METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR AUTHENTICATING USER, USER AUTHENTICATION SYSTEM OPERATING METHOD, AUTHENTICATION SEVER AND ENTERPRISER SERVER

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To widely spread reliably authentication by means of a fingerprint collating device.;SOLUTION: When a user computer 16 applies for a transaction to a enterpriser server 12, an authentication server 14 accepts the registration application of the relevant user from the dealer server 12, together with a user ID and judges whether the user owns an FPD, and when the user does not own the FPD, the FPD is imparted. Also a registration ID for registering fingerprint data utilizing the FPD is issued and transmitted to the user. When the registration ID and the fingerprint data acquired by utilizing the FPD are received from the user computer 16, the authentication server 14 stores the user ID and a dealer ID or the like in a database, while correlating them with the fingerprint data and the registration ID. Afterwards, when the fingerprint data, the user ID and the dealer ID or the like transmitted by the user computer are received from the dealer server 12, the authentication server 14 collates the fingerprint data with fingerprint data, which are related to the user ID in the database and transmits the collation result to the enterpriser server 12.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2001,JPO
