MITHRA3 app is an app that allows you to experience lifestyle certification.
Lifestyle authentication achieves personal authentication by discovering individual characteristics from daily behavior patterns. Anyone interested in lifestyle authentication can install the app and experience the new authentication method. A few days after installation, it detects the user's behavior pattern, and if the situation is the same as the user's normal behavior pattern, authentication is OK.
At the University of Tokyo Social ICT Research Center, we are researching ``lifestyle authentication'' as a fourth new authentication method in addition to conventional authentication methods (memory, possession, and biometrics), with the aim of creating more convenient social infrastructure. When using various services that require personal authentication, by linking with this app, you can provide ease of login and payment and strengthen security.
In early 2021, we are planning two events: (1) a demonstration experiment of this app alone and (2) a service collaboration demonstration experiment. A separate notice will be sent to the regions where the demonstration experiment will be conducted to recruit participants.
This app is basically an app that operates independently of linked services, and its unique feature is that it can be used as a standalone app, and it contributes to improving the value of a variety of other services by using the app's personal authentication technology.
By using this app in the form of demonstration experiments and service collaboration, users can not only obtain new personal authentication functions, but also enjoy a new style of gamification and contribute to solving social issues. The University of Tokyo can use it to demonstrate and improve the accuracy of lifestyle authentication methods.
This app acquires location information even when the app is not displayed and understands the user's lifestyle patterns. The acquired location information will be recognized as an approximate location with the accuracy of latitude and longitude reduced. The purpose is not to identify the location, but to recognize whether the user will return to the location. This will enable new personal authentication by determining whether the person is away from their usual range of activity, such as at home or work, or whether they are behaving differently than usual. We do not collect information that can be linked to individuals, such as phone numbers, email addresses, and mobile phone identification numbers.

Starting with this demonstration experiment and service collaboration, we plan to collaborate with various services in the future.
