케이엘넷, 지문 찍어야 읽히는 카드 개발
도용방지 0.3㎜ 초박형 개발

카드에 달린 생체인식 센서에 손가락을 갖다 대야 작동하는 보안 솔루션이 국내 기술로 처음 개발됐다. IT솔루션 기업 케이엘넷(대표 박정천)은 지문인식 시스템을 장착한 보안 솔루션(USSㆍUbiquitous Security Service)을 이스마트코리아 등 4개 회사와 공동으로 개발했다고 16일 밝혔다.


USS는 케이엘넷이 자체 설계한 네트워크형 보안 서비스로 신용카드와 교통카드 사원증 학생증 출입증 등 각종 카드 솔루션에 모두 적용할 수 있는 것이 특징이다.


두께 0.33㎜ 초박형 IC칩 카드에 지문인식 센서와 처리회로를 내장했다. 기업이 이 카드를 채택하면 박 대리는 회사 단말기에 카드 앞부분을 넣고 뒷부분의 지문인식 센서를 손가락으로 눌러야 출근한 것으로 인식된다.


박정천 케이엘넷 대표는 "카드 분실 시 발생하는 각종 도용 사고 우려를 사전에 차단하는 동시에 누군가가 대리로 입력하는 것을 원천 봉쇄할 수 있어 정확한 출입 파악이 가능하다"고 설명했다. 또 이를 신용카드에 적용하면 도용에 따른 카드사와 고객 간 법적 분쟁도 차단할 수 있다.

아울러 신분증 신용카드 교통카드 홈쇼핑 TV뱅킹 등 다목적 용도로 사용할 수 있도록 제작했다. 따라서 카드 여러 장을 갖고 다닐 필요가 없는 셈이다. 박 대표는 "보안과 정확한 출입 기록이 동시에 필요한 카드사 통신사 대학 연구소 공항 등 어디서든 적용할 수 있는 솔루션"이라며 "사용자별로 서버 접근 권한을 설정할 수 있어 정보가 유출될 염려도 줄였다"고 설명했다.

다만 이 카드는 케이엘넷에서 제공하는 단말기와 솔루션 소프트웨어 등 시스템이 있어야 사용할 수 있다. 이와 관련해 케이엘넷은 `다중인증에 대한 시스템 보안`이라는 이름으로 국내 특허를 출원할 예정이다. [이상덕 기자]

Teruhiko Tamori

Teruhiko has been a world leading inventor in hardware analog, digital and Microwave technology area, covering automobile auto alignment system and fuel jet control, wireless communications, mixed signal area as well as software area, especially micro computer programming. The most profound and epoch making technology breakthrough is on his invention of fingerprint sensor, including semiconductor sensor and pressure type fingerprint sensor, which is water proof and ESD proof and further he developed the very accurate fingerprint matching algorithm and actual microcode program, which he invented new highly sophisticated program, using complex plane filtering and further basic Minutiae algorithm. He also made standard of FAA and FAR for Global Biometrics Card Committee (GBCC). He is also responsible for standardizations of BioAPI for GBCC.

Tamio Saito(Left) and Teruhiko Tamori (Right)
Teruhiko is Chief Biometric Officer (CBO) of e-Smart technology, Inc. and President and CEO of BMF Corporations.

1. How world first Waterproof, ESD Proof, Pressure Sensitive Fingerprint Sensor has been developed.

In 1978 Mr.Fukushima, president and founder of ENIX, largest game programming company, such for SONY play station, when the company was very small on the only game was done in the computer with 5.25” drive, asked me to develop a fingerprint key system of the door. At that time, there was no DOS, no Windows, no MicroSoft.
Mr.Fukushima at that time, gaming market may have some limitation up to 10 years and after gaming market, he believes the door access by fingerprint will be the future.
He was born in Hokkaido, northern part of Japan, where people think security is very important. And he does not want carry any keys, just want to use his finger to open the door. He was investigating how may doors in the world and how large the market is. I told him successful possibility is 50% so I do not want to do that, but he told me if there is 1% possibility, still there is a possibility, so even though he will lose all money he will be happy, even though he is very stingy person. But I believe that person like Mr.Fukushima is the real pioneer and I am disappointed by US investor, who invests small amount of money and push too much. Actually total amount of money which Mr.Fukushima invested me by expenses but not by security is around $60M and I am curious how much money e-Smart has been invested on the sensor. I agreed with e-Smart to sell all IP, market and product development by $60M investment by Mr. Fukushima, for only $2M. This is because I trust e-Smart market, such as fingerprint sensor on a smart card is large and TERUHIKO wan to work together with e-Smart.
Mr.Fukushima now has billions of dollars and retired already and no interest in fingerprint market.
Teruhiko made the world first fingerprint sensor in 1983. Teruhiko made a matrix sensor by asking Mimura printing by making 50 micron pitch, but there was too many pinholes.
Then I made world first semiconductor fingerprint sensor development in 1995 and the patent is granted. May companies, including Fujitsu, Infineon, Veridicom, Finger Card and other companies were all infringing my patents. So, even Fujitsu sensor is based on may patents, so it can be called as my sensor, thus can be called e-Smart/BMF IP sensor. This means no one can make smart card with semiconductor sensor except e-Smart. If IDSmart or any other parties used semiconductor sensor, infringing Teruhiko patents, e-Smart and or BMF has right to sue them.
In 1995, I spent more than $1M to NEC to make semiconductor fingerprint sensor and they made a fingerprint sensor. Price was too high ($80).
Then I asked SONY in 1998 to make glass substrate sensor, using poly-Silicon TFT, which has been used in LCD display. Mr. Kato, god father of LCD display finally agreed to make fingerprint sensor after 6 months negotiations. SONY has high temperature poly silicon TFT technology using quartz substrate, where annealing temperature is 1200 degree centigrade. In 1999, I have displayed SONY-made sensor in Cebit 1999.
This was $100 per sensor. SONY, afterwards, decided to make their own sensor and by their own ego stopped making my sensor.
Then I had to move to SANYO to make a sensor based on Low temperature poly Silicon TFT. What is good was SANYO was so happy to do that thus they invested us $1.5M. later I bought back all shares I sold at that time and thus I have all my right on BMF.
They made a sensor in 2000 and start selling sensor from 2001. At the same time I asked NEC to back up. NEC made FBI size sensor whereas the size is 1”x1” for me.
SANYO made 85,000 pcs of sensor.


