes it possible to effectively hide and extract the biometric features without lowering recognition rate.
