An electronic system 1000 may include an electronic device 100 and a server 200.
The electronic device 100 may include various electronic devices capable of performing biometric authentication such as a smartphone, a smart TV, a PDA, a cellular phone, a desktop, a notebook, or the like. In this case, the biometric authentication means various authentication methods for accessing encrypted data by using various types of biometric information such as fingerprint recognition, iris recognition, or face recognition.
The server 200 may be implemented as a plurality of server computers. The server 200 may store encrypted data. In addition, a user may access the encrypted data of the server 200 according to the biometric authentication of the electronic device 100.
In the electronic system 1000 according to an embodiment of the disclosure, when biometric data of a user is sensed by the electronic device 100, the electronic device 100 may obtain a biometric code string based on the biometric data. The electronic device 100 may transmit a first cryptogram including the biometric code string to the server 200.
Then, the server 200 may calculate the received first cryptogram and authentication information stored in the server 200 and transmit a second cryptogram which is a result of the calculation to the electronic device 100. The second cryptogram includes a distance between the biometric code string sensed by the electronic device 100 and a biometric code string included in the authentication information. In this case, the distance means a deviation value of a plurality of pieces of data and a large distance value means a large deviation value between pieces of data and a low matching degree.
The electronic device 100 may confirm whether or not the second cryptogram is derived as a result of execution of authentication by the electronic device 100 itself not by third parties, by using tag information included in the received second cryptogram. When it is confirmed that the second cryptogram is derived by the electronic device 100, the electronic device 100 transmits a value including the distance value to the server 200 again and the server 200 executes user authentication based on the distance value.
Meanwhile, the following encryption method may include homomorphic encryption method. In the homomorphic encryption, a cryptogram is calculated in the encrypted state. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent biometric information leakage from a malicious user, a malicious server computer, and a malicious third party. In addition, the electronic device 100 and the server 200 may increase security by inserting unique integer code string only known by themselves. Specific operations of the electronic device 100 and the server 200 will be described later.
The electronic device 100 according to an embodiment of the disclosure may include a storage 110, a sensor 120, a communicator 130, and a processor 140.
The storage 110 stores various pieces of data necessary for operations of the electronic device 100.
In an example, the storage 110 may store tag information for confirming whether or not the specific electronic device 100 executes authentication.
Specifically, the tag information may include first tag information and second tag information. The first tag information corresponds to tag information to be transmitted to the server 200 at a user registration stage, and the second tag information corresponds to tag information to be transmitted to the server at a user authentication stage. The specific matters will be described later.
In another example, the storage 110 may store a private key.
Specifically, the private key may include two integers which are pairwise coprime and used for Chinese Remainder Theorem (CRT) homomorphic encryption method which will be described later. In addition, the private key is a value which may be decrypted only by the electronic device 100 and corresponds to a value which would not be known by the server 200 or third parties. Specific description thereof will be described later.
In particular, the storage 110 may store data necessary for executing various processes by the processor 140. In an example, the storage 110 may be implemented as an internal memory such as a ROM, a RAM, or the like included in the processor 140 or may be implemented as a memory separated from the processor 140. In this case, the storage 110 may be implemented in a form of a memory embedded in the electronic device 100 or implemented in a form of a memory detachable from the electronic device 100 according to data storage purpose. For example, data for operating the electronic device 100 may be stored in a memory embedded in the electronic device 100, and data for an extended function of the electronic device 100 may be stored in a memory detachable from the electronic device 100. The memory embedded in the electronic device 100 may be implemented as a non-volatile memory, a volatile memory, a flash memory, a hard disk drive (HDD), or a solid state drive (SSD), and the memory detachable from the electronic device 100 may be implemented as a memory card (e.g., micro SD card or USB memory), external memory connectable to the USB port (e.g., USB memory).
The sensor 120 may include a plurality of sensors for recognizing biometric data of a user.
