METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR STORING FINGERPRINT TEMPLATE INFORMATION, AND PERFORMING AUTHENTICATION BY ADOPTING FINGERPRINT INFORMATION

摘要

A method and apparatus for storing fingerprint template information, and performing authentication by adopting fingerprint information. The method for storing fingerprint template information comprises: dividing the fingerprint template information into a plurality of security levels according to an importance degree of an application to be authenticated of a mobile terminal; respectively storing the fingerprint template information at storage locations corresponding to the security levels according to the grade of the plurality of security levels; and establishing a mapping relationship between the fingerprint template information and the storage locations. By means of the method and apparatus provided in the present invention, even if a mobile terminal is attacked by a hacker, high-security-level encrypted information will not be leaked, thereby improving the security level of the terminal, particularly, the security degree of information with a high security grade, and improving the user experience. In addition, on the premise that a hardware cost is not increased, the market competitiveness of a product is enhanced.
