Patent number: 11281430Abstract: In an information processing device, a fluctuation estimation unit acquires from a noise source a plurality of measured values having bits of M digits, where M is an integer exponent of a power of two. A bit extraction unit acquires information relating to a number of effective bits of N digits used in generating a random number, where N is an integer less than M, based on the acquired plurality of values. Using the information relating to the number of effective bits, a bit coupling unit generates a random number having effective bits of L digits, where L is a predetermined integer greater than or equal to N.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2018Date of Patent: March 22, 2022Assignee: PANASONIC CORPORATIONInventors: Atsurou Kitazawa, Kouji Mutou, Masaaki Kobayashi

Patent number: 11190354Abstract: A terminal exchanges a common key generated using a seed, the randomness of which was recognized in advance, with a verification server. The terminal generates verification data using a plurality of measured values from a noise source. The terminal encrypts the verification data with the common key and transmits the verification data to the verification server. The verification server verifies the randomness of verification data obtained by decrypting the encrypted verification data with the common key. When it is determined that the verification data has randomness, the verification server transmits a verification result indicating that the randomness of the verification data is recognized to the terminal. The terminal acquires a plurality of measured values and generates a new seed in accordance with the verification result from the server and preserves the new seed in a secure area.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2018Date of Patent: November 30, 2021Assignee: PANASONIC CORPORATIONInventors: Atsurou Kitazawa, Masaaki Kobayashi, Kouji Mutou

Patent number: 10230997Abstract: A resolution converter converts input image data to N types (N is a plural number) of image data having resolutions different with each other. A secret sharing unit performs secret sharing schemes so that the plurality of pieces of image data are respectively divided into n pieces (n is an integer equal to or more than N+1 and the same value in all of image data) of distributed data and the distributed data is reconstructed to original image data using k pieces (k is an integer equal to or more than 2 and equal to or less than n and different value for each piece of image data) among n pieces. A data combination unit generates n pieces of combination data by combining distributed data selected one by one so as not to overlap with each of resolutions and stores each piece of the combination data in different storages.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2015Date of Patent: March 12, 2019Assignee: PANASONIC INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY MANAGEMENT CO., LTD.Inventors: Masaaki Kobayashi, Masakatsu Matsuo, Kouji Mutou, Katsunori Kogata

Publication number: 20180176503Abstract: A signature to be used to verify whether or not an original version video captured by a camera has been altered is assigned in the camera to improve the evidential quality of the original version video captured by the camera. The camera (2) includes: an image pickup unit that captures a video of an area to be monitored; a CPU that generates, using a portion or the entirety of video data of the area to be monitored captured by the image pickup unit, a signature for verifying whether or not the video data have been altered; and a network communication unit that sequentially transmits, to a client terminal (4), signed video data obtained by assigning the signature generated by the CPU to the video data.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 20, 2018Publication date: June 21, 2018Inventors: Katsunori KOGATA, Masakatsu MATSUO, Hiroyuki TANAKA, Kouji MUTOU, Hideo NOGUCHI, Satoshi ARITA

Publication number: 20160218864Abstract: An encryption device includes a sharer that shares data to first data and second data with different sizes using secret sharing, a data encryptor that encrypts the second data with the size smaller than the first data using a common key corresponding to a common key encryption scheme, a combiner that combines the first data and the second data encrypted by the data encryptor, and a transmitter that transmits the encrypted data combined by the combiner to an external device. The encryption device suppresses deterioration in security at the time of delivery of the data while reducing a load of an encryption process for the data to be delivered.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 20, 2016Publication date: July 28, 2016Applicant: PANASONIC INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY MANAGEMENT CO., LTD.Inventors: Kouji Mutou, Masakatsu Matsuo, Katsunori Kogata
