  • Patent number: 9681330
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for collecting the radio frequency (RF) feature of a wireless device in a wireless communication apparatus are disclosed herein. The RF feature extraction unit adds a tag having a unique value to a received radio signal, and extracts RF feature information from the radio signal. The MAC information extraction unit extracts the source MAC address and tag information of a MAC protocol frame from the received radio signal, and then removes the added tag. The tag comparison unit selects an source MAC address and RF feature information, when the tags have the same value, from the RF feature information and tag information from the RF feature extraction unit and the source MAC address and tag information from the MAC information extraction unit. The RF feature storage unit stores the selected source MAC address and RF feature information.

  • Patent number: 8645690
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method of verifying key validity and a server for performing the method. The method is configured such that a service provision server verifies key validity in an anonymous service for providing local linkability. The service provision server receives a revocation list. A local revocation list is generated using the received revocation list and a secret key. A virtual index of a service user required to verify key validity is calculated. Whether a key of the service user is valid is verified, based on whether the virtual index is included in the local revocation list.

  • Patent number: 8571210
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a content protection apparatus and method using binding of additional information to an encryption key. The content protection apparatus includes an encryption unit for creating an encryption key required to encrypt data requested by a user terminal and then generating encrypted data in which the data is encrypted. An additional information management unit manages additional information including authority information about the encrypted data. A White-Box Cryptography (WBC) processing unit generates a WBC table required to bind the encryption key corresponding to the encrypted data to the additional information. A bound data generation unit generates bound data in which the encrypted key is bound to the additional information, using a cipher included in the WBC table.

  • Patent number: 8499158
    Abstract: There is provided an anonymous service method of providing local linkability. The anonymous service method providing local linkability according to exemplary embodiments of the invention, an anonymous authentication operation based on a short group signature is performed, for which the concept of a local linkability is introduced to secure linkability within the same service domain. Namely, in the interior of a service provider, a virtual index having a fixed value is calculated for each service user, and in this case, although a plurality of service providers collude with each other, they cannot calculate a virtual index having the same value, whereby the linkability can be secured within the same service domain but not within the interiors of different service domains.
