摘要:
In an authentication system, a key registration apparatus receives input of an identifier unique to a second device, generates first key data from the identifier according to a predetermined key generation algorithm, and transmits the generated first key data to a first device, which receives and stores the first key data, and authenticates the second device with use of the first key data. The second device stores in advance second key data generated from the identifier according to the predetermined key generation algorithm, and is authenticated by the first device with use of the second key data. Accordingly, the first and second devices cannot be registered without using the key registration apparatus, thereby preventing communication with unregistered devices. This enables usage of content to be limited to individual usage in the home of a user, and can be realized even with devices that are not connected outside the home.

In a content-log analyzing system, content includes additional information indicating, according to a property of the content, whether or not to record communication of the content in a content-log. When transmitting content to a TV or a PC, a data-communication controlling device judges whether or not to record the communication in a content-log based upon additional information of the content, and when judging affirmatively, generates and stores content-log information. A content-log analyzing server obtains the content-log stored in the data-communication controlling device, and analyzes the obtained content-log.

An encryption device encrypts a message, and includes a function value output unit that calculates a function value of the message using a one-way converting function. The encryption device also includes a numerical array output unit having an initial array decision unit that generates an initial decision array V1 having n1 elements of 1, n2 elements of −1, and (n−n1−n2) elements of 0. Further, the numerical array output unit includes an array element replacement unit that changes the array element of the initial array V1 generated by the initial array decision unit according to an input integer X, and outputs the array V. The encryption device also includes a text generation unit that generates encrypted text, based on the message, according to a polynomial which corresponds to the array V.

A battery history information management device for managing history information of a secondary battery includes: a connection determination unit which determines whether a charge/discharge device connected to the secondary battery is (i) a first charge/discharge device connected via a communication network to a server which manages the history information or (ii) a second charge/discharge device not connected to the server; a battery history recording unit which records, when it is determined that the charge/discharge device is the second charge/discharge device, charge/discharge history for second charge/discharge device into battery history data; and a history upload control unit which transmits, when it is determined that the charge/discharge device is the first charge/discharge device, the battery history data to the server via the first charge/discharge device.

The present invention provides a password recovery system that re-supplies a password to only the legitimate user of the password. The password recovery system includes a memory card with CPU and a mobile phone. When a password needs to be recovered, a phone call is made, to the mobile phone, from a telephone connected to a phone line whose phone number is registered in advance into the memory card with CPU. The mobile phone then obtains the telephone number of the phone line via a caller's telephone number notifying service. It is judged whether the obtained telephone number and the registered phone number are the same, and when they are the same, the password stored in the memory card with CPU will be re-supplied so that the user can recover it.

A content protection system prevents illegal key acquisition, without checking uniqueness of device keys. The content protection system includes a key data generation apparatus and a user terminal. The key data generation apparatus converts first key data, which is for using content, based on a predetermined conversion rule, thereby generating second key data, encrypts the second key data using a device key held by valid terminals, and outputs the encrypted key data. The user terminal obtains the encrypted key data, decrypts the encrypted key data using a device key held by the user terminal, thereby generating second key data, converts the second key data based on a re-conversion rule corresponding to the conversion rule, thereby generating the first key data, and uses the content with use of the generated first key data.

A server scrambles received pay information in an internal scrambler and then transmits the result to a terminal which sent a request. A second charge managing portion determines a charge for the pay information for billing a contractor who manages the server, based on a coefficient of charge outputted from a terminal managing portion. The coefficient of charge is determined based on attributes of the terminal that uses the pay information, the number of the terminals which use the pay information, attributes of users who use the terminals, etc. The charge of use can thereby be obtained according to a degree of actual use at a users' side.

A cryptographic processing apparatus for performing cryptographic processing using input data to generate output data is provided. The cryptographic processing apparatus includes a storage unit for storing chain data which is used for reflecting present cryptographic processing on next cryptographic processing, and for renewing the chain data each time cryptographic processing is performed, a merging unit for merging the chain data stored in the storage unit with the input data to generate merged data, and a main cryptographic processing unit for performing main cryptographic processing using the merged data to generate output data and for outputting intermediate data generated during a generation of the output data, wherein the storage unit renews the chain data by storing the intermediate data outputted by the main cryptographic processing unit as the new chain data, which is used for the next cryptographic processing.

A data protection system is provided that reduces, to a degree, the amount of encrypted data that is distributed to a plurality of terminals. In the data protection system a terminal whose decryption keys are exposed by a dishonest party is made to be unable to decrypt the data correctly, while other terminals are able to decrypt the data correctly.The data protection system includes a plurality of terminals, and an encryption device that encrypts distribution data distributed to each terminal. Each terminal is corresponded with one node on a lowest level of a 4-ary tree structure or the like having a plurality of hierarchies. The data protection system, for each node in the tree structure, excluding those on the lowest level, determines a plurality of combination patterns that include combinations of two or more of all four nodes that are reached one level below the node, decides an individual decryption key for each determined combination pattern, and decides an individual decryption key for each node on the lowest level. Further, the data protection system has each terminal store all decryption keys decided for the nodes on the path from the node on the lowest level that corresponds to the terminal through to the node on the highest level. The data protection system prescribes nodes that are reached from the node on the lowest level that corresponds to the terminal through to the node on the highest level that correspond to a terminal that has been dishonestly analyzed as invalid nodes. For invalid nodes, other than invalid nodes on the lowest level, the data protection system designates an encryption key that corresponds to the decryption key decided in correspondence with the combination pattern that combines all nodes, excluding invalid nodes, of the four nodes that are reached one level below the node, and has the encryption device encrypt distribution data that uses each of the designated encryption keys.