Specifically, the sensor 120 may include at least one of a fingerprint recognition sensor, a voice recognition sensor, a face recognition sensor, an iris sensor, a sensor for lines on palm, and a vein distribution sensor for sensing biometric data of a specific user. However, there is no limitation thereto, and the sensor 120 may include various sensors capable of recognizing a specific user using user biometric data.
The communicator 130 executes communication with the server 200.
The communicator 130 may transmit a cryptogram obtained by the electronic device 100 and receive a cryptogram obtained by the server 200. In addition, the communicator 130 may transmit or receive various pieces of data including a cryptogram for executing user authentication.
For example, the communicator 130 may execute communication through various communication systems such as IR (Infrared), Wireless Fidelity (WI-FI), Bluetooth, Zigbee, Beacon, near field communication (NFC), WAN, LAN, Ethernet, IEEE 1394, HDMI, USB, MHL, AES/EBU, Optical, Coaxial, and the like.
The processor 140 controls general operations of the electronic device 100.
According to an embodiment of the disclosure, the processor 140 may be implemented as a digital signal processor (DSP), a microprocessor, or a time controller (TCON) processing digital signals. However, there is no limitation thereto, and the processor 140 may include one or more of a central processing unit (CPU), a microcontroller unit (MCU), a microprocessing unit (MPU), a controller, an application processor (AP), or a communication processor (CP), and an ARM processor or may be defined as the corresponding term. In addition, the processor 140 may be implemented as System on Chip (SoC) or large scale integration (LSI) including the processing algorithm or may be implemented in form of a Field Programmable gate array (FPGA).
The processor 140 may obtain a biometric code string from biometric data sensed by the sensor 120, and transmit a first cryptogram obtained by encrypting the biometric code string and tag information, a first masking code, and a first masking encryption code obtained by encrypting the first masking code to the server 200 via the communicator 130.
Specifically, the processor 140 may obtain the biometric code string with n bits from the biometric data. That is, the processor 140 may obtain a biometric code string x with n-bit string from the biometric data of a person. In an example, the biometric code string may be obtained in a form of x=(
In this case, the processor 140 may obtain a biometric code string with n-bit string from biometric data including at least one of fingerprint data, voice data, face data, iris data, data of lines on palm, and vein distribution data.
For example, the biometric code string may be obtained only by using the iris data, but the biometric code string may also be obtained by using iris and fingerprint data in order to enhance security.
Then, the processor 140 may obtain a first cryptogram based on the obtained biometric code string and tag information.
In this case, the tag information corresponds to information for confirming that the electronic device 100, no other devices, has executed predetermined calculation. That is, by inserting the tag information to the cryptogram, it is possible to prevent other devices from executing authentication with the server 200.
Specifically, the processor 140 may obtain the tag information formed of an arbitrary integer string. That is, the processor 140 may obtain the tag information formed of random integers.
In this case, the processor 140 may obtain the tag information configured with bit number which is the same as the bit number n of the biometric code string.
In an example, the processor 140 may obtain n (or N) arbitrary integers ri and si, as the bit number of the biometric code string, and the tag information tagi, and obtain a cryptogram
=Enc(x, tag):={
In this case, the cryptogram
Hereinafter, i means i-th bit number and the subscript i may be omitted for convenience of description.
The processor 140 may identify p1 and p2 as private keys and store these in the storage 110 for decrypting the cryptogram later. p1 and p2 included in Mathematical Expression 1 mean unique private keys which would not be known by the server 200 and third parties and are only known by the electronic device 100. In this case, p1 and p2 may be integers which are pairwise coprime according to CRT.
In addition, ri and si obtained by the processor 140 mean small errors for enhancing security and Q1 and Q2 mean a message space.
After storing the obtained tag information tagi, the processor 140 transmits the first cryptogram
The processor 140 may obtain a first masking code and a first masking encryption code obtained by encrypting the first masking code and transmit these together with the first cryptogram.
