Abstract

An authentication apparatus includes an electrocardiogram (ECG) signal receiver configured to receive a target ECG signal, and a preprocessor configured to filter the target ECG signal. The apparatus further includes an authenticator configured to process the filtered target ECG signal based on a pattern of a reference ECG signal, and determine whether the target ECG signal corresponds to the reference ECG signal based on the processing.
