Identity authentication method and device

Abstract

The invention discloses an identity authentication method and a device, belonging to the communication and computer technical field. The method comprises the following steps: reading the card information of an integrated circuit (IC) card, and authenticating the IC card according to the card information; when IC card authentication is successful, reading facial feature data from the IC card; and authenticating the identity of a cardholder according to the facial feature data of the cardholder and the facial feature data read from the IC card. The invention also discloses an identity authentication device. The security of user identity authentication can be improved by using the method and the device of the invention. In the invention, an embedded CPU is used to carry out double authentication of the IC card and the facial feature data. Compared with the prior art using a bulky PC application system, the invention has simple structure, easy installation and use and easy popularization, can be widely applied to an access control system, an attendance system and other intelligent application systems, and can carry out intelligent control on different authorities in the systems, thus meeting the demands of different users.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical fields of communication and computer, in particular to an identity authentication method and device. Background technique [0002] There are many fields that require identity authentication in real life, such as: customs, banks, confidential departments, companies, etc. There are also many methods that can be used as identity authentication, such as: passport, ID card, work permit, password, work card, etc. However, these methods have the disadvantages of being easily lost and forged, and are not sufficiently safe and reliable. With the development of science and technology, the use of human biometrics as identity authentication has gradually been realized. Due to the uniqueness of human biological characteristics, more accurate identity authentication, and less likely to be stolen, more and more fields that require identity authentication use human biological characteristics as the basis for identity authentica...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0005] The present invention adopts face recognition as the basis of identity authentication, adopts IC card and face double authentication, fundamentally avoids the shortcoming that certificates and IC cards are easily used and forged as identity authentication; The combination of technologies solves the problem of insufficient storage space for embedded face recognition devices and promotes the promotion of embedded identity authentication applications
