Patent number: 7272717Abstract: Each embodiment of this invention implements step-by-step and empirical authentication of devices upon digital authentication among a plurality of devices. Each of a plurality of authentication devices of each embodiment can unidirectionally generate a hash value of a low experience rank from a hash value of a high experience rank, and receives a set of high experience rank and hash value in accordance with an experience. Upon receiving a certification request of the experience rank from another authentication device, the authentication device transmits a corresponding hash value to the authentication device as a request source. Upon sending a certification request of an experience rank to another authentication device, the authentication device verifies a hash value obtained from the other authentication device on the basis of a self hash value. In this way, the authentication devices authenticate each other's experience ranks.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2003Date of Patent: September 18, 2007Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventors: Shingo Miyazaki, Naoki Endo, Takehisa Kato, Daigo Yoshii, Koichi Noguchi, Hideo Shimizu, Toru Kambayashi, Yasuhiko Suzuki, Akio Okazaki, Kenichi Hiramatsu, Sunao Wada, Koji Mikami, Akira Toshima, Masao Suga, Akihiro Kasahara
