Abstract: According to one embodiment, even when the information media controlling apparatus which requests replication registration of electronic data and the information media controlling apparatus which acquires a child management file generated by replication registration are separate apparatuses, the information management server apparatus registers a child management ID of electronic data and a post office box ID of the acquisition destination of a child management file, in the post office box management table based on replication registration request information received from one information media controlling apparatus, and has the other information media controlling apparatus which is the acquisition destination acquire the child management file based on the post office box management table.

Abstract: A cryptographic module management apparatus searches for cryptographic module meta-information based on the category information of a requested cryptographic module and, if associated cryptographic module category information is contained in this cryptographic module meta-information, searches for the cryptographic module meta-information of an associated cryptographic module, to generate composite type cryptographic module evaluation information based on this cryptographic module meta-information, select a cryptographic module based on this composite type cryptographic module evaluation information, and read this cryptographic module from a cryptographic module storage portion and output such composite type cryptographic module evaluation information.

Abstract: In a cryptographic module distribution system, a cryptographic management server apparatus encrypts a cryptographic module using a key shared by a cryptographic apparatus, and transmits the encrypted cryptographic module to a client apparatus. The client apparatus transmits the encrypted cryptographic module to a cryptographic apparatus. The cryptographic apparatus decrypts the encrypted cryptographic module using the key shared by the cryptographic management server apparatus, and transmits the decrypted cryptographic module to the client apparatus. The client apparatus stores the received cryptographic module.
