Patent number: 10681659Abstract: It takes a processing time to perform a security process on a time synchronization message, thus the difference of a delay time required for the security process can be made between a time at which the time synchronization message is actually transmitted and a transmission time assigned to the time synchronization message, and therefore, the difference between the actual transmission time of the time synchronization message and the assigned transmission time needs to be reduced. In generation of a secure time synchronization message in the synchronization system according to embodiments of the present invention, most of the security processes is performed in an upper layer which is an MAC layer or a higher layer, and processes including the assignment of the transmission time and assignment of authentication information for authenticating validity of the transmission time are performed in a physical layer.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 2018Date of Patent: June 9, 2020Assignee: Oki Electric Industry Co., Ltd.Inventors: Taketsugu Yao, Hiroshi Nishimura, Kota Tsuchie

Patent number: 9197418Abstract: In a sensor network system, a transmitter device uses a message authentication key generated by a message generator to transmit a message with authenticator to plural receiver devices, which in reply produce a certification by a certification generator from a message with authenticator held by a message holder to transmit the certification to the transmitter device. An information generator of the transmitter device uses an identification from a reception checker and the message authentication key thus generated to generate an authentication key notification, which will be transmitted to receiver devices having transmitted the certification. In the receiver devices, the message holder holds the authentication key notification, from which an authentication key acquirer acquires the message authentication key, which a message authenticator uses to compare the message with authenticator generated with the message with authenticator held in the message holder to confirm the received message.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 2011Date of Patent: November 24, 2015Assignee: Oki Electric Industry Co., Ltd.Inventor: Taketsugu Yao

Patent number: 8578163Abstract: A communication method in which an operation, such as authentication, required when a new communication terminal participates in a mesh network is carried out in a more efficient manner. A second communication terminal that has already established an adjacent communication link with at least two first communication terminals, out of a plurality of communication terminals, distributes an adjacent terminal list including terminal identifiers of the first communication terminals along with a temporal key generated by the second communication terminal.

Patent number: 8503677Abstract: A communication device receives secure communication frames on which a security transform has been performed to permit authentication. The communication device maintains an authentication history and a local time varying parameter. In multi-hop communication, the communication device provisionally verifies the freshness of a received secure communication frame by verifying that identifying information extracted from the frame is not already present in the authentication history and that a received time varying parameter extracted from the frame is not older than the local time varying parameter by more than a certain margin. If these freshness tests both pass, the frame is authenticated. If authentication succeeds, the frame is transmitted on the next hop without performance of a new security transform.Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 2010Date of Patent: August 6, 2013Assignee: Oki Electric Industry Co., Ltd.Inventors: Taketsugu Yao, Kiyoshi Fukui, Jun Nakashima

Patent number: 8364962Abstract: A receiving device sends challenge information to a transmitting device. The transmitting device initializes a time varying parameter and transmits communication data together with data derived from the challenge information to the receiving device. Subsequent communication data, if any, are then transmitted together with data derived from the time varying parameter. The receiving device uses the challenge information to verify the freshness of the communication data transmitted first, and uses the time varying parameter to verify the freshness of the subsequent communication data. Freshness can be verified without having to maintain any type of verification data during sleep periods, and without having to send a separate challenge for each data transmission.Type: GrantFiled: June 9, 2010Date of Patent: January 29, 2013Assignee: Oki Electric Industry Co., Ltd.Inventors: Taketsugu Yao, Kiyoshi Fukui

Patent number: 8209536Abstract: In a message authentication system in which a message is transmitted from a message transmission apparatus 100 to individual message reception apparatuses 120 through wireless communication connecting the message transmission apparatus 100 with the message reception apparatuses 120 via intermediary message reception apparatuses and the message is authenticated at each message reception apparatus, the message transmission apparatus first transmits an electronic signature to each message reception apparatus as a message transmission notification and then transmits the message and an authentication key to the message reception apparatus after allowing a predetermined time lag. Thus, the message reception apparatus does not need to hold the message before the authentication key is published (FIG. 7).Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2006Date of Patent: June 26, 2012Assignee: Oki Electric Industry Co., Ltd.Inventor: Taketsugu Yao

Patent number: 8045693Abstract: A message sending device sends a message. A message receiving device generates reception authentication information of the message when receiving the message, and further generates reception confirmation information of the message by using the reception authentication information of the message, to send the reception confirmation information of the message to a reception confirmation information verification device. The reception confirmation information verification device verifies the received reception confirmation information. The message sending device obtains a reception confirmation of the message for the message receiving device based on the verification result.
