The present invention relates to an authentication system having a plurality of authentication devices using biometric information.
2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, authentication apparatuses using biometric information (biometric patterns) indicating individual physical characteristics (for example, fingerprints, irises of eyes, voice prints, vein patterns, etc.) have been put into practical use. This type of authentication device is used, for example, to authenticate an individual when unlocking a door or logging in a computer or a mobile phone.
Patent Document 1 describes a technique for authenticating an individual using both a fingerprint and a voiceprint as biometric information in a door opening / closing system.
Patent Document 2 describes a configuration in which a fingerprint verification device is provided at each of a plurality of gates in an entrance / exit management system using fingerprint verification. Here, personal information including fingerprint data is registered in the host device. With this configuration, the latest fingerprint data that is frequently used is efficiently managed.
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 3-241182 (second page of the specification, FIG. 3) JP-A-9-198501 (paragraphs 0009 to 0012 of the specification, FIG. 1)
In an authentication system including a plurality of authentication devices, conventionally, as described in Patent Document 2 described above, biometric information is registered in a server provided separately from the authentication device. However, in this configuration, every time authentication processing is executed in the authentication device, it is necessary to download biometric information from the server to the authentication device, which increases the load on the network and causes information leakage. Also, with this configuration, if any failure occurs in the server, there is a possibility that the operations of all the authentication devices are stopped.
An object of the present invention is to improve security in an authentication system having a plurality of authentication devices using biometric information. Another object of the present invention is to facilitate biometric information registration work in the authentication system.
The authentication system of the present invention has a plurality of authentication devices. And each authentication apparatus transfers the biometric information acquired by the acquisition means which respectively acquires biometric information, the registration means which registers the biometric information acquired by the said acquisition means, and the said acquisition means to another authentication apparatus. A transfer unit; and an authentication unit that authenticates the individual using the biometric information registered in the registration unit.
According to this invention, the biometric information input in a certain authentication device is registered in the authentication device and transferred to another authentication device. Thereby, a user's biometric information can be registered in each authentication apparatus, and each authentication apparatus can perform a user's identity confirmation using the biometric information registered into the own apparatus.
In the authentication system, a registration permission / prohibition setting means for setting permission / prohibition of registration of biometric information for each authentication apparatus and for each user is further provided, and the transfer means permits biometric information of each user by the registration permission / prohibition setting means. Alternatively, it may be transferred only to the authenticated device. According to this configuration, the user's biometric information can be registered only in a desired authentication device.
The authentication system further includes grouping means for grouping the plurality of authentication devices into a plurality of groups including a first group and a second group, and transferring means for authentication devices belonging to the first group. When the acquisition unit of the authentication device acquires biometric information, the biometric information is immediately transferred to another authentication device belonging to the first group, and for the authentication device belonging to the second group, The biometric information may be transferred when a predetermined trigger occurs. According to this configuration, biometric information is immediately transferred only to a predetermined authentication device (for example, an authentication device that needs to rush registration work), and other authentication devices (for example, authentication that does not require rushing registration work). Biological information will be transferred to the device later. Therefore, it is possible to avoid system congestion caused by the transfer of biometric information.
According to the present invention, biometric information is transferred between authentication devices at the time of registration, but biometric information is not output to each authentication device at the time of user identification. Therefore, the security of the authentication system having a plurality of authentication devices is improved. Further, since biometric information input from an arbitrary authentication device is transferred to one or more other authentication devices, a server for managing the biometric information is unnecessary.
Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Below, the form where the authentication system concerning the present invention is applied to the entrance / exit system which controls opening and closing of a door is explained. However, the present invention is not limited to this form, and may be used to authenticate an individual when logging in, for example, a computer or a mobile phone.
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an authentication system according to an embodiment of the present invention. The authentication system 1 of the embodiment includes a plurality of authentication devices 10 (authentication devices 10a and 10b in the example shown in FIG. 1) connected to each other via a communication line 51. The communication line 51 is not particularly limited, and may be a wireless line.
