METHOD, APPARATUS, AND RECORDING MEDIUM FOR PERFORMING AUTHENTICATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18063264 titled 'METHOD, APPARATUS, AND RECORDING MEDIUM FOR PERFORMING AUTHENTICATION

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method and apparatus for authentication using an electronic device. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:

  • The electronic device receives a request to access an application.
  • It obtains public or private helper data for user authentication based on the requested application.
  • The device obtains an encryption key from the user's biometric information using a fuzzy extractor.
  • User authentication is performed based on the obtained encryption key to access the application.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • This authentication method can be used in various electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets, laptops, etc.
  • It can be implemented in applications that require secure access, such as banking apps, email clients, social media platforms, etc.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • This method enhances security by using biometric information for authentication, making it difficult for unauthorized users to access applications.
  • It provides a more convenient and efficient way of authentication, eliminating the need for traditional passwords or PINs.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved security: Biometric authentication adds an extra layer of security, reducing the risk of unauthorized access.
  • User convenience: Users can access applications using their biometric information, eliminating the need to remember complex passwords.
  • Efficient authentication: The use of fuzzy extractors allows for accurate and reliable authentication based on biometric data.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method of performing authentication by an electronic apparatus and an electronic apparatus for performing authentication are provided. The electronic apparatus receives an access request to an application executed on the electronic apparatus, obtain any one of public helper data and private helper data, which are used for user authentication, based on the access requested application, obtain an encryption key from user's biometric information received according to the access request, based on the public helper data or the private helper data by using a fuzzy extractor, and perform user authentication for accessing the application, based on the obtained encryption key.
