Abstract: A supporting mechanism for a supporting device that supports supporting arms to which a pressing down load is applied on one side relative to an attaching element such that the former are mobile at least in a horizontal direction, as well as a supporting device having a supporting mechanism is disclosed. The solution is sought by using a swivel torque hinge having a friction torque generating mechanism using elastic members such as friction washers and spring washers for the supporting mechanism by pivotally supporting a shaft upper portion of a hinge shaft of the swivel torque hinge on an attaching hole portion provided on the supporting arms by providing a bracket supporting the supporting arms on the hinge shaft via the friction torque generating mechanism.

Abstract: UIMID of a UIM 50 owned by the owner of a portable phone 40 is stored in an owner information registration area 410b of phone 40. A CPU 405 of portable phone 40, upon receiving content, compares a UIMID of a UIM 50 inserted in phone 40 to the UIMID registered in owner information registration area 410b. The storing of the content in a nonvolatile memory 410 is permitted only when the two UIMIDs agree with each other.

Abstract: Mobile unit 16 which can activate Java-AP software receives SDF (Security Descriptive File) 204 from administering server unit 18 which a trustworthy organization (a communication provider which administers mobile packet communication network 15) administers, and obtains ADF 205 from IP server unit 13 by using URL contained in the SDF, and obtains Jar file 206 from IP server unit 13 by using ADF 205, and installs in itself Java-AP containing these files. Java-AP, which is achieved by activating the installed Java-AP software, operates within the range of authorization expressed by policy information contained in SDF 204.

Abstract: An object is to provide a service providing method capable of curbing rise of cost A service providing method according to the present invention is one for providing services A and B, which authenticates a user of an authentication requesting terminal in order to make service A available to the user and which determines whether service B is available to the user, in a state in which the user is authenticated about service A. When service B is determined to be available, a permission message is stored and a permission response based on the permission message for utilization of service B is transmitted to the authentication requesting terminal. Then the permission message on which a utilization request message from a service utilizing terminal is based, is verified, and, if it is in an available status, the service utilizing terminal is permitted to utilize service B.

Abstract: A voter Vi encrypts his vote content vi with a public key kPC of a counter C, then concatenates the encrypted vote content xi with a tag ti to obtain a ballot zi, then randomizes it with a random number ri to create a preprocessed text ei, and sends it and a signature si therefor to an election administrator A. The administrator A generates a blind signature di for the preprocessed text ei and sends it back to the voter Vi. The voter Vi excludes the influence of the random number ri from the blind signature di to obtain administrator signature yi, and sends vote data <zi, yi> to a counter C. The counter C verifies the validity of the administrator signature yi and, if valid, generates and publishes a vote list containing the data <zi, yi> to the voter Vi. The voter Vi checks the vote list to make sure that it contains the data <zi, yi> with his tag ti held in the ballot zi.
