  • Patent number: 8108906
    Abstract: The present invention provides an electronic document authenticity assuring method in which a series of procedures concerning redactable signature are divided into procedures dependent on a document to be signed and procedures dependent on a redactable signature method. Further, the present invention provides program codes that realize the divided procedures and a system comprising apparatuses for implementing those program codes. According to the present invention, even when type of electronic document to be signed is changed or added to, it is sufficient to add a procedure dependent on a document to be signed, without changing procedures dependent on redactable signature methods. Similarly, even when a redactable signature method is to be changed or added, it is sufficient to add a procedure dependent on the redactable signature method without changing procedures dependent on document to be signed.

  • Patent number: 7941667
    Abstract: A need exists for a technology for guaranteeing the authenticity of an electronic document, and an information disclosure system, which can guarantee the authenticity of a disclosed document and delete information regarded as inappropriate for disclosure. An electronic document is divided into components, and a random number generated from a seed value is concatenated to each of the components. A hash value is calculated for each of the components with which the random numbers have been concatenated. The calculated hash values are further concatenated using a hash function to generate data to which an digital signature is applied.

  • Patent number: 7840487
    Abstract: Disclosure of information is controlled selectively depending on users such that a plurality of users having different roles bearing no inclusive relation with one another can access the same area. Content is divided into a plurality of areas. For each of the areas obtained by division, secret keys (encryption/decryption keys in symmetric-key cryptography) are generated. The generated keys are encrypted using public keys in public-key cryptography, which are set in advance for the users depending on their respective roles. In the case where the content is to be disclosed to a plurality of users having different roles, the encryption of secret keys is performed separately for each user. These encrypted contents and encrypted secret keys are used to generate encrypted text.

  • Patent number: 7499541
    Abstract: An object of the invention is to allow cipher strength evaluation when available resources such as the complexity and the number of plaintext available for decryption have conditions, and to allow comparison of cipher strength under given conditions. The invention combines the exhaustive search with an algebraic method, sets conditions for resources such as the complexity and the number of plaintext available for decryption beforehand, and utilizes the linear dependency of a decryption equation for use in decryption to optimize a decryption method as the maximum number of available plaintext is secured. Thus, it reduces the complexity and allows efficient search of solutions for the decryption equation.

  • Patent number: 7423350
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a power generating device which makes it possible to easily generate electric power in a rotating system, such as a wheel including a tire, without impairing the performance and reliability of the rotating system. In the case where the power generating device is mounted to a rotating body such as a tire, the direction of gravity applied to a weight is changed with the rotation of the rotating body to cause beams to be deflected, so that the positions of the deflected beams and the weight are fluctuated in synchronization with the period of the rotation to cause the position of a coil to be displaced. Thereby, the weight is vibrated in the vertical direction in synchronization with the period of the rotation of the rotating body to change the magnetic flux density crossing the coil. As a result, AC electromotive forces are generated in the coil to enable electric power to be generated.
