Abstract: A pattern generating apparatus includes a setting unit, an identifying unit, and a generating unit. The setting unit sets a pattern area on a recording medium. The identifying unit identifies a position of the pattern area, which is arranged in a plane having a predetermined size with a specified position in the pattern area located at or substantially at a center of the plane, in the plane. The generating unit generates a pattern into which the identified position is coded.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes: a storage that associates each of a plurality of pieces of use limitation information with a characteristic information, and that stores each of the plurality of pieces of use limitation information and the characteristic information, which are associated with each other; and a selection unit that refers to the storage, and that selects, based on a result of comparison between a second document characteristic information of a document acquired from a specified document specified by and in response to an instruction specifying a document for which a policy for limitation on use is to be determined and the characteristic information associated with each of the plurality of pieces of use limitation information stored in the storage, a candidate for use limitation information to be used for the limitation on use of the specified document from the plurality of pieces of use limitation information.

Abstract: An information processing system is provided and includes first and second information processing apparatuses. The first information processing apparatuses includes a license issuing unit that issues a license permitting a utilization of information, and a registration requesting unit that gives a registration request to an information processing apparatus so as to register authentication information necessary for authenticating the license. The second information processing apparatus includes an information registering unit that registers the authentication information in response to the registration request from the first information processing apparatus, a request accepting unit that accepts an authentication request for authenticating the license, and an authenticating unit that authenticates the license based on the authentication information in response to the authentication request.

Abstract: The invention enables a provider and a retailer of digital contents to issue an electronic license to a consumer without wasting its own resources. A retailer sells digital contents to a consumer via the Internet. The retailer requests a license-issuing center to issue an electronic license corresponding to the digital contents and the user of the contents and receives the generated license. The user receives the license from the retailer via the Internet. The terminal used by the user certifies that he/she is a legitimate user using his/her license when he/she uses the digital contents provided from the provider. When the license is verified, the user can use the digital contents.

Abstract: Access privileges of a client are authenticated without using user account data. If an RSA modulus and public key have been assigned to the requested web page, the access privilege authentication controller 105 calls the challenge generator 107 to generate a challenge and transmits this challenge to the client 201 via the I/O controller 102. Subsequently, the access privilege authenticator 104 waits for a response from the client 201 sent via the I/O controller 102. When a response is received from the client 201, the access privilege authentication controller 105 calls the access privilege verifier 108 to verify whether the response is correct. If the response is correct, data indicating that the access privileges have been successfully authenticated is outputted, thereby alloying the client to access the requested service.

Abstract: Integrity of data is to be ensured in a simple manner. A data verifier generates a signature generation request from data to be signed and signature request time, and sends the request to a data generator. The data generator extracts the data to be signed from the signature generation request, and its signature generation unit generates a signature for the data. A key generation unit generates a key from a previous key, the signature request time in the signature generation request, and the identifier of the data generator, and an encryptor encrypts the signature. After that, the encrypted signature and the like are returned to the data verifier, which generates a decrypting key with a key generation unit from the previous key, the signature request time, and the identifier of the data generator, then extracts an encrypted signature, and decrypts it with a decryptor. A signature verification unit checks whether or not the result of decrypting is the correct signature.

Abstract: Booking venders are to be enabled to issue booking certificates without having to consume their own resources. Advance booking is made and sent to a retailer from a consumer terminal via the Internet. The retailer requests a booking certificate issuing center to issue a booking certificate associated with the product or the booking party, and receives the booking certificate issued from the booking certificate issuing center. The consumer terminal receives the booking certificate from the retailer via the Internet, and uses it to have itself verified to be the legitimate booking party by a verifying apparatus associated with a provider. The booking party can receive the supply of the booked product or service if its booking certificate is successfully verified.
