Biometric Authentication for Wireless Terminal Security
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing wireless communication systems are vulnerable to spoofing attacks, particularly when authentication information is stolen or complex to manage, and methods involving physical button presses are susceptible to wireless interference.
Innovation Solution
An information processing terminal that uses biological sensors to authenticate and establish connections with other terminals by measuring and comparing biological information, such as pulse waves, to securely communicate without the need for complex authentication information or memorization.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If authentication information is made complicated to ensure security, then security is improved, but user convenience deteriorates as users need to manage and remember the information
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces traditional mechanical authentication methods (passwords, keys, certificates) with a biological authentication system using pulse wave recognition. The pulse wave authentication unit captures and analyzes the user's pulse wave characteristics to authenticate identity, eliminating the need for users to remember complex authentication information while maintaining high security through unique physiological characteristics.
2Reliability
If physical button presses are used for authentication, then user verification is achieved, but the system becomes susceptible to wireless spoofing attacks
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces physical button press authentication with pulse wave-based biological authentication. The pulse wave authentication unit captures the user's pulse wave signals and analyzes their unique characteristics to verify identity. This biological authentication method is resistant to wireless spoofing attacks because pulse wave characteristics are inherent physiological properties that cannot be easily replicated or intercepted remotely.
3Ease of operation
If wireless communication is enabled for convenience, then connectivity is improved, but the system becomes vulnerable to spoofing attacks by malicious third parties
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements pulse wave authentication as a preliminary verification step before establishing wireless communication connections. The pulse wave authentication unit verifies the user's identity through pulse wave analysis before allowing the wireless communication unit to establish connections, ensuring that only authenticated users can initiate or access wireless communications, thereby preventing spoofing attacks while maintaining convenience.

AI summary
An information processing terminal capable of communicating with a sensor terminal including a first biological sensor which measures a first type of biological information includes: a reception unit receiving a measurement result of the first biological sensor from the sensor terminal; a second biological sensor measuring the first type of biological information; and a control unit authenticating the sensor terminal and establishing connection with the sensor terminal when the measurement result of the first biological sensor satisfies a predetermined condition on a measurement result of the second biological sensor.
