Abstract:

A biometric information based authentication device includes a seed data generator which generates seed data comprising biometric information and having a first length, an encryptor which encrypts the seed data to generate a first encryption value and a second encryption value having a second length, wherein the first encryption value and the second encryption value are different from each other, and an authentication information generator which generates at least one of a public key and a private key based on each of the first encryption value and the second encryption value which are input. The private key is discarded after use.
