Abstract: The present invention provides a migration apparatus that realizes safe migration of data between devise that use different encryption algorithms and different security authentication levels. The fourth electronic terminal device 2502 sends, to the migration authority 2501, a request for migration of a virtual machine to the fifth electronic terminal device 2503. If the fifth electronic terminal device 2503 is not an illegitimate device, the migration authority 2501 sends a migration request to the fifth electronic terminal device 2503. The fifth electronic terminal device 2503 sends, to the migration authority 2501, a digital signature and so on, together with the request. The migration authority 2501 makes a judgment. If the result is “OK”, the migration authority 2501 sends the result “OK” to the fifth electronic terminal device 2503.

Abstract: An encrypted-data decrypting apparatus that provides enhanced security protection for programs and data while they are in the processes of decryption to execution after having been encrypted. When a decrypted partial program needs to be loaded into the shared memory M, the controlling unit 11 loads it into an area indicated by the memory location information. According to the memory location information, a plurality of partial programs are sequentially loaded into an area so that one partial program gets overwritten by another; therefore, none of the partial programs exists in the memory for a long time, and thus there is less possibility of having the partial programs referred to illegitimately. In addition, since every time some data is decrypted, the decryption support program authenticating unit 13 confirms authenticity of the decryption support program P, it is possible to prevent having illegitimate references in which the decryption support program is abused.

Abstract: A tamper detection device detects tampering with a program loaded to memory, at high speed and without compromising the safety. Prior to loading of a program, a dividing-size determining unit 12 determines a block size based on random number information, a dividing unit 13 divides the program by the block size into data blocks, and a first conversion unit 14 converts, by conducting a logical operation, the data blocks into intermediate authentication data no greater than the block size, and a second conversion unit 15 conducts a second conversion on the intermediate authentication data to generate authentication data. The authentication data and the block size are stored. After the program loading, a program resulting from the loading is divided by the block size, followed by the first and second conversions to generate comparative data. The comparative data is compared with the authentication data to detect tampering of the loaded program.
