    Abstract: A first controller generates a first group key, executes first mutual authentication with devices within a group, and shares a first group key with devices that have succeeded in authentication. At least one controller within the group decides a coordinator that manages a group key used in common in the group, from controllers including a second controller newly joined in the group. The first controller executes second mutual authentication with the coordinator, and shares the first group key with the coordinator. The coordinator performs encrypted communication within the group using the first group key. The coordinator generates a second group key when valid time of the first group key is equal to or smaller than a predetermined value, executes third mutual authentication with the devices and controllers within the group, and updates the group key of the devices and controllers that have succeeded in authentication to the second group key.

    Abstract: A history information anonymization method is provided that includes associating each of a plurality of pieces of history information collected from a plurality of TVs in a current cycle with a temporary ID associated with a TV at a collection destination. The method also includes getting together a plurality of IDs into a plurality of groups such that for the IDs in each group, contents of history information associated in the current cycle and in a past cycle are identical. The method further includes judging whether each of the plurality of groups satisfies anonymity, and changing only some of the plurality of temporary IDs associated with the plurality of TVs, when it is judged that any of the plurality of groups does not satisfy anonymity.

    Abstract: A first controller generates a first group key, executes first mutual authentication with devices within a group, and shares the first group key with the devices that have succeeded in first mutual authentication. When a second controller joins the group, the first controller decides a coordinator that manages a group key used in common in the group. The first controller executes second mutual authentication with the coordinator, and shares the first group key with the coordinator when the second mutual authentication is successful. The coordinator performs encrypted communication within the group using the first group key, generates a second group key when valid time of the first group key is equal to or smaller than a predetermined value, executes third mutual authentication with the devices and a third controller, and updates the first group key of the devices and the third controller that have succeeded in the third authentication.

    Abstract: An authentication method for a group of devices connected to a network includes selecting the first controller as a coordinator, the coordinator being configured to manage a group key to be used in common in the group. The method includes generating the group key, and performing first mutual authentication and second mutual authentication. The method also includes sharing the group key with each device for which the first mutual authentication has been successful, and sharing the group key with each second controller for which the second mutual authentication has been successful. The method further includes encrypting transmission data by using the group key to generate encrypted data, generating, authentication data by using the group key, and simultaneously broadcasting a message to each device for which the first mutual authentication has been successful and each second controller for which the second mutual authentication has been successful.
