Abstract(in English) Due to the high security and convenience, biometric authentication is used at access control, ATM and many kinds of identity verification. In this paper, we consider the information amount of a biometric feature such as a fingerprint or a vein pattern in the sense of personal-identifying information. Firstly, we define the amount of personal-identifying information contained in a biometric feature by mutual information. Then we show that the mutual information can be approximated asymptotically by Kullback-Leibler divergence between the genuine score distribution f_G(x) and the imposter score distribution f_I(x). We propose to use this KL divergence as a metrics of biometric information in a certain biometric identification system. It is also discussed about the relationship between the metrics and ROC curve, information of multimodal biometrics, and possible application of the metrics to privacy protecting biometric technologies. Finally some methods for experimental estimation of biometric information based on the metrics are described.
