| 20090327706 | ACCOUNT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, ROOT-ACCOUNT MANAGEMENT APPARATUS, DERIVED-ACCOUNT MANAGEMENT APPARATUS, AND PROGRAM - A root-account management apparatus generates an electronic signature based on a survival condition and a secret key when an authentication result of a user of a client apparatus is proper, and transmits derived-account credence element information including the survival condition, the electronic signature and a public key certificate to a derived-account management apparatus. The derived-account management apparatus creates derived-account information which becomes valid when the survival condition is satisfied so that the derived-account information includes both the derived-account credence element information which becomes invalid when a validity term of the public key certificate expires and a biometric information template of the user which is valid regardless of this validity term. Accordingly, even if an authentication element as a root (public key certificate) becomes invalid, a derived authentication element (biometric information template) can be prevented from becoming invalid. | 12-31-2009 |
| 20100043070 | FILE-ACCESS CONTROL APPARATUS AND PROGRAM - In a file-access control system according to an embodiment of this invention, control data in accordance with actions made is imparted, as an obligation-type policy, to a document file. Next, a policy evaluation control unit evaluates and executes the obligation-type policy imparted to the document file in accordance with the action to the document file. The execution of the obligation-type policy includes the controlling of a document application on the basis of an obligation fulfillment action. Therefore, an active control can be performed in accordance with any manipulation made to the document, and the access to the document can be changed. | 02-18-2010 |
| 20100138662 | DIGITAL SIGNATURE ASSURANCE SYSTEM, METHOD, PROGRAM AND APPARATUS - According to respective embodiments of the present invention, it is possible to verify a security environment of an digital signature and assure validity of the digital signature. For example, in the case of generating the digital signature, the assertion for asserting a key management system and a user authentication system is generated, the conversion processing is applied to both of the digital signature and the assertion, and the acquired digital signature, assertion, and conversion value are outputted. Therefore, it is possible to verify validity of the assertion on the basis of the conversion value and verify the security environment of the digital signature on the basis of the key management system and the user authentication system included in the assertion. Accordingly, the validity of the digital signature can be assured. | 06-03-2010 |
| 20100180124 | VERIFICATION APPARATUS AND PROGRAM - According to one embodiment of the present invention, the first authentication context includes the template certificate indicative of the validity of a template and the first apparatus evaluation certificate indicative of the validity of the first apparatus evaluating information whilst the second authentication context includes the second apparatus evaluating certificate indicative of the validity of the second apparatus evaluating information. And the template certificate and the first and second evaluation certificates are verified when verifying the first and second authentication contexts. Thus, the validity of the template used for authentication or the apparatus evaluating information included in the authentication context can be verified. | 07-15-2010 |
| 20100191967 | CLIENT APPARATUS, SERVER APPARATUS, AND PROGRAM - A client apparatus receives a message including a random number from a server apparatus during the handshake of agreement process, creates a biometric negotiation message including the biometric authentication method information and sends the biometric negotiation message to the server apparatus. Then, the client apparatus executes a biometric authentication based on biometric authentication method information notified from the server apparatus and encrypts the random number based on the private key. In addition, the client apparatus generates an authenticator from a result of the biometric authentication, the biometric authentication method information, the encrypted random number, and the client certificate, and sends to the server apparatus an authentication context including these. The server apparatus verifies the authentication context and establishes a secure session in one handshake. | 07-29-2010 |
| 20100281517 | System, Apparatus, Program, and Method for Authentication - According to an aspect of the invention, a management of each authentication subprocess assures the each authentication subprocess, and assurance contents can be verified by verification side, so that trustworthiness of the whole authentication process can be improved. An authentication system includes authentication entity devices which separately execute authentication subprocesses P | 11-04-2010 |
