Abstract:
An elliptic curve cryptography method which generates a public key for use in a communication encryption using an elliptic curve, including: changing a number of a secret key (d) of (k) bits to an odd number; encoding the secret key to yield an encoded secret key (d) in which a most significant bit (MSB) is (1) and a rest positional number is (1) or (−1); and computing the public key (Q=Dp) by multiplying the encoded secret key (d) by a predetermined point (P) on the elliptic curve by a scalar multiplication.
Abstract:
A security system using an RSA algorithm that includes a key input section for receiving a secret key and a public key used in one of encryption and decryption of a message, a random coefficient generating section for generating a random coefficient r having a bit of a predetermined size, a first calculation section for dividing the secret key into a first secret key and a second secret key by using the value of r, and performing an exponentiation of RSA algorithm by using the respective secret keys and the public key, and a second calculation section for performing one of the encryption and the decryption by combining results of exponentiation calculated respectively by using the first and the second secret keys.
Abstract:
A method and system for updating time information of a digital rights management (DRM) includes a time server transmitting a time information message to a consumer electronics (CE) device, the CE device transmitting the time information message to a digital rights management DRM device when the CE device receives the time information message from the time server, and the DRM device updating a present time of the DRM device based on the time information message when the DRM device successfully performs authentication with respect to the time information message which has been transmitted from the CE device.
Abstract:
A device authentication method using broadcast encryption is provided, in which, a hash value corresponding to a group key version is generated, the generated hash value is encrypted with a group key, group key information comprising the encrypted hash value is generated, and the generated group key information including a signature of an authentication server for the group key information is transmitted. Accordingly, mutual authentication is accomplished by using the group key version including in the group key information.
Abstract:
A security device for a home network and a security configuration method thereof. The security device for the home network includes a user interface to send at least one request signal that includes a device register request signal to register a home appliance to the home network; a public key generator to generate a public key and a password used for security configuration of the home network; a home appliance interface to interface with the home appliance; and a controller to control the home appliance interface to transmit the public key and the password to the home appliance, and the controller to control to register the home appliance to the home network according to a service discovery protocol when the device register request signal is received from the user interface. Accordingly, the security configuration of the home network can be facilitated.
Abstract:
A method and an apparatus are provided for generating an encryption key for broadcast encryption. The method of generating the encryption key for the broadcast encryption includes generating a first encryption key with respect to all nodes, configured in a plurality of depths, from a root node to a plurality of leaf nodes, and generating a second encryption key with respect to each intermediate node between the root node and the plurality of leaf nodes, wherein the generation of the second encryption key comprises generating any one of first and second keys using the first encryption key depending on whether a first child node, connected to a sibling node of the intermediate node, is on a left path or a right path of the intermediate node.
Abstract:
A network capable of communicating with foreign networks and having a plurality of devices capable of mutually communicating with one another and a domain setup method thereof. The network includes at least one main remote controller for, out of the devices, setting up authorization to use the respective devices belonging to at least one main domain having at least one of the devices; and at least one subsidiary remote controller for receiving authentication for authorization to use the respective device belonging to a domain having the respective devices authorized to at least one user by the respective main remote controllers. Thus, the present network enables each user to efficiently administer whether to use the home devices as well as enables the home devices authorized to each user to be set up in one domain in order to keep security and privacy from foreign domains.

Abstract:
An apparatus for providing a rights resale function and a method thereof are provided, in which a rights object to execute content can be freely transferred and shared among users on the intervention of a rights issuer. The apparatus for providing a rights resale function applied to a system which includes a rights acquisition agent and a rights issuer, includes a storage unit for storing a content related rights object, a token generation unit for generating a token for rights resale such as a token for reselling rights to obtain an issuance of the content related rights object from the rights issuer, with reference to the rights object from the storage unit, and a transmission/reception unit for transmitting the token for rights resale from the token generation unit to the rights acquisition agent.