Each authentication device 10 is connected to the electric lock 54 of the door 53 via the control panel 52 and controls the locking / unlocking of the electric lock 54. Then, the authentication device 10 confirms the identity of a person who attempts to enter or leave the door 53 (hereinafter sometimes referred to as “user”), and if the identity of the user is successful, the authentication device The control panel 52 unlocks the electric lock 54 in accordance with the unlocking instruction. On the other hand, if the user identification fails, the electric lock 54 is not unlocked. Of course, when a predetermined time elapses after unlocking, or when it is detected that the door 53 is opened and closed, the electric lock 54 is locked, and the next user is ready to operate.
Each of the authentication devices 10 includes a database, and the biometric information of the user is registered in advance in the database. The biometric information is electronic data representing a person's physical characteristics (for example, a fingerprint, a iris of a pupil, a voice print, a vein pattern such as a palm, etc.), although not particularly limited. The biometric information is input and registered from an arbitrary authentication device (in the example illustrated in FIG. 1, the authentication device 10a) among the plurality of authentication devices 10. Then, the biometric information input from any authentication device is transferred to another authentication device (in the example shown in FIG. 1, the authentication device 10b). Thereby, the biometric information of the user is registered in each authentication device 10.
When the user enters or leaves the door 53, the user performs identity verification in the authentication device 10. That is, the user inputs his / her biometric information in the authentication device 10. Then, the authentication device 10 collates the previously registered biometric information with the newly input biometric information. Then, the unlocking of the electric lock 54 is controlled according to the result.
At this time, the authentication device 10 performs the matching process using the biometric information registered in the device itself. That is, the user's biometric information is not transmitted via the communication line 51 during the verification process. Therefore, the possibility of information leakage is reduced and security can be improved. In a configuration in which biometric information is registered in a server provided on the network, the corresponding biometric information is transmitted / received via a communication line every time verification processing is performed, which increases the possibility of information leakage and security. May decrease.
FIG. 2 is a configuration diagram of the authentication device 10. The biometric information input unit 11 is a sensor for detecting the biometric information of the user. For example, when registering a user's fingerprint or vein pattern as biometric information, the biometric information input unit 11 includes an optical reading device. The biometric information input unit 11 allows a user to input biometric information when registering biometric information and when performing user identification.
The key input unit 12 is an operation panel for allowing a user to input numbers or characters. The numbers input via the key input unit 12 are processed by the control unit 20. The display unit 13 displays a message to be notified to the user. The displayed message is created by the control unit 20. Also, voice guidance may be output instead of displaying a message on the display unit 13.
The communication unit 14 is connected to the communication line 51 and transmits / receives data (including biometric information and control data) to / from other authentication devices in accordance with instructions from the control unit 20. Communication protocol processing, packet assembly / disassembly processing, and the like are executed by the communication unit 14. The communication protocol is not particularly limited, but is, for example, TCP / IC. The I / O interface 15 transmits and receives signals to and from the control panel 52.
The storage unit 16 is a rewritable recording device, and biometric information is registered. The biometric information is registered in the storage unit 16 after being encrypted by the encryption / decryption unit 18. The authentication unit 17 collates the biometric information registered in the storage unit 16 with biometric information newly input via the biometric information input unit 11 when the user is identified. The encryption / decryption unit 18 encrypts and decrypts biometric information.
The tamper resistant unit 19 operates in cooperation with the authentication device 10 or unauthorized access to the authentication device 10 (particularly, unauthorized access to the storage unit 16 (unauthorized reading, unauthorized writing, falsification, etc.). When there is an unauthorized access to the device (in the example shown in FIG. 1, the control panel 52 and the electric lock 54), the biometric information registered in the storage unit 16 is forcibly deleted. Thereby, leakage of biometric information is avoided.
The control unit 20 controls the overall operation of the authentication device 10 by causing the units 11 to 19 to operate in a coordinated manner.
When registering biometric information in the authentication device 10, the user inputs his or her biometric information using the biometric information input unit 11 in accordance with a guidance message displayed on the display unit 13. At this time, the user also inputs other personal information through the key input unit 12. As other personal information, a registration number assigned to each individual in advance (for example, an employee number in the case of a company employee) is input.
