  • Patent number: 11979312
    Abstract: An end-to-end path can be set without providing a hierarchy in a control device of a multi-domain network. A path setting system (10) includes an orchestrator 200 and a control device (100). The orchestrator (200) generates path candidates corresponding to a line of domains through which paths that are candidates for a path pass and transmits the path candidates to control devices (100) of domains through which the path candidates pass to request setting of the path. The control device (100) acquires, from the control devices (100) of other domains through which path candidates pass, metrics of the path candidates in the domains, calculates total metrics, selects an optimum path, and sets the optimum path.

  • Patent number: 10523669
    Abstract: A server has a communication interface, a database, a biometric authentication means, a password specifying means, and a password transmission means. The database stores information in which, for each registrant, biometric information, identification information of an application and a password are associated with one another. The biometric authentication means is configured to, upon receiving biometric information and identification information of an application from an external processing apparatus, execute biometric authentication by using the received biometric information and biometric information of a registrant registered in the database. If biometric authentication is successful, the password specifying means refers to the database and specifies a password corresponding to the identification information of a successfully authenticated registrant. The password transmission means transmits the specified password to the external processing apparatus via the communication interface.
