  • Patent number: 11388001
    Abstract: An encrypted communication is correctly decrypted even when key exchange completion notification is delayed. A key storage (10) stores at least one common key which is shared with another encrypted communication device. A key selecting unit (11) selects an encryption key from the at least one common key stored in the key storage (10). An encrypting unit (12) generates encrypted data by encrypting, by using the encryption key, data to be transmitted to the other encrypted communication device. A transmitting unit (13) transmits, to the other encrypted communication device, the encrypted data with a key index, by which the encryption key is uniquely identified, added thereto. A receiving unit (14) receives the encrypted data with the key index added thereto from the other encrypted communication device. A key obtaining unit (15) obtains, from the at least one common key stored in the key storage (10), a decryption key corresponding to the key index added to the encrypted data.

  • Patent number: 10673629
    Abstract: A server sends a key update request for requesting updating of the key, to a client terminal. The client terminal sends, to a key delivery server, a key delivery request for requesting the delivery of a key to the client terminal. The key delivery server delivers a key to the client terminal. The client terminal sends, to the server, a key reception notice indicating that the delivered key was received. The server sends, to the client terminal, a key-use start notice indicating that the client terminal starts data transmission and reception by using the delivered key with a different client terminal from the aforementioned client terminal. The client terminal performs data transmission and reception with the different client terminal by using the delivered key.

  • Patent number: 10275960
    Abstract: At the time of setting authority, a management apparatus stores a database in which authority information corresponding to authority to physically drive a drive apparatus, which is a tangible object, using a terminal apparatus, and registration identification information corresponding to a subject that is given the authority are associated, and outputs information representing any of the registration identification information; and a permission apparatus receives and stores the information. At the time of exercising the authority, the terminal apparatus outputs information representing identification information, and the permission apparatus receives the information and, when the identification information corresponds to registration identification information comprised in setting information, outputs information representing authority exercise information required to exercise the authority.

  • Patent number: 9735963
    Abstract: A private key is held which conforms to an ElGamal encryption system on a semigroup, calculation of an order of an element of the semigroup being computationally difficult, information corresponding to ciphertext conforming to the ElGamal encryption system is input, a private key s is used to decrypt the information corresponding to the ciphertext in conformance to the ElGamal encryption system, and information corresponding to a result of decrypting the ciphertext is obtained and output. Alternatively, whether it is computationally difficult or easy to calculate the order of the element of the semigroup is determined, and the safety of a decryption service providing device is evaluated based on the determination result.

    Abstract: A key storage apparatus which prevents a service from being resumed with the same configuration as a configuration during an arithmetic processing provision period, a key storage method, and a program therefor. The key storage apparatus is such that it is assumed that, before expiration of a period for providing arithmetic processing using a key, the key is secretly managed, and that the key is outputted when the period expires, and the key storage apparatus comprises: a one-way function section causing a one-way function to act on first information to generate the key; a storage section secretly storing the first information during the period; and an expiration judging section eliminating the first information from the storage section and outputting the key when the period expires.
