Abstract: A data transmitting node and a network inter-connection node suitable for use in the home network environment. In a case of transmitting information data from a data transmitting node connected with a physical network to a receiving node connected with the physical network or another physical network, a data transmitting node transmits the control message including an IP address information of a data transmission destination, a header/channel information dependent on the physical network, and an information indicating that the information data to be transmitted according to the header/channel information is data in an upper layer of an IP layer. The information data is then transmitted to the receiving node, where the information data contains the header/channel information and data of the upper layer without IP packet encapsulation. A network inter-connection node operates similarly.

Abstract: In a contents distribution system, a prescribed secret is stored in an encrypted state according to a corresponding program key by the contents receiving and viewing program executed at the reception device, so that this prescribed secret cannot be altered by a malicious person. Also, the contents transmission program executed at the transmission device authenticates the prescribed secret of the contents receiving and viewing program by using either the public key algorithm or the secret key algorithm, and transmits the contents by trusting the reception device only when that authentication succeeds.

Abstract: In an inner memory type tamper resistant microprocessor, a requested secret protection attribute requested for each access target memory page by a task is set and stored exclusively from other tasks, at a time of reading a program into memory pages and executing the program as the task, and a memory secret protection attribute is set and stored for each access target memory page by the task, at a time of executing the task. Then, an access to each access target memory page is refused when the requested secret protection attribute for each access target memory page and the memory secret protection attribute for each access target memory page do not coincide.

Abstract: A propylene polymer composition is prepared by mixing propylene home- or co-polymer (A) obtained using a transition metal catalyst compound (h), defined herein, with a co-catalyst, e.g., organoaluminum oxy compound, with an olefin elastomer (D) and another olefin polymer (E), e.g., polyethylene. Alternatively, the combination of propylene polymer (A), olefin elastomer (D) and olefin polymer (E) is prepared by a multi-stage polymerization method. In both cases, the propylene homo- or copolymer (A) may include a second propylene homo- or co-polymer (A′) wherein the ratio of intrinsic viscosities of propylene polymers (A) and (A′) is in the range of 3 to 30. These propylene polymer compositions are excellent in heat resistance, mechanical strength, tensile elongation at break, etc., and can be used in the fabrication of structural materials, films and sheets.

Abstract: In the method for sharing encrypted data region among two or more processes on a tamper resistant processor, one process creates the encrypted data region to be shared according to the common key generated as a result of the safe key exchange, and the other process maps that region to its own address space or process space. The address information of the shared encrypted data region and the common key of each process are set in relation in the encrypted attribute register inside the tamper resistant processor, so that it is possible to share the encrypted data region safely.
