A cryptographic communications method based on ID-NIKS, wherewith mathematical structures are minimized, the collusion problem can be circumvented, and building the cryptosystem is simplified. A plurality of centers are provided for distributing a plurality of secret keys to a plurality of entities, respectively. Each secret key is unique to each entity. Information specifying the entities (entity ID information) is divided into a plurality of pieces or segments. All secret keys produced for the pieces of entity ID information are distributed to the entities. Using a component contained in the secret key peculiar to itself, each entity generates a common key to be shared by another entity. This component corresponds to a piece of ID information of another entity.
A cryptographic communications method for communications of information between entities wherein a plurality of centers are provided, each of which generates secret keys peculiar to the entities using divided pieces of information resulting from division of information specifying each of the entities, the divided information used to generate the secret keys allowing diminished sizes of the secret keys;
A cryptographic communications method for communicating information between entities wherein:
A cryptographic communications system for reciprocally performing, between a plurality of entities, encrypting processing for encrypting plaintext that is information to be sent into ciphertext and decrypting processing for decrypting ciphertext so sent back into original plaintext;
A cryptographic communications method for communications of information between entities wherein a plurality of centers are provided, each of which generates secret keys peculiar to the entities using divided specifying information resulting from division of information specifying each of the entities into a plurality of blocks, the divided information used to generate the secret keys allowing diminished sizes of the secret keys;
A secret key generation method for generating secret keys peculiar to entities using divided specifying information resulting from division of information specifying said entities into a plurality of blocks, the divided information used to generate the secret keys allowing diminished sizes of the secret keys, each entity generating a common key by using a component corresponding to the divided specifying information of another entity, wherein:
An encryption method wherein:
A cryptographic communications method for communications of information between entities, wherein
A common key generator provided at entities in a cryptographic communications system for generating a common key to be used in processing to encrypt plaintext to ciphertext and in processing to decrypt ciphertext back to plaintext, comprising:
A cryptographic communications system for reciprocally performing, between a plurality of entities, encryption processing for encrypting plaintext that is information to be sent into ciphertext and decryption processing for decrypting ciphertext so sent back into original plaintext, comprising:
A computer readable recording medium embodied in a tangible physical object for storing a program that generates at entities involved in communications a common key mutually used in processing to encrypt plaintext to ciphertext and in processing to decrypt said ciphertext back to said plaintext in a cryptographic communications system, comprising:
A computer readable program embodied in a tangible physical object for generating at entities involved in communications a common key mutually used in processing to encrypt plaintext to ciphertext and in processing to decrypt said ciphertext back to said plaintext in a cryptographic communications system, comprising:
