Electronic approval system, electronic approval server, and computer-readable storage medium
According to an embodiment, an electronic approval system comprising at least one electronic approval device and an electronic approval server. The electronic approval device includes a biometric authentication unit and a security chip. The biometric authentication unit performs biometric authentication. The security chip generates reliability confirmation information using a private key stored in advance if a result of the biometric authentication is normal, and transmits the reliability confirmation information to the electronic approval server via the information processing device. The electronic approval server includes a processor. The processor stores an electronic approval record indicating that approval has been successfully performed in the electronic approval device based on a public key corresponding to the private key and the reliability confirmation information.
1 . An electronic approval system comprising at least one electronic approval device and an electronic approval server,
the electronic approval device including:
a first connector which communicates with the electronic approval server via an information processing device;
a biosensor which performs biometric authentication; and
a security chip which generates reliability confirmation information using a private key stored in advance if a result of the biometric authentication is normal, and which transmits the reliability confirmation information to the electronic approval server via the information processing device, and
the electronic approval server including:
a second connector which communicates with the electronic approval device via the information processing device; and
a processor which stores an electronic approval record indicating that approval has been successfully performed in the electronic approval device based on a public key corresponding to the private key and the reliability confirmation information,
wherein the processor stores the electronic approval record based on the reliability confirmation information generated in a plurality of electronic approval devices in which different private keys are set in association with the electronic approval record, and a public key corresponding to the private key for each of the electronic approval devices.
2 . The electronic approval system of claim 1 , wherein the processor stores the electronic approval record if approval is successfully performed in all of the at least one electronic approval devices associated with the electronic approval record.
3 . The electronic approval system of claim 1 , wherein:
the electronic approval record is an electronic imprint image; and
the processor stores the electronic approval record by inserting the electronic imprint image into document data.
4 . The electronic approval system of claim 1 , wherein the processor:
transmits to an external server the reliability confirmation information received from the at least one electronic approval device and electronic approval record identification information for identifying the electronic approval record; and
receives from the external server information indicating whether approval in the at least one electronic approval device has been successfully performed.
5 . The electronic approval system of claim 1 , wherein:
the electronic approval record is an electronic signature image; and
the processor stores the electronic approval record by inserting the electronic signature image into document data.
6 . The electronic approval system of claim 1 , wherein:
the reliability confirmation information is a random number and encrypted data in which the random number is encrypted by a private key; and
the processor stores the electronic approval record if the encrypted data decrypted by the public key matches the random number.
7 . An electronic approval server comprising:
a connector that communicates via an information processing device and an electronic approval device including a biosensor which performs biometric authentication and a security chip which generates reliability confirmation information using a private key stored in advance when a result of the biometric authentication is normal; and
a processor which stores an electronic approval record indicating that approval in the electronic approval device has been successfully executed based on a public key corresponding to the private key and the reliability confirmation information,
wherein the processor stores the electronic approval record based on the reliability confirmation information generated in a plurality of electronic approval devices in which different private keys are set in association with the electronic approval record, and a public key corresponding to the private key for each of the electronic approval devices.
8 . A computer-readable storage medium storing an electronic approval program,
the computer-readable storage medium causing an electronic approval device to:
communicate with an electronic approval server via an information processing device;
perform biometric authentication;
generate reliability confirmation information using a private key stored in advance if a result of the biometric authentication is normal; and
transmit the reliability confirmation information to the electronic approval server via the information processing device, and
the computer-readable storage medium causing the electronic approval server to:
communicate with the electronic approval device via the information processing device; and
store an electronic approval record indicating that approval in the electronic approval device has been successfully executed based on a public key corresponding to the private key and the reliability confirmation information,
wherein the electronic approval server stores the electronic approval record based on the reliability confirmation information generated in a plurality of electronic approval devices in which different private keys are set in association with the electronic approval record, and a public key corresponding to the private key for each of the electronic approval devices.
