  • Patent number: 7500605
    Abstract: It is an object to provide a tamper resistant device and a file generation method which can store right value information such as a ticket information, and guarantee validity of the right value information without executing a digital signature processing. An IC card 102 attached to a portable terminal 100 receives, from an application 101, right value information representing a right value and a file generation message instructing generation of a rights-file. The right value information includes file data representing the right value, data size and the like. Upon determining that a file generation message is received, the IC card 102 generates a rights-file including the IC card identification ID and right value information which are previously stored in the IC card 102.

  • Publication number: 20080109371
    Abstract: Between an IC card (1) and a electronic ticket server (2), upon purchasing an electronic ticket a public key cryptosystem is employed for a mutual authentication to keep a strict security, and a shared secret between the electronic ticket and a ticket collecting machine is sent on a secure channel as well as the electronic ticket. Upon usage of the electronic ticket, the IC card (1) and the ticket collecting machine (6) mutually judge whether they carry out the mutual authentication by using a public key cryptosystem or a symmetric key cryptosystem. When they determine to use the symmetric key cryptosystem, they carry out the mutual authentication by using the shared secret exchanged beforehand. When they determine to use the public key cryptosystem, they carry out the mutual authentication by using the same method as that used upon purchasing the electronic ticket.

  • Patent number: 7340243
    Abstract: Each IC card 1 notifies a server 3 of the ID of the IC card and the connection information of a terminal device to which the IC card is connected. The server 3 stores the ID and the connection information in a database 4 while associating the ID and the connection information with each other. When an IC card 1 communicates with another IC card, the IC card 1 requests the connection information concerning the destination IC card from the server 3 while specifying the ID of this IC card. The server 3 searches the database 4 for the connection information corresponding to the ID specified by the request, and notifies the requesting IC card 1 of the acquired connection information. This enables communications between IC cards even if the terminal device to which a destination IC card is connected has been changed in the past.

  • Publication number: 20060259430
    Abstract: A user device uses, instead of agreement information, only second session information contained in the agreement information, to generate an electronic signature for information containing the session information and information indicating an abort request, and outputs abort request information containing the session information, the information indicating the abort request, and the electronic signature, whereby transmission/reception can be performed without unnecessary information. Similarly, it may be configured to use only the second session information to generate an electronic signature for information containing the session information and information indicating a commitment request, and to output commitment request information containing the electronic signature. Since a third-party device defines a third session state as abort in correspondence to the second session information, it is able to manage states while appropriately discriminating a plurality of concurrent electronic value exchanges.

  • Publication number: 20060245594
    Abstract: In a mobile terminal that performs transmission and reception of a message between an IC card and a terminal program, the security is improved by preventing an imposture of a source of a message or an interception of a message. A mobile terminal comprises an IC card and a terminal program. The terminal program generates a program identifier (i1:1) from a domain ID “i1” of the IC card and a port number “1” that can be updated in the IC card. Then, a message is transmitted, the source ID of which is the program identifier and the destination ID of which is the identifier “i1:0” of the IC card. Upon receipt of the message, the IC card collates the domain ID with the domain ID that the IC card has, as to the source ID. When they coincide, processing in accordance with the contents of the above-mentioned message is performed.
