  • Patent number: 12367706
    Abstract: A candidate face image and attribute information of each imaging attribute item are acquired. For each imaging attribute item, attribute information is extracted from a database that stores attribute information that has a degree of participation in false authentication greater than a participation degree threshold, among attribute information of analyzed imaging attribute items of analyzed master face images that resulted in false authentication in face image authentication. For each imaging attribute item, whether or not the extracted attribute information has a similarity to the acquired attribute information of the each imaging attribute item greater than a similarity threshold is determined. For each imaging attribute item for which the similarity is greater than the similarity threshold, a weight is assigned. A total score is calculated by summing the weights. When the total score satisfies a predetermined threshold value, the candidate face image is determined as inappropriate as a master face image.

  • Patent number: 12339984
    Abstract: Access right information (20) indicating an access right of a user for a target file (10) is stored in a storage device (3100) accessible from a server apparatus (3000). A management apparatus (4000) acquires the access right information (20) from the server apparatus (3000) and puts it in a storage device (4100). The management apparatus (4000) acquires a request for key information that is used to decrypt a target file (10) from a user apparatus (2000) operated by a target user (40). The management apparatus (4000) determines, upon the acquisition of the request, whether or not the target user (10) has an access right for the target file (40) by using the access right information (20) stored in the storage device (4100). The management apparatus (4000) outputs the key information to the user apparatus (2000) when it is determined that the target user (40) has the access right for the target file (10).