The input biometric information is encrypted by the encryption / decryption unit 18 and stored in the storage unit 16. At this time, the encrypted biometric information is registered in the biometric information database 31 constructed in the storage unit 16 in association with the registration number of the user, as shown in FIG.
The biometric information registered as described above is transferred to another authentication device. That is, the communication unit 14 transfers the biometric information of each user stored in the storage unit 16 to one or a plurality of other authentication devices 10 via the communication line 51. At this time, the biometric information is transferred in an encrypted state. In addition, the corresponding registration number is transferred together with the biometric information.
On the other hand, the communication unit 14 can receive the biometric information (and the corresponding registration number) transmitted from another authentication device via the communication line 51. The received biological information is registered in the storage unit 16. As described above, not only the biological information input via the biological information input 11 but also the biological information input in another authentication device is registered in the storage unit 16.
When the user confirms the identity, the user inputs a registration number via the key input unit 12 according to the guidance message displayed on the display unit 13 and uses the biometric information input unit 11 to check his / her own biometric information. Enter. Then, the control unit 20 sends the input biometric information to the authentication unit 17. Also, corresponding biometric information is extracted from the storage unit 16 using the input registration number as a search key. Subsequently, the biometric information extracted from the storage unit 16 is combined in the encryption / decomposition unit 18 and sent to the authentication unit 17. Then, the authentication unit 17 collates the biometric information newly input from the biometric information input unit 11 with the biometric information extracted from the storage unit 16 and notifies the control unit 20 of the result.
When the identity verification is successful through the above verification, the control unit 20 transmits an instruction to unlock the electric lock 54 to the control panel 52 via the I / O interface 15. As a result, the user can enter or exit from the door 53. Of course, when a predetermined time elapses after unlocking, or when it is detected that the door 53 is opened and closed, the electric lock 54 is locked, and the next user is ready to operate. On the other hand, when the identity verification fails, the control unit 20 displays the fact on the display unit 13. That is, the electric lock 54 is not unlocked, and the user cannot enter or leave the room through the door 53.
FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of a procedure for registering biometric information in the authentication system 1 according to the embodiment. Here, four authentication devices 10 a to 10 d are connected to each other via a communication line 51. Authentication devices 10a and 10c are authentication devices 10 installed on the entrance side and exit side of door 53a, respectively. Authentication devices 10b and 10d are authentication devices installed on the entrance side and exit side of door 53b, respectively. 10.
The management server 61 performs status management and log management of the authentication system 1. That is, the management server 61 records, for example, who has entered or exited from what door at what time and by using notifications from the authentication devices 10a to 10d, for example. However, the management server 61 does not store the biometric information of each user.
In the authentication system 1 configured as described above, it is assumed that a certain user registers his / her biological information using the authentication device 10a. In this case, first, biometric information input using the authentication device 10a is registered in the storage unit 16 included in the authentication device 10a. Subsequently, the authentication device 10a transfers the biometric information to the other authentication devices 10b to 10d via the communication line 51. Each of the authentication devices 10b to 10d registers the received biometric information in the storage unit 16 in the device itself, and further returns a registration completion flag to the authentication device 10a. Thereby, the same biometric information is registered in the authentication devices 10a to 10d.
FIG. 5 is an example of a registration management table. The registration management table 32 manages whether the biometric information of each user is registered for each authentication device. Here, as shown in FIG. 6, the biometric information (pattern 1) of the user identified by the registration number 00122 is registered in the authentication devices 10a, 10b, 10c, and 10d, and is identified by the registration number 00123. The biometric information (pattern 2) of the user is registered in the authentication devices 10a and 10c, and the biometric information (pattern 3) of the user identified by the registration number 00124 is registered in the authentication device 10a. To do.
In the registration management table 32, “registration complete” indicates that biometric information has already been registered in the corresponding authentication device. On the other hand, “not registered” indicates that biometric information is not yet registered in the corresponding authentication device. Therefore, it is necessary to register the biometric information in the authentication device in which “not registered” is set. In the example shown in FIG. 5, it is necessary to register the biometric information (pattern 3) of the user identified by the registration number 00124 in the authentication devices 10b, 10c, and 10d. Therefore, in this case, the authentication device 10a in which the biometric information (pattern 3) is registered needs to be transferred to the authentication devices 10b, 10c, and 10d.
