Abstract: A human biological characteristic file corresponding to a particular identity is received and used as a base file. A characteristic code to be authenticated is obtained according to a human biological characteristic of a person who requests identity authentication when an identity authentication request corresponding to the particular identity is received. A base characteristic code is collected from a base file. A collecting algorithm applied for collecting the base characteristic code is the same as or matches an algorithm applied for obtaining the characteristic code. The present techniques determine whether the base characteristic code and the characteristic code correspond to a same human biological characteristic. If a result is positive, the identity authentication request is verified.
