Publication number: 20130333045Abstract: A security level of each service is calculated and visualized. The device includes a security level calculation unit and a security level visualization unit. The security level calculation unit receives information regarding security of the service from a plurality of sensors as observation information, and calculates a security level of each service based on the received observation information and a security level calculation policy. The security level visualization unit outputs the security level of each service, based on the security level calculated by the security level calculation unit and configuration information of the service. Further, the security level calculation policy has a service, a user using the service, and an observation item to be observed in the service. The security level calculation unit calculates the security level in association with the user of the service and the service, based on the security level calculation policy.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 8, 2011Publication date: December 12, 2013Applicant: HITACHI, LTD.Inventors: Tomohiro Shigemoto, Hirofumi Nakakoji, Tetsuro Kito, Hisashi Umeki, Satoshi Takemoto, Tadashi Kaji, Satoshi Kai

Publication number: 20120272326Abstract: A tokenization unit that tokenizes a real name ID to a different tokenized ID according to a user's service usage situation, a service history analyzing unit that analyzes service history data, a tokenized ID checking unit that determines whether different tokenized IDs are the same in analyzing a plurality of items of service history data including the different tokenized IDs, and a tokenization change management unit that manages a service usage situation the same as that of tokenization by the tokenization unit. The service history analyzing unit performs: a predetermined service history analysis if a target is a service usage situation in which the same tokenized ID appears; and a predetermined service history analysis as different tokenized IDs are considered to be the same user by the tokenized ID checking unit if a target is a service usage situation in which a different tokenized ID appears.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 27, 2012Publication date: October 25, 2012Inventors: SATOSHI KAI, Tetsuro Kito, Hisashi Umeki, Satoshi Takemoto

Patent number: 6512829Abstract: A key distribution method and system are disclosed in which a sender and receivers share a common key information for performing a secure broadcast communication. By use of a center side apparatus, a center generates key information of a receiver in association with a subset inclusive of two or more elements of a proper finite set S1 on the basis of a space determined by a subset inclusive of two or more elements of another finite set S2. A sender side apparatus, a sender makes the multi-address transmission of key distribution data W inclusive of data generated corresponding to each element of the finite set S1 and data generated corresponding to a set of plural receivers through a communication network. By use of a receiver side apparatus, a receiver generates common key information between the sender and the receiver from the key distribution data W and the key information of the receiver.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 2000Date of Patent: January 28, 2003Assignee: Hitach, Ltd.Inventors: Mototsugu Nishioka, Hisashi Umeki, Susumu Matsui

Publication number: 20020015491Abstract: A cipher communication method by public key cryptosystem, being provably secure and highly efficient, wherein a sender generates ciphertext within a sender device using a receiver's public key and sends the ciphertext over a communication line, and a receiver decrypts the ciphertext using a secret key. For n=pdq (p and q are prime integers, and pq is k bits), a plaintext space is set to be a subset of an open set (0,2k−2) and small residue groups, and an algorithm is formed so that the relationship among solutions of plural second-order equations can be clarified. This has enabled security to be proved by equivalence with the difficulty of the problem of prime factorization, and has achieved faster decryption processing, compared with conventional methods.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 9, 2001Publication date: February 7, 2002Inventors: Mototsugu Nishioka, Hisayoshi Sato, Hisashi Umeki, Yoichi Seto

Patent number: 6189032Abstract: A client-server system is provided in which access to a service by a user can properly be controlled, even if an approval by another user is required for receiving the service. First, the server 2 executes a log-in processing by using a user identifier and password transmitted from the client terminal 2, and a user control file 202. Next, the server 2 executes a service control by using a service supply request transmitted from the client terminal 1 and a service control file 42 provided with the server. When the server determines that an approval by another user is required for providing the service, the server executes the approval request to the client terminal 1 that the concerned user uses. When the reply to the approval request is affirmative, the server executes the processing in accordance with the foregoing service supply request. When the reply is negative, the server informs to the user who made the foregoing service supply request that the approval is rejected.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 1998Date of Patent: February 13, 2001Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Seiichi Susaki, Hisashi Umeki, Katsuyuki Umezawa, Seiji Miyazaki, Kazuo Matsunaga, Makoto Kitagawa
