Abstract: Disclosed is a flash memory device having a secure flash file deletion function and a method for securely deleting a flash file. Data and object headers as actual contents of the flash file are separately stored in data blocks and header blocks. At this time, the data is encrypted and stored, and a decryption key is included in an object header and stored in a header block. When the flash file is deleted, the object header is deleted by searching the header block where the object header including the decryption key is stored. In order to search the header block, a binary tree structure is used in which a terminal node indicates an LSB of a file ID. Disclosed may be applied to an embedded system where a flash memory is used as a storage medium. In particular, disclosed is suitable for a NAND flash memory device.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus and method of managing terminal users that is capable of securely managing personal information and data of a user in a mobile terminal. An embodiment of the present invention provides an apparatus and method of managing terminal users that monitors whether a terminal of a user is abnormally used, including whether the terminal is not used over a predetermined period of time, to collect and check data, and, when it is determined that the terminal is abnormally used as a checked result, forces the user to log out. Therefore, a login situation of the user can be accurately recognized, and the internal operation of the terminal can be secured from external users to securely manage user data and improve security.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a terminal apparatus including a trusted platform module (TPM) and a DRM method using the same. The terminal apparatus receives information on a validity period from a server, uses the TPM generates a public key including the information on the validity period, transmits the public key to the server, receives encoded digital contents from the server, and uses the TPM to decode the received digital contents.
