To provide an improved management structure of memory devices storing service-use applications. A card for a memory device applied to use various services is provided as one child card or more corresponding to each of the services, a parent card stores data for child-card issue management, and the child-card issue processing is executed based on the parent card, such as parent card authentication. An issue certificate having a parent-card digital signature is stored in the child card, the issue certificate contains a service code and a child-card identification, and thus it becomes possible to confirm a service set in the child card based on the issue certificate as the parent-card signature data.

A public key certificate issuing system is disclosed which comprises a certificate authority for issuing a public key certificate for an entity, the certificate authority including a plurality of signature modules each executing a different encryption algorithm and a registration authority that receives a public key certificate issuance request from the entity.

A person authentication system capable of performing personal authentication by comparing templates that is personal identification data with sampling information input by a user is disclosed. For example, a service provider (SP) or a user device (UD) acquires the templates from a person identification certificate (IDC) generated by a personal identification certificate authority that is a third party to thereby perform personal authentication. The IDC stores data, such as a certificate identifier and a user identifier, in accordance with a format, and also stores encrypted templates in a manner that the data can be decrypted by an entity that performs authentication. This arrangement achieves efficient template retrieval and a personal authentication process, as well as effective prevention of the templates from being leaking out.

Disclosed are a person authentication system, a person authentication method, and an information processing apparatus which allow person authentication to be performed in an easy fashion in various devices by comparing a template serving as person identification data with sampling information input by a user. A service provider (SP) or user device (UD) executes person authentication by acquiring a template from a person identification certificate (IDC) generated by a third-party agency serving as a person identification certificate authority (IDA). The IDA acquires a template serving as identification data after verifying a person requesting an IDC to be issued, and generates the IDC storing template information. The IDA distributes the IDC having a digital signature of the IDA added thereto to the SP and the UD.

The present invention provides a novel configuration which allows devices capable of processing different signature algorithms to mutually verify public key certificates. In this configuration, public key certificates storing plural signatures based on different signature algorithms such as RSA and ECC are issued and each device selects a signature which can be processed (namely, verified) by itself and verifies the selected signature. Consequently, the novel configuration allows the devices each being capable of verifying only a different signature algorithm to verify the public key certificates of the other devices, so that each device can perform public key certificate verification in the cross-certification and encrypted data communication not only with the other devices having public key certificates attached with signatures based on the same signature algorithm as that of each device, but also with the other devices or providers having public key certificates attached with signatures based on different signature algorithms from that of each device, thereby significantly enhancing the reliability in communication.
摘要:
A person identification certificate link system forms a link between a person identification certificate which stores a template serving as person identification data and which is generated by a person identification certificate authority and a public key certificate which stores a public key, thereby specifying one certificate based on the other certificate. With this arrangement, a cryptographic key to the template stored in the person identification certificate can be specified. It is also possible to quickly obtain a combination of the person identification certificate and the public key certificate which are both utilized in transaction with a service provider, thereby improving the processing efficiency.
摘要:
A content distribution is performed by a secure container including a content encrypted by a content key and container information set for a content transaction. The container information includes a person identification certificate identifiers list. Usage control status information including the list is generated and stored in a device during a secondary distribution among user devices after a primary distribution of the content. In the distribution among the user devices, identifying an identification certificate in reference to the list and performing a person authentication based on the identification certificate allows each of the user devices to use the transmitted content, when the authentication is affirmative.

Disclosed are an information processing apparatus and an information processing method which execute person authentication and allows various services such as receiving of contents to be received, provided that the authentication is successfully passed. In the information processing apparatus for executing, by a connection to an external server providing various services such as contents transmission, a process such as receiving of contents, person authentication is executed by comparing a template acquired from a person identification certificate storing a template which is person identification data of a user using the information processing apparatus with sampling information input by the user, and a connection to the external server is executed provided that the authentication is successfully passed. In addition, the person identification certificate and the public key certificate are stored in a memory together with link information in which the person identification certificate and the public key certificate applied during a process of establishing a connection to the server are related to each other.
摘要:
In a public key certificate using system, a template which serves as person identification data of a person requesting a public key certificate is obtained from a person identification certificate of the person, a person authentication is executed by comparing sampling information of the person against the template, and a public key certificate for the person is issued by a certificate authority on condition that the person authentication is established, thus reducing the load on the certificate authority for person authentication. The public key certificate issued to the user is deleted upon completion of a processing session involving use of the public key certificate, restricting the use of the public key certificate to the particular processing session.