The first masking code formed of a plain text is a value to be used in the server 200 later and the first masking encryption code is a value for enhancing security of the cryptogram.
In this case, the processor 140 may encrypt the first masking code with the first masking encryption code by the CRT homomorphic encryption such as the Mathematical Expression 1.
In addition, the processor 140 may obtain the first masking code and the first masking encryption code to have a bit number larger than the bit number of the biometric code string. This is because these are codes for masking the first cryptogram.
By doing so, the processor 140 may transmit the first cryptogram, the first masking code, and the first masking encryption code to the server 200.
When a second cryptogram is received from the server 200 and tag information included in the second cryptogram is identified as a value obtained based on tag information stored in the storage 130, the processor 140 may decrypt the second cryptogram and obtain a value obtained by adding a distance value to a second masking code derived from the second cryptogram. Then, the processor 140 may transmit the obtained value to the server 200.
Specifically, when the tag information included in the second cryptogram matches with distance between first tag information and second tag information, the processor 140 may decrypt the second cryptogram and obtain a value obtained by adding the distance value to the second masking code derived from the second cryptogram.
The distance herein may be obtained by calculation method of Euclidian distance or Hamming distance, but there is no limitation thereto.
In this case, the first tag information corresponds to tag information transmitted to the server 200 at a stage of registering the biometric data to the server 200. The second tag information corresponds to tag information transmitted to the server 200 at a stage of executing user authentication.
The processor 140 may store the first tag information and the second tag information in the storage 110 before transmitting the first tag information and the second tag information to the server 200. This is for identifying whether or not the tag information included in the second cryptogram matches the distance between the stored first tag information and the stored second tag information.
The second cryptogram includes a cryptogram obtained by executing calculation of the cryptogram received by the server 200 from the electronic device 100 in the encrypted state. The specific matters will be described later with the server 200.
When a mode for registering the biometric data of a user is executed, the processor 140 may obtain the biometric code string from biometric data sensed by the sensor 120 and transmit a third cryptogram obtained by encrypting the obtained biometric code string and the first tag information to the server 200 via the communicator 130. In this case, the server 200 may identify the third cryptogram as authentication information and store this in a storage 210 of the server.
The distance value may be a distance value between the biometric code string obtained by the processor 140 and the biometric code string stored in the server 200 in advance. The distance value may be obtained as a value of Euclidian distance or Hamming distance, but there is no limitation thereto.
That is, the distance value corresponds to a deviation value between the biometric code string obtained by the processor 140 and the biometric code string stored in the server 200 in advance and, and if the distance value is low, the server 200 may identify that the authentication is successful.
The second masking code is a value obtained by the server 200 based on the first masking code obtained by the processor 140. Specifically, the server 200 may identify and obtain a value obtained by multiplying the arbitrary integer aj by the first masking code as the second masking code. Specific matters regarding this will be described later.
The second cryptogram received by the processor 140 from the server 200 is as Mathematical Expression 2.
The processor 140 may decrypt the second cryptogram and obtain a plain text such as Mathematical Expression 3.
(d+R′tag′) s.t.R′=Σj=0N-1 αjRj [Mathematical Expression 3]
In Mathematical Expression 3, Rj represents the first masking code with a bit number of j, aj has an arbitrary integer string with a bit number of j, and R′ represents the second masking code. In addition, d represents the distance value between the biometric code string obtained by the processor 140 and the biometric code string stored in the server 200 in advance.
When the plain text such as Mathematical Expression 3 is obtained, the processor 140 may obtain a value obtained by adding the distance value d to the second masking code R′ and transmit this value to the server 200 via the communicator 130. The server 200 may execute user authentication by receiving the plain text such as Mathematical Expression 3.
The server 200 according to an embodiment of the disclosure may include a storage 210, a communicator 220, and a processor 230.
The storage 210 stores various pieces of data necessary for the operations of the server 200.
