  • Patent number: 11611546
    Abstract: When a client certificate is required to connect to a client according to a predetermined communication protocol, a server receives a connection request that is a message associated with specific information from the client in a handshake for connection with the client. The server makes a client judgement as to whether or not a cache hit occurs, which is to find a summary client certificate in a cache area using the specific information associated with the connection request. When the result of the client judgement is true, the server returns to the client a connection response including hit information indicating that a cache hit occurs.

  • Patent number: 11252265
    Abstract: A packet according to a secure protocol over a high-speed protocol has a small size header. A reception system estimates a packet number which is used in processing of a packet having a small size header on the basis of information indicating a packet number of a received packet. The header of each of one or more packets among N packets (where N is an integer of two or more) is a small size header, which is either a first header having one part of the packet number of the packet or a second header without the packet number of the packet. When the small size header is the first header, the header of each of the N packets is the first header. When the small size header is the second header, the header of each of the packets other than one packet among the N packets is the second header.

  • Patent number: 10320772
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to solve a problem that time is required for a process related to verification of a public key certificate of a message sender. An in-vehicle device mounted on a vehicle has a memory for holding information of a device which failed in verification of a public key certificate. At the time of performing communication between vehicles or between a vehicle and a roadside device, a check is made to see whether or not information of a device included in a message transmitted matches information of a device which failed and held in the memory. When the information matches, verification of a public key certificate is not performed.
