This presents a new biometric authentication method by applying support vector machine (SVM) in mobile computing environments. The server introduced as a biometric certification server (BCA server) can au-thenticate the person himself without necessity to store and manage the raw biometric data. The BCA server re-ceives a model learned by SVM from user who wants to get authentication and only classifies the user pseudo-template data into two classes by the model, therefore it doesn’t need to manage any original biometric data. The classification ability between the person himself and the others show good in a small experiment with the training data extracted from fingerprints.
