Abstract
A digital device including a camera unit; a display unit; and a controller configured to in response to a request to execute a first application on the digital device having a first security authentication level, control the camera unit to capture face image data of a target and perform a first authentication process by comparing the captured face image data with prestored face image data; and in response to a request to execute a second application on the digital device having a second security authentication level more secure than the first authentication level, control the camera unit to capture vein image data of a particular body part of the target, and perform the first authentication process and a second authentication process by comparing the captured vein image data with prestored vein image data.