In an example, the storage 210 may store authentication information obtained by encrypting the first biometric code string obtained from biometric data of a user and the first tag information. In this case, the authentication information may be information received from the electronic device 100.
In another example, the storage 210 may store the second masking code obtained based on the first masking code. The second masking code may be used for obtaining the distance value at a user authentication final stage.
The storage 210 may be implemented in various forms similar to the storage 110 of the electronic device 100 described above and thus the overlapped description thereof will be omitted.
The communicator 220 executes communication with the electronic device 100.
Specifically, the communicator 220 may receive a cryptogram from the electronic device 100, execute calculation for user authentication, and transmit the calculated cryptogram to the electronic device 100. In addition, the communicator 220 may transmit or receive various pieces of data including the cryptogram to execute the user authentication.
The communicator 220 may be implemented in various forms similar to the communicator 130 of the electronic device 100 and thus the overlapped description thereof will be omitted.
The processor 230 controls general operations of the server 200. In addition, the processor 230 may be implemented in various forms similar to the processor 140 of the electronic device 100.
The processor 230 may receive a first cryptogram obtained by encrypting a second biometric code string and second tag information, the first masking code, and the first masking encryption code for user authentication from the electronic device 100 via the communicator 220.
In this case, the processor 230 may obtain a distance between the first cryptogram and the authentication information.
Specifically, the processor 230 calculates a distance between the first cryptogram
As described in
[Mathematical Expression 4]
That is, the processor 230 may obtain distance
between the first cryptogram and the authentication information. In this case, the distance between the first cryptogram and the authentication information may include a distance value d between the first biometric code string and the second biometric code string and a distance tag′ between the first tag information and the second tag information. A bar above (d, tag′) means the encrypted state.
The processor 230 may transmit the second cryptogram including a value obtained by adding the distance between the first cryptogram and the authentication information to the second masking encryption code to the electronic device 100.
In this case, the second masking encryption code is a value obtained based on the first masking encryption code received from the electronic device 100.
Specifically, the processor 230 may obtain the second masking encryption code by multiplying an arbitrary integer string α by the received first masking encryption code. In addition, the processor 230 may obtain the second masking code by multiplying the arbitrary integer string α by the received first masking code.
Then, the processor 230 may obtain the second cryptogram by adding the obtained second masking encryption code to the distance between the first cryptogram and the authentication information, and transmit the second cryptogram to the electronic device 100.
The second masking encryption code is for preventing a malicious user from executing the user authentication by making a request to the server 200 with a distance value between the biometric code strings arbitrarily decreased by the electronic device 100. That is, the second masking encryption code which is known only by the server 200 is added to the distance value to prevent the electronic device 100 from arbitrarily adjusting the distance value.
Then, when the electronic device 100 identifies the tag information included in the second cryptogram received from the server 200 as a value obtained based on the tag information stored in the storage 110, the electronic device 100 may transmit a value obtained by adding the distance between the first and second biometric code strings to the second masking code to the server 200. That is, the electronic device 100 transmits a value obtained by removing the tag information from the received value to the server 200. Accordingly, the processor 230 may receive a value obtained by adding the distance between the first and second biometric code strings to the second masking code.
Then, the processor 230 may obtain the distance between the first and second biometric code strings based on the second masking code obtained from the first masking code.
Specifically, the processor 230 may obtain the distance between the first and second biometric code strings by subtracting the second masking code from the value obtained by adding the distance between the first and second biometric code strings to the second masking code received by the processor 230. As described above, the second masking code herein corresponds to a value obtained by multiplying the arbitrary integer string α by the first masking code by the processor 230.
Then, the processor 230 may execute the user authentication based on the obtained distance.
Specifically, if the obtained distance is lower than a predetermined threshold value, the processor 230 may execute the user authentication. As described above, the distance is a distance between the first biometric code string and the second biometric code string. Accordingly, as the distance is low, an accuracy between the biometric code strings is high. Therefore, it is possible to perform the user authentication, if the distance is lower than the threshold value.
