Abstract:

PURPOSE: To solve problems of a false use of a key adapted to be used for accessing and controlling an entrance and exit managing computer for an important facility, due to a steal or missing of the key, and of forgetting of an ID number, with the use of an individual identifying function utilizing the feature of a finger, and to enhance the security and the manipulatability.
