Abstract: In a first aspect of the present invention, a ticket displaying device includes a clock unit, a receiving unit, a generating unit, and a display unit. The clock unit indicates the date and time. The receiving unit receives key data. The generating unit generates first ticket image data for authenticating admission rights on the basis of the date and time indicated by the clock unit and key data. The display unit displays the first ticket image data. The first ticket image data displayed on the display unit changes over time based on the date and time indicated by the clock unit. The first ticket image data displayed on the display unit shows the same changes over time as second ticket image data which is displayed by another ticket displaying device for authenticating the same admission rights as the first ticket image data.

Abstract: A biometric authentication system has a terminal which extracts and encodes feature data for authentication from acquired biometric information, and which transmits the encoded feature data for authentication. The system has a DB for storing encrypted authentication information, a search unit which searches for encrypted authentication information included in the DB, and a decryption unit which decrypts the encrypted authentication information searched for using encoded feature data for authentication as a decryption key. Accordingly, a user is uniquely identified using the obtained authentication information. Further, a processing unit performs authentication response processing with respect to the identified user, based on authentication information obtained by decryption.

Abstract: A biometric signature system generates a digital signature for electronic documents using biometric information as a secret key. Registration commitment information is generated by performing expansion conversion on a predetermined secret key and embedding the resulting secret key in feature data of biometric information of a user, and a set with a corresponding public key. A pair of one-time secret and public keys is generated for digital signature feature data of the biometric information of the user, and a digital signature for a message is generated using the one-time secret key. A digital signature commitment is generated and a set of the one-time public key and the digital signature is output as the biometric digital signature. The digital signature is verified using the one-time public key. A differential secret key is calculated and a correspondence of the differential secret key, the one-time public key and the public key is verified.
