Key distributing device

Abstract

PURPOSE:To increase the efficiency of a key distribution by using a secret integral number specific to a user so as to convert a random number and forming a key distribution data, thereby generating a ciphering communication key under a prescribed condition. CONSTITUTION:A secret integral number and a public integral number in common to membership are stored in the card 203 of a user A and the numbers are read in a terminal 201 via a card reader 202. A terminal equipment 201 generates a random number at the key distribution processing, the number is converted by using the secret integral number and the public integral number and sends the converted random number to a communication opposite party B as a key delivery data, receives the key delivery data generated by the similar procedure from the opposite party B and discriminates whether or not the data is a data satisfying a prescribed condition according to the predetermined algorithm. When the condition is satisfied, the key distribution data is converted depending on the random number generated by the predetermined conversion and the result of conversion is used as the ciphering communication key.

  1. 1
    [Claim(s)] 【特許請求の範囲】 In a key delivery system which delivers a key which should be shared with a communication partner on the occasion of encryption communication, A key delivery system comprising:A data creation means for key delivery which generates a random number, and changes the random number by conversion beforehand defined depending on a secret code which was able to be defined beforehand, and a digital pattern which may not necessarily be common to the party concerned with communication, and secret, and it sends to said communication partner by using the changed random number as data for key delivery, Data for key delivery created in said communication partner under the same rule as said data creation means for key delivery is received, and the data for key delivery judges according to an algorithm which was able to define beforehand whether it was data which fulfills predetermined conditions, A key preparing means for encryption communication which will change the data for key delivery depending on a random number generated [ said ] in conversion which was able to be defined beforehand if it fills, and uses the conversion result as a key for encryption communication. 暗号通信に際し通信相手と共有すべきキーを配送するキー配送装置において、乱数を発生し、該乱数を、あらかじめ定められた秘密コードと通信当事者に共通で必ずしも秘密でなくてもよいディジタルパターンとに依存してあらかじめ定められた変換で変換し、該変換された乱数をキー配送用データとして前記通信相手に送るキー配送用データ作成手段と、前記通信相手において前記キー配送用データ作成手段と同じ規則で作成されたキー配送用データを受けとり、該キー配送用データが所定の条件をみたすデータか否かをあらかじめ定められたアルゴリズムに従って判定して、みたせば該キー配送用データを前もって定められた変換にて前記発生された乱数に依存して変換し、その変換結果を暗号通信用キーとする暗号通信用キー作成手段とからなることを特徴とするキー配送装置。
