  • Patent number: 11394545
    Abstract: The present invention provides a secure technique that allows two communication apparatus that perform encrypted communication to have a common initial solution. A large number of user apparatuses all have a function of generating the same solution under the same condition as far as the user apparatuses have the same initial solution, and can perform encrypted communication using solutions successively generated in synchronization from the same initial solution. All the user apparatuses and a server share the same initial solution and have a function of generating the same solution under the same condition and thus can generate synchronized solutions. The server generates synchronization information, which is information required to generate the initial solution but is not the initial solution itself (S2002), and transmits the synchronization information to at least one of two user apparatuses performing encrypted communication (S2003).

  • Patent number: 11356253
    Abstract: To propose a technique for solving a key delivery problem. Both of a client and a server have a function of generating the same solution at the same date and time based on the same initial solution. The client sends identification information for identifying the client to the server (S1002). The client and the server generate the same solution with time synchronization based on the initial solution (S1003 and S2002). The client and the server perform encrypted communication using the same key as a common key (S1004 and S2003).

  • Publication number: 20220029819
    Abstract: SSL is improved with stronger defense against an attack from a third party, in particular, an MITMA. A client and a server each have the function of generating the same solution under the same conditions. The client generates a first solution (S1002) and transmits the solution to the server (S1003). When receiving the solution, the server generates a solution (S2002) and authenticates the client if the solution agrees with the solution received from the client (S2003). The server generates a new solution (S2004), encrypts a server certificate and an SSL certificate (S2005) by using the solution, and then transmits the certificates to the client (S2006). The client generates a new solution (S1005) and decrypts the server certificate and the SSL certificate by using the solution (S1006). The subsequent processing is identical to that of current SSL communications.

  • Publication number: 20200342448
    Abstract: Provided is technology for enabling an ordinary user to generate a virtual currency that is data created as crypto cash in the true sense of the word. A user ID and amount information that are input to a user terminal by a user are sent from the user terminal to a settlement device (S913). Upon receiving the user ID and amount information, the settlement device performs a credit determination (S922), and transmits permission information to the user terminal (S923). At the user terminal, upon receiving the permission information, original data that combines the user ID and the amount information is generated (S915), the original data is encrypted and thereby converted to virtual currency encryption data (S916), and virtual currency data including the virtual currency encryption data is generated (S917). The authenticity of the virtual currency data is guaranteed by the fact that the settlement device which received the virtual currency data could decrypt the virtual currency encryption data (S925).

  • Publication number: 20200313870
    Abstract: A technique of preventing a man-in-the-middle attack is proposed. An internet banking system includes a user terminal and a settlement device that can communicate with each other via a network. The user terminal generates original data containing instruction data related to an instruction to be executed by the settlement device (S802), encrypts the original data into encrypted instruction data (S803), and transmits the encrypted instruction data to the settlement device (S805, 901). The settlement device decrypts the encrypted instruction data to returns the encrypted instruction data to the original data (S902), and executes an operation specified by the instruction data contained in the original data (S904).

  • Publication number: 20200279037
    Abstract: A technique for preventing a man in the middle attack is proposed. A security gate system includes an admission card and a security gate apparatus. The admission card has condition data that is data for specifying a condition to be satisfied when or before or after encrypted authentication data are transferred from the admission card to the security gate apparatus. When a user attempts to enter a building, authentication data including condition data are generated in the admission card 100 (S802), and encrypted into encrypted authentication data (S803). The encrypted authentication data are transmitted from the admission card to the security gate apparatus (S804, S904), and decrypted to be returned to the authentication data (S905). The security gate apparatus performs authentication determination which is a determination as to whether a condition specified by the condition data included in the authentication data is satisfied (S906), and opens a gate plate when a determination result is positive (S907).
