Abstract: A biometric signature system holds a first template indicating a result of transforming, by predetermined transformation, first biometric information acquired from a predetermined part of a user; and a second template indicating a result of transforming, by predetermined one-way transformation, second biometric information acquired from the predetermined part of the user, identifies a parameter for which a similarity between the first template of the person to be authenticated corrected, generates a second template of the person to be authenticated from each piece of corrected second biometric information, and determines whether authentication of the person to be authenticated is successful by comparing each generated second template with the second template.

Abstract: Provided is a signature verification system comprising: a signature terminal including a biometric information acquisition unit for acquiring biometric information of a user, a public template certificate generation unit for generating a public template certificate by subjecting the biometric information to predetermined processing, a key pair generation unit for generating a pair of a secret key and a public key, and a public key certificate generation unit for generating a public key certificate by providing a biometric signature to the public key with the biometric information used as a key; and a verification terminal including a public key certificate verification unit for receiving a transaction including the public template certificate, the public key certificate, and a signature to verify the validity of the public key certificate using the public template certificate, and a signature verification unit for verifying the signature using the public key certificate.

Abstract: This biometric signature system comprises: a biometric certificate storage module that stores a biometric certificate generated on the basis of a user's biometric information; a biometric information acquisition module that acquires new biometric information from the user; a biometric certificate generation module that generates a new biometric certificate on the basis of the new biometric information; a biometric signature generation module that assigns a biometric signature to the new biometric certificate on the basis of the new biometric information; a biometric signature verification module that verifies the biometric signature using the biometric certificate stored in the biometric certificate storage module; and a biometric certificate registration module that registers the new biometric certificate in the biometric certificate storage module if verification of the biometric signature was successful.

Abstract: In order to provide questions suited to skill levels of a learner, it is provided a learning support system which consists of a computer including a processor and a memory, comprising: a question database; a question generator; an answer acquisition module; a scoring module and an achievement degree estimator. The achievement degree estimator compares a number of types of perturbation within the questions to which a correct answer has been given with a predetermined second threshold value. The question generator generates a word changed in accordance with the perturbation of a different type in a case where the number of types of perturbation within the questions to which the correct answer has been given is smaller than the predetermined second threshold value, and sets a question relating to the generated word as a candidate for the question.
