  • Patent number: 8667272
    Abstract: A content distribution method with broadcast encryption, comprising an encryption process that includes the computation of a ciphertext using a differential ciphertext generation method. The ciphertext needs to be recomputed whenever the subscriber set changes. The differential ciphertext generation method computes the new ciphertext by reusing previously preserved computational results of a previous ciphertext, thereby improving the efficiency of the system. A content distribution method with broadcast encryption also comprises a decryption process that includes the reconstruction of the encryption secret that is used for decrypting the encrypted content. A wide window point addition method is used in the encryption secret reconstruction. The wide window point addition method reuses previously preserved computational results of group-divided point additions of public parameters, thereby improving the efficiency of the system.

  • Patent number: 8499156
    Abstract: The invention discloses a method for implementing encryption and transmission of information and system thereof. The method comprises the following steps when a sender sends information to a receiver: a client of the sender encrypts the information by using a unique identifier of a receiver identity as a public key; the sender sends the encrypted information to the receiver; the receiver receives the encrypted information, and a client of the receiver performs decryption by using a user private key; wherein the client of the receiver obtains the user private key by one-off registration and the user private key matches with the unique identifier of the receiver identity. The system comprises an information transmission platform, a sender and a receiver connected to each other by the information transmission platform, clients provided in the sender and the receiver, and a registration component.
