  • Publication number: 20240126915
    Abstract: A search execution device receives a trapdoor generated based on a user secret key in which a search auxiliary key and an attribute of a user are set and a search keyword, together with a key identifier (ID) that identifies the search auxiliary key. The search execution device decrypts an encrypted tag in which an attribute of a user who is allowed retrieval and a search word are set, using the received trapdoor and the search auxiliary key indicated by the received key ID, so as to identify a tag that is retrievable for the attribute set in the user secret key and contains a search word corresponding to the search keyword.

  • Patent number: 11956262
    Abstract: An anomaly detection device (IDS ECU) includes a detection rule generator that monitors a communication establishment frame flowing over Ethernet in a communication establishment phase of service-oriented communication and that generates, for each communication ID, a detection rule including the communication ID written in the communication establishment frame and a server (or client) address written in the communication establishment frame; an anomaly detector that monitors a communication frame flowing over the Ethernet in a communication phase of the service-oriented communication and that, by referring to a detection rule that includes a communication ID written in the communication frame, detects the communication frame as an anomalous frame when a server (or client) address written in the communication frame differs from a server (or client) address included in the detection rule; and an anomaly notifier that provides a notification of an anomaly in response to the anomalous frame being detected.

  • Publication number: 20050235133
    Abstract: Slips each having a unique number are inputted and retained in an input queue. Slips of the number corresponding to the multiplicity level of the business-related processing are taken out in the order of older input from the slips retained in the input queue to assign management numbers to the slips, after which a consolidated-format slip is produced by consolidating the slips taken out. During the multiple processing, the consolidated-format slip is divided into single slips, business-related processes of the number corresponding to the multiplicity level are executed in parallel and the slips processed are consolidated and delivered to the next multiple process. When all of the multiple processes have been completed, the consolidated-format slip obtained as the result of processing is divided into slips (single slips) and outputted in the order of their input.
