| description | Background: Information and communication technology development provides services to various fields. In particular, the development of mobile technology has made ubiquitous services possible. However, as technology advances, security is being emphasized more and more. The existing method of user authentication by entering an ID and password is likely to leak sensitive information if the server is attacked or keylogged. Therefore, multi-level authentication is needed to prevent server attacks or keylogging. Methods: Biometric authentication technology has been utilized by smartphones, but it is challenging to apply in the case of a lost device because the central server does not manage biometric data. Encrypting transactions through blockchain technology makes data management more secure because blockchain technology is distributed, and there is no primary target for hackers. Results: The method proposed in this study can become a basis for an authentication method that guarantees both security and integrity due to the synergetic use of biometric and blockchain technologies. Conclusions: The information stored in the service provider does not include sensitive information such as the user’s biometric data but is only a means of verifying the user’s information in the blockchain transaction with guaranteed anonymity. Therefore, users can receive services with confidence and safety. |