2. IP of sensors.
Tamori have filed more than 50 patents, most of that has been granted.

3. Sensors in the Market
In so many places my sensor has been used.
A) Police Department: In 2001 we sold sensor to Gunma Police department. We have won the competition over NEC on this deal, because my sensor is water proof and dry finger proof, but NEC was using Prism, which is not water proof or dry finger proof. But they asked us to sell through NEC for keeping face. The volume was around 10,000. Price was $30.

B) Denver Airport:
My sensor has been used in Denver airport to check Pilots and flight attendants for smuggling and drugs carry since 2005. About 2,999-3,000 sensor has been sold to them.

C) Gun Case:
Chinese companies has been using my sensor to Gun case for worldwide market. Total amount was around 20,000.

D) Contracts with e-Smart
Summary of contracts:
BMF made an agreement with e-Smart International, Inc. (IVI Smart) for close business relationship. Teruhiko serves as Chief Biometrics Officer of e-Smart Technology, Inc..
Teruhiko fully guides and supports the development of SUS based flexible fingerprint sensor development work with University and related manufacturers.

Tamio Saito

Tamio Saito has been a pioneer in the area of Biometrics Security and Smart Card and Thin Film Semiconductor Image sensor area as well as Multiple Level memory, Memory Modules, which enables digital camera, World first note book PC development (under Librex, even before Toshiba’s), Pre-historical development toward PCMCIA card . This experience in Toshiba R&D, Nippon Steel and it’s venture Librex Computer Systems, Inc., Solidas Corporations, BigBang Technology, Inc. (e-Commerce pioneer), stimulated the new SECUSIRTY PARADIME, Biometrics Personal ID System.
He initiated world first Biometrics ID concept in 1982 and that patent has been granted as JP 1809417.

This business has been carried by e-Smart Technology, International, Inc. (Formally IVI Smart Technology, Inc.) and e-Smart Technology, Inc. He developed the smart card with fingerprint sensor but matching calculation is made within the card. Fingerprint template is stored on the card, and if the card holder put his fingerprint, MPU in the card compares the newly captured fingerprint against the template. If fingerprint matches, card ISO communication is validated. May secret communication protocol and encryption further leverage the security. The patent has been granted as USP 7278025. Tamio further made wireless powered card with General Manager of wireless lab of e-Smart, Marcello Soliven, who invented wireless power and signal method. This enables obtaining power 120 mW from normal ISO 14443 A/B reader as well as digital communications. Actually card can be compatible to any wireless protocol if we wish.
Tamio further developed a flexible, waterproof, ESD proof fingerprint sensor using stainless steel substrate with Chief Biometric Officer of e-Smart, Teruhiko Tamori, who is denoted as an inventor of semiconductor fingerprint sensor, pressure fingerprint sensor and Dr. Jang, who is also professor of University, who is denoted as pioneer of metal foil LTPS semiconductor circuit. .
Tamio also set up manufacturing in Korea, and the production is being held in Korea. The cards were distributed or purchased by around 40 companies or Governmental Organizations in Korea and Italy.
His development and manufacturing has been fully supported by engineers, manufacturing stuffs of P&E Center in Korea.
Korea provides least expensive and highest quality manufacturing and high quality, hard working, very loyal engineers. Korea is the security country where high percentage people are using credit card, national ID has fingerprint and front to North Korea. Korean Government and Korean Large Firms have been tremendously supportive to e-Smart, which has been very contrasted to the States, where Tamio experienced three attempt of destructions.

I. Biometrics Personal ID
Tamio Saito, in Toshiba R&D Center, have developed amorphous silicon image sensor.
In Toshiba R&D Tamio had researched security system in the future since 1982 and filed the patent of Method of personal Identifications by Biometrics in 1983, the patent is granted in 1993-12-10 as Japanese Patent Number 1809417 has become first biometrics personal ID in the smart card in the industry.
