The Social ICT Research Center (Director: Masami Hagiya), Graduate School of Information Science and Technology, the University of Tokyo, announced that it will conduct a large-scale demonstration experiment (MITHRA Project * 1) of personal authentication technology in the latter half of 2016.
While the importance of personal authentication is increasing with the spread of the Internet, existing technology cannot provide a drastic solution, and the current situation is that it is still supported by IDs and passwords.From April 2013, the graduate school opened a "next-generation personal authentication donation course" by Mitsubishi UFJ NICOS Co., Ltd.Research on an authentication system that enables convenient and flexible evaluation, such as reducing the authentication effort for users, introducing alternative methods to authentication methods for which security problems have been found, and realizing comprehensive operation of multiple authentication methods. Has been advanced.
This year, which is the fourth year, we plan a large-scale demonstration experiment of 4 subjects with the cooperation of multiple private companies in order to make the research more reliable.Experiments will be conducted by using the commercial services of each company almost as they are.In addition, with an eye on the practical application of the system, verification will be conducted for the purpose of linking with existing technology.The demonstration experiment test is scheduled for two months from October 50000.
