摘要:
A storage device allows expanding user utilizable applications by storing information permitted to be read according to a certificate and information permitted to be read according to information determined by a user. An information distributor receives a certificate from the storage device and after verifying the certificate, transmits data of a license and access control conditions to the storage device. After receiving data of a certificate from an information browser, verifying the certificate and imposing a limit on access based upon one of access control conditions, the storage device transmits data of the license and the other to the information browser. The information browser permits utilization of the license under the limitation defined by the access control condition. The certificate includes either or both of a certificate approved by a certificate authority and a PIN (personal identifying number) determined by the user.

A memory card has: a flash memory chip for storing digital certificates and a seed of random numbers; a controller chip which can execute a managing process for managing the digital certificates and a random number generating process for generating the pseudo random numbers by using the seed of random numbers; and an IC card chip which can execute an authenticating process for authenticating personal identification information (PIN) inputted from a host apparatus and an encrypting process for encrypting the seed of random numbers. Thus, a processing time of security processes is reduced while assuring safety of the security processes.

In a SIM card having a flash memory chip, a memory controller chip, and contact/contactless card interfaces, the memory controller chip has a function of executing user authentication of a host equipment, executes processing of data transmitted through the contactless IC card interface (executing reading or writing of data to the flash memory chip) using power supplied from the host equipment to the contact IC card interface, and executes initialization of the flash memory chip between activation of the host equipment and completion of user authentication instructed by the host equipment.

A storage medium includes a storage device for storing information, information required for encryption and encrypted information, and an I/F device for inputting and outputting information, information required for coding and store encrypted information in a storage device or from an external apparatus other than the storage device, and an encoding device for coding of information and decoding of encoded information. When outputting information stored inside the storage device, information is encoded using encryption key information, and along with obtaining the encoded information and obtaining the encoded encryption key information by using another encryption key. Both the encoded information and encoded encryption key information are output so that decoding the information without the storage medium is impossible.

In the present invention, disclosed is a semiconductor memory device capable of reducing the number of erasing times of each block allocated to a cluster or the number of blocks to be erased in one writing to the minimum. As an embodiment of the present invention, when a host system 1 performs accessing, for each cluster as a unit, to the FAT partition prepared on a flash memory 17 of the semiconductor memory device 100, a CPU 6 adds an address offset value held by address offset storage section 10 to a logical address specified by the host system 1, whereby a logical address of a head sector of the cluster correspond to a physical address of a head sector of a unit block for erasing/writing data in the flash memory 17.

Disclosed is a secure remote access system for improving convenience of a user by utilizing a storage device including an anti-tampering device as a user authentication device in the secure remote access system for making access and execution of job while a user is making the encrypted communication to a server from an unspecified client. Usability can be improved and thereby the job executing function can be used smoothly at the internal and external sides of the working office by providing a server client system where the server can be manipulated remotely by distributing a storage device loading the authorized anti-tampering device to users, connecting the storage device to unspecified clients by users, and using the authentication information and application stored in the storage device. A remote access system having improved security and convenient during usage of client from the user can also be provided by reducing the secret information remaining in the manipulated client.

摘要:
The external storage device according to the present invention which uses a non-volatile semiconductor memory such as a flash memory is provided with plural areas which store user data, and restricts access to the user data from a host computer and also dynamically changes an area an access to which is to be restricted. Accordingly, the ease of use of the external storage device for the host computer is improved. Specifically, the interior of the flash memory is divided into a normal area not protected by a password or the like and a protected area protected by a password or the like. A microprocessor controls accesses to the normal area and the protected area in accordance with a command from the host computer. In addition, the host computer can access the protected area after passing through authentication using a password. Moreover, the host computer changes information indicative of the location of the protected area, thereby dynamically changing the protection area.
