Abstract: There are provided a message communication device and method. A message communication device according to an exemplary embodiment includes a header modifying unit configured to modify a message header by adding additional information used together with an identity when a public key corresponding to the identity of a recipient is generated to be the message header, and a message transmitting unit configured to transmit a message including data encrypted based on the public key and the modified message header.

Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a pattern input apparatus and a pattern input method for user authentication. According to the present disclosure, differently from the pattern function of the related art, the user does not directly input a pattern through a pattern lock interface, but inputs the pattern using a virtual manipulation interface which is separately provided. Therefore, it is strong to a smudge attack. The pattern input method of the present disclosure includes providing a virtual manipulation interface to input the pattern on the screen of the device to the user, separately from a pattern lock interface; and receiving the pattern through the virtual manipulation interface.

Abstract: A method for generating, operating, and using a sparse w-NAF key for encryption is disclosed. The method for generating a key comprises generating a string of a number of coefficients, in which at most one coefficient, excluding 0, among a consecutive w number of coefficients, corresponds to a positive odd integer equal to or less than 2w (w being a natural number equal to or more than 2); and outputting the generated string as a key. Accordingly, an encryption is executed through an exponential operation or scalar multiplication using a sparse w-NAF key having the scarce coefficients, excluding 0, such that an encryption pace is improved.
