  • Publication number: 20240126915
    Abstract: A search execution device receives a trapdoor generated based on a user secret key in which a search auxiliary key and an attribute of a user are set and a search keyword, together with a key identifier (ID) that identifies the search auxiliary key. The search execution device decrypts an encrypted tag in which an attribute of a user who is allowed retrieval and a search word are set, using the received trapdoor and the search auxiliary key indicated by the received key ID, so as to identify a tag that is retrievable for the attribute set in the user secret key and contains a search word corresponding to the search keyword.

  • Patent number: 10235539
    Abstract: A server device 201 comprises a communication part 231, a search history storage region 213, a data storage part 210, and a checking part 220. The communication part receives a set of a trapdoor and a deterministic encrypted keyword from a search device 401. The search history storage region 213 stores the set of the trapdoor and the deterministic encrypted keyword. The data storage part 210 stores keyword information in which search target data and an encrypted keyword are associated with each other. If the deterministic encrypted keyword is obvious, a deterministic encrypted keyword corresponding to the encrypted keyword is additionally associated with the search target data and the encrypted keyword in the keyword information. The checking part 220 checks whether or not a deterministic encrypted keyword which matches the received deterministic encrypted keyword exists in the search history storage region 213.

  • Patent number: 10063348
    Abstract: A data generation device 101 transmits communication data bound for a data receiving device 105 from a transmission unit, and a monitoring device 103 receives the communication data. The monitoring device 103 requests retransmission of the communication data to the data generation device 101, and the data generation device 101 retransmits the communication data from a retransmission unit being different from the transmission unit. The monitoring device 103 receives retransmission data retransmitted from the retransmission unit, compares the communication data with the retransmission data.

  • Patent number: RE48146
    Abstract: A data search server stores a system ciphertext including a data ciphertext and a keyword ciphertext in each category-specific DB unit for each data category, and stores each category-determination secret key being associated with each category-specific DB unit. A search request receiving unit receives from a data search terminal a search request including a search trapdoor and an index tag. A data searching unit searches for a category-determination secret key with which the index tag is decrypted to the same value as a key-determination value. Using the search trapdoor, the data searching unit performs a search of a Public-key Encryption with Keyword Search scheme on system ciphertexts in a category-specific DB unit associated with this category-determination secret key. A search result transmitting unit transmits to the data search terminal a data ciphertext included in a system ciphertext which has been found as a hit in the search.
