Abstract

An authentication system includes a mobile device carried by a user and a sensor sensing the user's biometric information. The mobile device includes a template storage unit storing the user's biometric information as a template, a first mutual authentication unit performing mutual authentication with the sensor via the user's body, and a template transmitter transmitting the stored template to the sensor via the user's body when the sensor is verified as valid. The sensor includes a second mutual authentication unit performing mutual authentication with the mobile device via the user's body, a sensing unit sensing the user's biometric information, a degree-of-match determining unit determining whether the biometric information matches the template, and a control-signal output unit outputting a preset control signal when the mobile device is verified as valid and when the biometric information and the template are determined to match each other.
