Application of Fingerprint Identification Technology to Systems against Inside Information Leaks and a Proposal for Its Development Form

摘要

Changes are occurring in the environment surrounding business organizations, such as the development of open networks and flexible migration of employees. In the context of such changes, it has recently been considered more important to prepare measures against information leaks from inside the organization. Among these, an urgent issue in ordinary organizations is to reinforce the existing business system so as to realize highly cost-effective security functions. This paper considers an actual case of information leakage as a model and systematically summarizes the conditions regarding security functions, based on the views of legal specialists. An actually introduced security system based on fingerprint identification is investigated, and it is shown that practical security measures can be established. A development configuration is then proposed in which part of the security system is placed in a data center and shared by multiple organizations.
