  • Patent number: 9667616
    Abstract: A communication apparatus sends a processing request, including request information, a digital signature, and an electronic certificate, to a control apparatus. The control apparatus sends a verification request including the electronic certificate to a verification server. The verification server verifies the electronic certificate included in the verification request, and sends authentication-use reference information, including the verification result, as a verification response, to the control apparatus. When the verification result included in the authentication-use reference information indicates validity, the control apparatus, using the request information and a public key included in the electronic certificate, verifies whether or not the digital signature is valid. When the digital signature is valid, the control apparatus performs the requested processing in accordance with the request information, and sends a processing response, to the communication apparatus.

  • Patent number: 8479001
    Abstract: In a system where a communication device performs secure communication by using a digital certificate, to enable a device of a communication party to verify that a self certificate is certainly generated by a device indicated on the self certificate even if the self certificate is not delivered offline in advance. Based on a master key and a public parameter, a communication device generates an ID-based encryption private key for which a device unique ID is used as a public key. Then, the communication device generates the digital signature of an RSA public key as a ID-based encryption signature by using the ID-based encryption private key. Then, the communication device generates an RSA self signature for the RSA public key, an expiration date, a host name, the device unique ID, and the ID-based encryption signature as the target. Then, the communication device generates a self-signed certificate to include the ID-based encryption signature and the RSA self signature.
