Abstract: A major management apparatus, an authorized management apparatus, an electronic apparatus for delegated key management and key management methods thereof are provided. The major management apparatus generates a first delegation deployment message and a second delegation deployment message, which are transmitted to the authorized management apparatus and the electronic apparatus, respectively. The authorized management apparatus encrypts an original key management message into a key management message by an authorization key included in the first delegation deployment message. The original key management message includes an operation code and a key identity. The electronic apparatus decrypts the key management message into the original key management message by the authorization key included in the second delegation deployment message. The electronic apparatus selects an application key according to the key identity and operates the application key based on the operation code.

Abstract: A major management apparatus, an authorized management apparatus, an electronic apparatus for delegation management, and delegation management methods thereof are provided. The major management apparatus generates a first and a second delegation deployment messages and respectively transmits them to the authorized management apparatus and the electronic apparatus. The authorized management apparatus encrypts an original authorized operation message into an authorized operation message by an authorization key included in the first delegation deployment message and transmits the authorized operation message to the electronic apparatus. The original authorized operation message includes an operation task message and a right level. The electronic apparatus decrypts the authorized operation message into the original authorized operation message by the authorization key included in the second delegation deployment message and performs an operation according to the operation task message and the right level.

Abstract: A system, a method, and a computer readable medium for micropayment with varying denomination are disclosed. The method utilizes a secret value, a public information, a number base parameter, a bit parameter, and merged one-way hash chains to calculate a root for providing a certificate of a transaction among a customer, a merchant and a service device. Therefore, the purpose of varying denomination for micropayment system can be achieved and the trade safety and the efficiency during the transaction process can be enhanced as well.

Abstract: A two-factor authentication system is provided for securing online transactions. In the two-factor authentication system, a transaction server provides online transaction services. A mobile communication device receives short messages. A client computing device applies a first authentication function to communicate with the transaction server, receives, via short messages, a first authentication code used to authenticate the transaction server, and applies a second authentication function to generate a second authentication code. Next, the transaction server authenticates the client computing device with the second authentication function and second authentication code.

Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for generating and verifying a voice signature of a message and computer readable medium thereof are provided. The generation and verification ends both use the same set of pronounceable symbols. The set of pronounceable symbols comprises a plurality of pronounceable units, and each of the pronounceable units comprises an index and a pronounceable symbol. The generation end converts the message into a message digest by a hash function and generates a plurality of designated pronounceable symbols according to the message digest. A user utters the designated pronounceable symbols to generate the voice signature. After receiving the message and the voice signature, the verification end performs voice authentication to determine a user identity of the voice signature, performs speech recognition to determine the relation between the message and the voice signature, and determines whether the user generates the voice signature for the message.
