Abstract: A method for supporting identity management of travelers in an airport using a distributed ledger system includes receiving, by a global identity blockchain, a registration request from a traveler via a traveler device. The registration request includes a commitment for identity data that is uploaded by the traveler in a secure cloud storage. The method further includes recording the commitment in the global identity blockchain, receiving, by the global identity blockchain, a result of an identity verification with respect to the traveler from a verifier entity, recording the result in the global identity blockchain, and receiving, by a security blockchain, a ticket registration transaction issued by an airline entity. The ticket registration transaction comprises a unique traveler ID of the traveler. The method further includes issuing, by the security blockchain, an access control list update upon reception of consent by the traveler.

Abstract: An object matching device includes an acquiring unit, an extracting unit, and a determining unit. The acquiring unit acquires an image of an object to be matched with a character printed thereon. The extracting unit extracts a partial image of predetermined size including the character as a matching partial image from the image. The determining unit compares the matching partial image with a registration partial image acquired from an object to be registered and registered in advance, and thereby determines an identity of the object to be matched and the object to be registered.

Abstract: Iris image pick-up devices perform image pick-up of an iris of a moving subject. A guiding device guides the subject. A controller predicts a period in which the subject will blink next. Further, the controller predicts a period in which the subject will pass through the focusing point of the iris image pick-up devices. The controller controls the guiding device such that the subject does not blink at the focusing point in the case where the period in which the subject will blink next overlaps with the period in which the subject will pass through the focusing point.