“Unregisterable” displays that the biometric information of the user is not registered in the authentication device. In the example shown in FIG. 5, it is prohibited to register the user's biometric information (pattern 2) identified by the registration number 00123 in the authentication devices 10b and 10d. In this case, since the biometric information of the user is not registered in the authentication devices 10b and 10d, the user cannot enter or exit from the door 53b in the entrance / exit system shown in FIG. Note that “registration not possible” is set via the management server 61 by the administrator of the entry / exit system, for example.
For example, the registration management table 32 is provided in each authentication device 10. In this case, the registration management table 32 may be created in the storage unit 16. And each authentication apparatus 10 should just synchronize the contents of the registration management table 32 mutually. That is, when the registration management table 32 is updated in a certain authentication device 10, the updated content is notified to other authentication devices. Thereby, the synchronization of the registration management table 32 can be established in each authentication apparatus 10. The registration management table 32 may be provided in the management server 61. In this case, it is not necessary to exchange the registration management table 32 between the authentication devices. However, when each authentication device newly inputs biometric information during registration, when transferring biometric information to another authentication device, It is necessary to access the management server 61 when the transfer is completed.
FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing a procedure for registering biometric information. Here, a case where biometric information is transferred according to the procedure shown in FIG. In addition, this flowchart shows the operation of the authentication apparatus to which biometric information is input at the time of registration.
In step S1, the user is requested to input a registration number (ID). When an ID is input by the user, in step S2, it is checked whether the ID is an ID that can be registered in the device. When an ID that cannot be registered is input (for example, when an ID that is not scheduled by the entry / exit system is input), a warning message for requesting re-input of the ID is displayed in step S11.
In step S3, it is checked whether or not the input ID already exists in the biological information database 31. If the input ID already exists, a warning message indicating that biometric information has already been registered is displayed in step S11.
In step 4, the user is requested to input biometric information. Thus, the user inputs his / her biological information. Subsequently, in step S5, the ID acquired in step S1 and the biological information acquired in step S4 are associated with each other and registered in the biological information database 31. At this time, at least biometric information is encrypted by the encryption / decryption unit 18 and then stored in the biometric information database 31.
In step S6, a corresponding registration completion flag is set in the registration management table 32. For example, the example shown in FIG. 5 shows a state in which the corresponding registration completion flag is set when the biometric information of the user identified by the registration number 00124 is registered in the authentication device 10a.
In steps S7 to S8, the registration management table 32 is referred to search for an authentication device to which the biometric information acquired in step S4 is to be transferred. Specifically, an authentication device in which “not registered” is set in the newly generated record is searched. For example, in the example illustrated in FIG. 5, when the biometric information of the user identified by the registration number 00124 is registered in the authentication device 10a, the authentication devices 10b, 10c, and 10d are obtained.
When an authentication device to which biometric information is to be transferred is searched, in step 9, the ID acquired in step S1 and the biometric information acquired in step S4 are transmitted to one of them. At this time, it is assumed that at least the biometric information is encrypted by the encryption / decryption unit 18. Accordingly, the user ID and the biometric information are registered in association with each other in the authentication device of the transmission destination. In addition, it is assumed that the authentication device at the transmission destination returns a registration completion flag together with the device ID of the authentication device. Then, in step S10, the device ID of the biometric information transmission destination authentication device and the registration completion flag are received.
When the apparatus ID and the registration completion flag are received in step S10, the process returns to step S6, and the corresponding registration completion flag in the registration management table 32 is set according to the received information. Thereafter, the processes in steps S6 to S10 are repeatedly executed until there is no authentication device to which the biometric information is to be transferred (that is, until there is no authentication device for which “not registered” is set in the registration management table 32).
When there is no authentication device to which biometric information is to be transferred, the registration management table 32 updated in step S6 is distributed to all other authentication devices in step S12. Here, “all authentication devices” include authentication devices for which “registration impossible” is set in the registration management table 32. Thereby, the contents of the registration management table 32 can be matched with each other in all the authentication devices. When the registration management table 32 is provided in the management server 61, step S12 is not executed.
FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the operation of the authentication apparatus that receives biometric information from the authentication apparatus shown in FIG. In step S21, the user ID and biometric information are received via the communication line 51. Subsequently, in step S22, the received ID and biological information are registered in the biological information database 31. In step S23, the device ID of the device itself and the registration completion flag are returned to the transmission source of the biometric information. Thereby, step S10 shown in FIG. 7 is executed in the authentication device that is the source of the biometric information.
Thus, in the authentication system 1, when the user's biometric information is registered in an arbitrary authentication device, the authentication device transfers the biometric information to one or more other authentication devices. At this time, the biometric information may be transferred to all other authentication devices, or may be transferred only to a predetermined desired authentication device. Thereby, the biometric information of the user can be registered in all or desired authentication devices.
Further, since the biometric information transferred from one authentication device to another authentication device is only information newly registered in the authentication device, the amount of data transmitted and received is small, and the communication line is not burdened.
FIG. 9 is a diagram showing another embodiment of the procedure for registering biometric information. Here, the system configuration is the same as that of the authentication system 1 shown in FIG.
In the procedure shown in FIG. 4, biometric information input from an arbitrary authentication device (10a) is transferred from the authentication device to one or more other authentication devices. On the other hand, in the procedure shown in FIG. 9, biometric information input from an arbitrary authentication device (10a) is transferred to a predetermined authentication device (10c). Thereafter, the biometric information is sequentially transferred to subsequent authentication devices (10b, 10d) according to a predetermined order. Each authentication device registers the biometric information received from the previous authentication device in the biometric information database 31 of its own device. At this time, each authentication device completes registration with the authentication device to which biometric information is first input (in FIG. 9, it is the authentication device 10a, and may be referred to as “original authentication device” below). Return the flag. According to this procedure, the load on the original authentication device is reduced.
FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing the operation of the authentication device (original authentication device) to which biometric information is input in the procedure shown in FIG. Steps S1 to S6, S11, and S12 are the same as those described with reference to FIG. That is, when a user ID and biological information are input, they are registered in the biological information database 31.
In step 31, the registration management table 32 is referred to search for an authentication device to which biometric information is to be registered next. In this example, the order in which biometric information is registered (for example, authentication devices 10a → 10c → 10b → 10d) is determined in advance, and the order can be known by referring to the registration management table 32. To do. In step S32, the ID acquired in step S1 and the biological information acquired in step S4 are transmitted to the extracted authentication device.
In steps S33 to S36, it is confirmed that the registration processing has been completed in all (or predetermined predetermined) authentication apparatuses. That is, every time a registration completion flag is received from another authentication apparatus, the registration management table 32 is updated, and the process is terminated when the registration completion flag is set for all the authentication apparatuses.
FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing the operation of the authentication apparatus that receives biometric information from the preceding authentication apparatus in the procedure shown in FIG. In steps S21 to S22, as described with reference to FIG. 8, the ID and the biological information received via the communication line 51 are registered in the biological information database 31. In step S41, the device ID of the device itself and the registration completion flag are transmitted to the original authentication device. Thereby, steps S35 and S36 shown in FIG. 10 are executed in the original authentication apparatus.
In step 42, the registration management table 32 is referred to search for an authentication device to register biometric information next. In step S43, the ID and the biometric information stored in the biometric information database 31 are transmitted to the extracted authentication device.
In this way, each authentication device other than the original authentication device registers the biometric information received from the previous authentication device in its own device and transfers it to the subsequent authentication device. Thereby, the user's biometric information is registered in each authentication device.
FIG. 12 is a flowchart of the re-registration process executed in cooperation with the tamper resistance process. The tamper resistant process is a process for protecting information from unauthorized access, and is executed by the tamper resistant unit 19.
If unauthorized access is detected in step S51, steps S52 to S55 are executed. Here, unauthorized access refers to, for example, unauthorized reading, unauthorized writing, falsification, or the like of biometric information stored in the storage unit 16, or the control panel 52 and the electric lock 54 that operate in cooperation with the authentication device 10. Corresponding to unauthorized access to.
