AUTHENTICATION CANDIDATE EXTRACTION APPARATUS, AUTHENTICATION SYSTEM, AUTHENTICATION CANDIDATE EXTRACTION METHOD, AND PROGRAM

摘要

It is an object of the present invention to protect authentication data while ensuring high response performance. An authentication candidate extraction apparatus comprises a biometric information input part that receives biometric information of a to-be-authenticated subject, moving from a first spot to a second spot, acquired at the first spot; a feature information storage part that stores feature information used for authentication of the to-be-authenticated subject; a candidate selection part that selects a feature information candidate to be used for the authentication processing by means of a predetermined secure computation scheme using features extracted from the biometric information acquired at the first spot; and a feature information transmission part that transmits the extracted feature information candidate to an authentication apparatus that performs authentication processing using biometric information of the to-be-authenticated subject acquired at the second spot.