As described above in
The electronic device 100 according to an embodiment of the disclosure may obtain the second biometric code string from the biometric data and obtain the first cryptogram based on the second tag information stored in advance. In addition, the electronic device 100 may obtain the first masking code and the first masking encryption code based on the first masking code (S401).
Then, the electronic device 100 may transmit the first cryptogram, the first masking code, and the first masking encryption code to the server (S402).
The server 200 may store the authentication information obtained by encrypting the first biometric code string and the first tag information (S403).
In this case, the authentication information may be formed of the same type of cryptogram as the first cryptogram described above. In an example, both the first cryptogram and the authentication information may be implemented as the homomorphic cryptogram by the CRT method.
In addition, the server 200 may receive and store the authentication information from the electronic device 100, before receiving the first cryptogram (not shown).
Then, the server 200 may obtain the distance
between the first cryptogram and the authentication information (S404). Specifically, the server 200 may obtain
with the distance calculation as in Mathematical Expression 4 described above.
The server 200 may obtain the second masking encryption code Σj=0N-1 αj
In addition, the server 200 may obtain the second masking code α(R, 0) by multiplying the arbitrary integer string α by the first masking code (R,0) (not shown).
The server 200 may store the obtained second masking code in the storage 210. This is for obtaining d in subsequent Step S411.
Then, the server 200 may transmit the second cryptogram including the value obtained by adding the second masking encryption code Σj=0N-1 αj
between the first cryptogram and the authentication information to the electronic device 100 (S406). In this case, the second cryptogram may be expressed as
The electronic device 100 may decrypt the received second cryptogram and obtain (d+R′, tag′) (S408). In this case, R′ means Σj=0N-1 αjRj.
Then, the electronic device 100 may identify whether or not the distance between the first tag information and the second tag information matches with tag′ (S408). Specifically, since both the first tag information and the second tag information are values generated by the electronic device 100, the electronic device 100 may execute the calculation of the distance between the first tag information and the second tag information.
In this case, if the distance between the first tag information and the second tag information does not match with tag′, the communication with the server 200 may be stopped (S409).
Specifically, if tag′ received by the electronic device 100 is not a value based on the first tag information and the second tag information identified by the electronic device 100 itself, the electronic device 100 may identify the cryptogram as the cryptogram transmitted by a malicious server and stop the communication.
If the distance between the first tag information and the second tag information matches with tag′, the electronic device 100 may transmit d+R′ (S410).
Specifically, if tag′=Σi=0N-1(tag*i−tagi)2 is satisfied, the electronic device 100 may transmit d+R′. In this case, tag* represents the first tag information and tag represents the second tag information.
Then, the server 200 may obtain only d by subtracting R′ from the received d+R′ (S411) and execute the user authentication based on d (S412).
Specifically, the value d corresponds to the distance value between the first biometric code string and the second biometric code string and thus, the user authentication may be executed according to d. In an example, if d corresponds to the distance value lower than the predetermined threshold value, the server 200 may execute the user authentication by determining that a difference is not great between the first biometric code string stored in advance and the second biometric code string received from the electronic device 100.
The electronic device 100 according to an embodiment of the disclosure may obtain the biometric code string from the biometric data, and transmit the first cryptogram obtained by encrypting the biometric code string and the tag information, the first masking code, and the first masking encryption code obtained by encrypting the first masking code to server 200 (S501).
Then, when the tag information included in the second cryptogram received from the server is identified as a value obtained based on the tag information stored in advance, the electronic device 100 may obtain a value obtained by adding the distance value to the second masking code derived from the second cryptogram by decrypting the second cryptogram, and transmit the obtained value to server 200 (S502).
In this case, the distance value includes a distance value between the biometric code string and the biometric code string stored in the server 200 in advance, and the second masking code includes a code obtained by the server 200 based on the first masking code.