In step S <b> 52, the biometric information stored in the storage unit 16 is forcibly deleted by the tamper unit 19. In step S53, biometric information is requested from another authentication apparatus. At this time, to which authentication device the request message is transmitted is not particularly limited. For example, a main authentication device is determined in advance from a plurality of authentication devices, and the request message is transmitted to the authentication device. You may make it do. Further, it is desirable that this request message is transmitted after the recovery process for unauthorized access is completed. Furthermore, before the request message is transmitted, all the authentication devices may be notified that the tamper resistant process has been executed. It is assumed that the authentication device that has received the request message returns the corresponding biometric information.
In step S54, biometric information sent from another authentication apparatus is received. In step S55, the biometric information is re-registered in the storage unit 16.
Thus, in the authentication system of this embodiment, when biometric information is deleted due to unauthorized access, the corresponding biometric information can be automatically acquired from another authentication device and re-registered thereafter. it can. Therefore, system maintenance is easy.
Further, in a system in which biometric information is collectively managed by a server, the operation of the entire authentication system stops if there is unauthorized access to the server. For example, when the authentication system is applied to an entrance / exit system, it becomes impossible to control opening / closing of all doors. On the other hand, in the authentication system 1 of the present invention, only the operation of the authentication device that has been illegally accessed is stopped, and other authentication devices are not affected. That is, the convenience of the authentication system is improved.
In the above-described example, the procedure for requesting biometric information from another authentication apparatus after the tamper resistance process has been performed has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this. That is, for example, biometric information may be requested from another authentication device after erasing biometric information for other reasons, or may be requested periodically regardless of erasure / deletion of biometric information. Also good.
By the way, in the above-described embodiment, when biometric information of a user is registered in a certain authentication device, the biometric information is immediately transferred to another authentication device. However, the present invention is not limited to this method. For example, a plurality of authentication devices belonging to the authentication system may be grouped into two or more groups, and the transfer timing may be changed for each group.
In the example illustrated in FIG. 13A, the authentication system 1 includes six authentication devices 10a to 10f. The authentication devices 10a to 10c are installed in the building A, and the authentication devices 10d to 10f are installed in the building B. In this case, the authentication devices 10a to 10f are grouped according to the place where they are installed, and are registered in the group management table 33 shown in FIG.
FIG. 14 is a flowchart of processing for transferring biometric information in consideration of grouping. In step S61, first, the biometric information input by the user is registered. This process corresponds to, for example, steps S1 to S6 shown in FIG. In step S62, the biometric information is transferred to another authentication device belonging to the same group. At this time, first, authentication devices belonging to the same group are detected with reference to the group management table 33 shown in FIG. Further, with reference to the registration management table 32, the biometric information is sequentially transferred to the authentication device in which “not registered” is set. For example, when biometric information is input to the authentication device 10a in FIG. 13, the biometric information is transferred from the authentication device 10a to the authentication devices 10b and 10c.
In steps S63 to S64, a timer is set. The timer is not particularly limited, but is set to monitor a predetermined date and time (for example, midnight of the next day) that is low in the usage frequency of the authentication system. When the timer expires (that is, when a predetermined date and time has arrived), in step S65, the biometric information is transferred to the authentication devices belonging to other groups with reference to the group management table 33 again.
Thus, according to the above-described procedure, biometric information is immediately registered only for an authentication device that is likely to be used early, and communication is performed for an authentication device that is unlikely to be used early. It can be transferred during times when the line usage rate is low. Therefore, congestion of the communication line can be avoided without reducing the convenience for the user.
In the above-described embodiment, biometric information input in an arbitrary authentication device among a plurality of authentication devices is transferred to another authentication device, but the present invention is not necessarily limited to this configuration. That is, in the authentication system 1 of the embodiment, (1) the user's biometric information is not collectively managed by the server but registered in each authentication device, and (2) the biometric information is stored in a plurality of authentication devices by one input operation. The information is registered, and (3) the biometric information does not flow through the communication line when the identity of the user is confirmed. Therefore, the present invention does not exclude a configuration in which biometric information input in a device other than the authentication device is transferred to a plurality of authentication devices at the time of registration.
