An Electronic House Arrest Monitoring (EHAM) system of the present invention includes a transmitter attached to a monitored offender and a receiver positioned in the vicinity of the desired monitoring location. The transmitter and the receiver each have a pattern stored or generated therein for determining the interval of time between signal transmissions and receptions. The pattern is pseudo-random to offer improved protection against imposter transmitters, in other words the time intervals are selected to be unequal and randomly varying but the pattern is repeated or cycled to allow continuing signal transmission by the transmitter. The transmitter transmits signals at varying time intervals according to this pattern, and the receiver authenticates signals it receives as coming from the monitored transmitter based on the expected time intervals from the pattern. The pattern may include any number of time intervals and, in one embodiment, includes more than one subpattern to extend the length of the repeat cycle to increase the difficulty of defeating the monitoring system. As further protection against imposter devices, the receiver may verify the signals based on information unique to the transmitter included in each signal. The receiver may further use the received signals and unique time interval patterns to determine a number of operating states, including New Transmitter ID Received, Transmitter In Range and Locked to Transmitter, Transmitter In Range and Not Locked, Transmitter Out of Range, and Imposter Likely. The monitoring system may also include a remote host computer linked to the receiver or receivers to enable these operating states to be monitored remotely by enforcement personnel.

An iris authentication apparatus includes an iris area extraction unit, registration pattern generating unit, collation pattern generating unit, and collation unit. The iris area extraction unit extracts iris areas from a sensed registration eyeball image and a sensed collation eyeball image. When the iris area extraction unit extracts an iris area from the registration eyeball image, the registration pattern generating unit generates a registration iris pattern image by performing polar coordinate transformation of an image in the extracted iris area. When the iris area extraction unit extracts an iris area from the collation eyeball image, the collation pattern generating unit generates a collation iris pattern image by performing polar coordinate transformation of an image in the extracted iris area. The collation unit collates the registration iris pattern image output from the registration pattern generating unit and the collation iris pattern image output from the collation pattern generating unit on the basis of a correlation therebetween.

A text-dependent voice authentication system that performs authentication by urging a user to input a keyword by voice includes: an input part (11) that receives a voice input of a keyword divided into a plurality of portions with an utterable unit being a minimum unit over a plurality of times at a time interval for each of the portions; registered speaker-specific syllable model DB (20) that previously stores a registered keyword of a user as a speaker model created in the utterable unit; a feature value conversion part (12) that obtains a feature value of a voice contained in a portion of the keyword received by the first voice input in the input part (11) from the portion; a similarity calculation part (13) that obtains a similarity between the feature value and the speaker model; a keyword checking part (17) that determines whether or not voice inputs of all the syllables or phonemes configuring an entire registered keyword by the plurality of times of voice inputs, based on the similarity obtained in the similarity calculation part; and an authentication determination part (19) that determines whether to accept or reject authentication, based on a determination result in the keyword checking part and the similarity obtained in the similarity calculation part.

The invention provides a design method of a safety face verification system based on a CNN (convolutional neural network) feature extractor, belongs to the field of biological feature identification, and particularly relates to a method of utilizing the CNN to extract face features and using a Paillier algorithm and an oblivious transfer technique to encrypt. Compared with the SCiFi (secure computation of face identification) system, the method has the advantages that the manually extracted feature is converted into the CNN self-learning feature, and the CNN self-learning feature is performed with binarization to remove the noise effect, so that the identification accuracy is higher; the testing identification rate is 91.48% on a view 2 of an LFW (labeled face wild) base; in the whole identification process, a server will not obtain any feature information of a requester, and only receive the feature ciphertext information, but not decrypt; a client only obtains whether the identification is passed or not, and does not know the other information, including hamming distance; one face picture is expressed by the 320bit feature, and compared with the SCiFi system, the feature data volume is decreased by 2/3, so that the consumption time of encrypting and identification is low, and the real-time performance is high.

We provide quite a novel personal authentication system using heart sound waveform and/or breathing waveform pattern which promptly judges personal authentication of a person to be authenticated with a very high degree of accuracy. The personal authentication system is comprised of a waveform detection means which detects a heart sound waveform pattern and a means which compares a heart sound waveform pattern detected by the waveform detection means with a previously registered heart sound waveform pattern. If the detected heart sound waveform pattern coincides with the registered heart sound waveform pattern, the system authenticates the person to be identical. In such constitution, the system can check the autonomic heart sound which cannot be controlled by a personal will based on the previously registered heart sound waveform pattern in real time, and performs personal authentication of the person to be authenticated with very high accuracy promptly.

The present invention provides authentication equipment having functions for prevention of erroneous authentication using biometrics data, and which can reduce the burden of registration placed on users. The authentication equipment is characterized in comprising an input portion, which generates primitive-format information of biological characteristics based on biological characteristics specific to individuals; a primary information extraction portion, which extracts primary information identifying the biological characteristics from the primitive-format information; a secondary information extraction portion, which extracts, as secondary information, a part of the primitive-format information using the primary information; a registration portion, which stores in a storage portion the secondary information extracted by the secondary information extraction portion; and a verification portion, which compares the secondary information extracted by the secondary information extraction portion with secondary information stored in the storage portion, and judges whether authentication has been successful.

The invention belongs to information electronic field, integrating RFID technique with bio-character recognition technique to implement two authentication mode-complementary intelligent authentication terminal systems and besides, implementing reliable instruction executing operation by the RFID technique and bio-character recognition technique. When an operator holding an electronic tag with right information sends operating instructions to intelligent terminal, a RFID system finds out the right information and bio-character information corresponding to the electronic tag, and makes bio-character recognition on the operator by bio-character recognition data collector, and executes the instruction the operator sends after authentication passes. Thus, the operators with different rights can execute different operations in different read regions by electronic tag, and the authentication course and operation are united in a terminal.
