Abstract: A re-encryption system according to this embodiment includes a file sharing apparatus and a re-encryption apparatus. Upon receiving a file request from the client apparatus, the file sharing apparatus acquires a first encrypted file based on the file request, and transmits a re-encryption request including the first encrypted file to the re-encryption apparatus. The re-encryption apparatus re-encrypts the first encrypted file included in the re-encryption request to the second encrypted file based on the re-encryption key, and transmits the second encrypted file to the file sharing apparatus. The file sharing apparatus transmits the second encrypted file to the client apparatus. The client apparatus obtains the file by decrypting the second encrypted file based on a private key corresponding to the public key of the member.

Abstract: A HTTP request addressed to a first resource on a second device outside the network is received from a first device within the network. The HTTP request is redirected to a third device within the network. A first encrypted connection is established between the first device and the third device, and a second encrypted connection between the third device and the second device. The third device retrieves the first resource from the second device. The first resource is modified to change pointers within the first resource to point to location in a domain associated with the third device within the network. The third device serves, to the first device, the second resource.

Abstract: Methods and a system involve secure communication between an RFID tag and a reader via the over-the-air interface, and to corresponding RFID tags and corresponding readers. A modification of the Rabin method is employed wherein within the framework of the encryption of a plaintext M into which an identification element of the RFID tag or of an object furnished therewith is incorporated, there is computed by the RFID tag, the Montgomery residue (Montgomery reduction) of the square of the plaintext M modulo n with respect to a Montgomery base R, i.e. C*=M2R?1 mod n, and the resultant ciphertext C* is employed for authenticating the RFID tag. The modulus n=p·q is the public key of the reader, the prime numbers p, q are the private key of the reader, and the Montgomery base R is an integer that is larger than the modulus n.

Abstract: A system is disclosed for protecting a network against malicious attacks or attempts for unauthorized access. A network is connected to an external network by a number of firewalls. Inspectors detect packets blocked by the firewalls and some or all of the packets are detected to a labyrinth configured to emulated an operational network and response to the packets in order to engage an attacker. Blocked packets may be detected by comparing packets entering and exiting a firewall. Packets for which a corresponding packets are not received within a transit delay may be identified as blocked. Entering and exiting packets may be compared by comparing only header information. A central module may receive information from the inspectors and generate statistical information and generate instructions for the inspectors, such as blacklists of addresses known to be used by attackers.

Abstract: A technique controls access to a protected resource. The technique involves providing a tokencode prompt to a user. The tokencode prompt requests a tokencode from an electronic token in possession of the user. The technique further involves receiving, in response to the tokencode prompt, a current tokencode from the electronic token in possession of the user. The technique further involves performing, by a SOHO device having an embedded tokencode authentication server, an authentication operation based on the current tokencode. A result of the authentication operation (i) permits the user to access the protected resource when the authentication operation determines that the user is legitimate and (ii) denies the user access to the protected resource when the authentication operation determines that the user is not legitimate. For example, the SOHO device may be a NAS device or a firewall device which with tokencode authentication capabilities.
