Over recent years, much research attention has been devoted to a two-factor authentication mechanism which integrates both tokenized pseudorandom numbers with user specific biometric features for biometric verification, known as Biohash. The main advantage of Biohash over sole biometrics is that Biohash is able to achieve a zero equal error rate and provide a clean separation of the genuine and imposter populations, thereby allowing elimination of false accept rates without imperiling the false reject rates. Nonetheless, when the token of a user is compromised, the recognition performance of a biometric system drops drastically. As such, a few solutions have been proposed to improve the degraded performance but such improvements appear to be insignificant. In this paper, we investigate and pinpoint the basis of such deterioration. Subsequently, we propose a two-level approach by utilizing strong inner products and fuzzy logic weighting strategies accordingly to increase the original performance of Biohash under this scenario.

Introduction: Hash functions are computer algorithms that protect information and secure transactions. In response to the NIST's "International Call for Hash Function", we developed a biological hash function using the computing capabilities of bacteria. We designed a DNA-based XOR logic gate that allows bacterial colonies arranged in a series on an agar plate to perform hash function calculations. Results and Discussion: In order to provide each colony with adequate time to process inputs and perform XOR logic, we designed and successfully demonstrated a system for time-delayed bacterial growth. Our system is based on the diffusion of ${\ss}$-lactamase, resulting in destruction of ampicillin. Our DNA-based XOR logic gate design is based on the op-position of two promoters. Our results showed that $P_{lux}$ and $P_{OmpC}$ functioned as expected individually, but $P_{lux}$ did not behave as expected in the XOR construct. Our data showed that, contrary to literature reports, the $P_{lux}$ promoter is bidirectional. In the absence of the 3OC6 inducer, the LuxR activator can bind to the $P_{lux}$ promoter and induce backwards transcription. Conclusion and Prospects: Our system of time delayed bacterial growth allows for the successive processing of a bacterial hash function, and is expected to have utility in other synthetic biology applications. While testing our DNA-based XOR logic gate, we uncovered a novel function of $P_{lux}$. In the absence of autoinducer 3OC6, LuxR binds to $P_{lux}$ and activates backwards transcription. This result advances basic research and has important implications for the widespread use of the $P_{lux}$ promoter.

An e-passport is equipped with bio information by adding the non-attachable IC chip with a smart function. In order to solve such a problem, the user's privacy is protected by using the BAC, PA, AA and EAC mechanisms. However, the password key used in the BAC mechanism is made of the combination of the MRZ values. As a result, it is possible to decode the password by using the indiscriminate attacking program after finding out the combined rules of MRZ. This thesis suggests the mechanism with an improved level of efficiency through the time-stamp values by using the information of images and fingerprints and checking the forge or falsification of the e-passport when establishing a safe channel between the chip of the e-passport and the decoding system.

With the development of IT. convergence systems are applied and operated in many different fields. A representative field among them is medical service, which develops in diverse types in combination with nano-technology and bio technology. However, there is a lack of technical innovation in terms of medical data operation and management. For example, data and documents are saved and integrated separately depending on their forms when electronic health records or data like SAM files are transmitted or kept. In other cases, such records and data are still kept after being recorded in paper. This study tries to design and implement the EMR system that makes it possible to capsulize forms of data and documents and to digitalize documents in work process as they are in terms of operation and storage. The system is expected to support efficient operation of electronic documents in the aspects of work and management.

With the advance of function of smart phone system and internet services, mobile trade grows more popular in the area of e-business or banking. These environmental changes, it makes the needs of authorized certificates. Authorized certificate is not only important in these days but also future society. In 2015, 27 millions of Korean people used public key certificate, but most of them does not know the details on the public key certificate. Therefore, in this paper, we explain and investigate the characteristics on the public certificate and explain the relation ship between authorized certificate and public key encrytion. By investigating several papers, internet data, newspapers and books, we found the historical changes, substantial aspects, the encryption systems on the authorized certificate. Also we study the pros and cons of authorized certificate. Finally we predict the number of issued authorized certificate for the future society based on nonparametric statistical method.
