Description

  The present invention relates to, for example, an encryption key distribution method and an encryption key sharing method used when encrypted communication is performed between a plurality of terminals.

In order to encrypt the contents of audio, video, or arbitrary data communicated between a plurality of terminals, it is necessary to share an encryption key between the terminals. Conventional key sharing methods include a method of sharing a key by pre-setting of each terminal or communication between terminals (a method of sharing a key only by a terminal), and a third function that plays a role as a key issuing server in addition to each terminal. There is a method of sharing a key by installing a person (a method of sharing a key by installing a third party).
There are the following (1) to (3) as a method of sharing the key only by the terminal. (1) A pre-shared secret method using secret information shared in advance as a key. (2) A public-key encryption method in which one terminal randomly generates a key, encrypts it using the public key of another terminal, and distributes the key. (3) A Diffie-Hellman Key Exchange method for sharing a key between terminals using a Diffie-Hellman key sharing algorithm (Non-Patent Document 1).
In addition, as a method of sharing a key by installing a third party, an access point, which is a communication device provided with an encryption key generation means capable of bidirectional communication with each terminal, plays a role as a key issuing server. A method of sharing an encryption key between terminals by generating and distributing a necessary key in response to a key generation request has been proposed (Patent Document 1).

Conventional key distribution and key sharing methods have the following problems.
First, the methods for sharing keys only with terminals have the following problems.
In the case of the pre-shared secret method of (1) above, each terminal must share a key in advance with all communication partners. For example, in a system with 1000 terminals, each terminal is 999. Must hold a key. When updating the keys, the 999 keys must be exchanged at each terminal. Therefore, each terminal has a problem that keys whose number increases according to the scale of the system must be individually managed.
In the case of a key distribution and key sharing method using a public key encryption algorithm, such as the public-key encryption method of (2) and the Diffie-Hellman Key Exchange method of (3), a key generation function is provided at each terminal. And computation processing of a public key encryption algorithm must be performed. In addition, in order to prove the validity of the public key of each terminal, the public key certificate is issued from the Certificate Authority (CA) and the verification process of the public key certificate must be performed at each terminal. I must. Accordingly, there is a problem that each terminal must have a performance for performing a complicated calculation process such as public key calculation or certificate verification. In addition, when encrypted communication is started between terminals, processing time for public key calculation and certificate verification is required, and there is a problem that it takes time to start communication.
On the other hand, the method of setting a third party and sharing a key has the following problems.
In the key distribution and key sharing method by bidirectional communication with the key issuing server, each terminal must always perform bidirectional communication with the key issuing server. Therefore, there is a problem that each terminal can only be used within a range where bidirectional communication with the key issuing server is possible. Further, in order to expand the terminal usable range, it is necessary to provide a long-distance bidirectional communication function between each terminal and the key issuing server. For example, when satellite communication is used between a terminal and a key issuing server, each terminal needs an antenna and a powerful battery for performing a bidirectional communication function with the communication satellite. Therefore, there exists a subject that the volume and weight of a terminal increase and portability is impaired.
The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problem, for example, and aims to share an encryption key for communication between terminals without constantly maintaining and managing many keys in each terminal. To do. Another object of the present invention is to shorten the time required for starting encrypted communication between terminals, for example. Furthermore, an object of the present invention is to improve portability without increasing the volume and weight of the terminal, for example, while expanding the usable range of the terminal.

The key management server according to the present invention is, for example, a key management server that can communicate with a plurality of terminals.
An encryption key data creation unit that creates a master key used for encrypted communication between the terminals of the plurality of terminals by a processing device;
An encryption unit that encrypts the master key by a processing device with a device key assigned to a terminal that uses the master key created by the encryption key data creation unit;
And a data transmission unit that unilaterally transmits the encrypted master key encrypted by the encryption unit to the plurality of terminals as encryption key data destined for the terminal.

  According to the key management server of the present invention, since the key management server unilaterally transmits the encryption key data to each terminal, the encryption key (master key) can be shared even when bidirectional communication cannot be performed. It is. Therefore, each terminal distributes and shares the encryption key for inter-terminal communication without providing complex calculation processing performance such as a key generation function, a public key encryption algorithm calculation function, and a public key certificate verification processing function. Is possible. In addition, since key distribution / sharing can be performed without providing complicated arithmetic processing, it is possible to shorten the time for starting encrypted communication between terminals. Furthermore, since it is not necessary to install a certificate issuing authority that issues public key certificates, it is not necessary to prepare for system construction or to operate. Furthermore, since it is not necessary to mount a communication function from each terminal to the key issuing server, it is possible to improve portability without increasing the volume and weight of the terminal.

  Next, an operation for sharing an encryption key used by a plurality of portable terminals for encrypted communication will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing an operation in which the portable terminal shares the encryption key by the key management server 1 creating and distributing the encryption key.

First, the process of the key management server 1 will be described.
In the encryption key data creation process (S101), the encryption key data creation unit 17 distributes the encryption key used for encrypted communication between the mobile terminals in the system, the encryption key data (ab) 41, the encryption key data ( ba) 42 etc. are created. The encryption key data creation unit 17 creates the encryption key data 57 using the random number generation unit 13, sets the user IDs 58, the key ID 59 and other information 60, and sets the encryption key information (before encryption) 56. create. In addition, the encryption key data is created by setting the data type 51, the receiver ID 52, and the party IDs 53. Here, the encryption key data creation unit 17 creates a unique encryption key for each set of portable terminals that perform encrypted communication.

  In the encryption process (S102), the encryption unit 14 uses the device key of each portable terminal managed by the device key management unit 16 from the encryption key information (before encryption) 56 to the encryption key information (encryption). After) 54 (encryption master key) is created. That is, the encryption unit 14 encrypts the key data 57 with the device key assigned to the mobile terminal that uses the encryption key created by the encryption key data creation unit 17. That is, the encryption unit 14 encrypts the encryption key information (before encryption) 56 with a device key shared with the distribution destination portable terminal among the device keys different for each portable terminal of the plurality of portable terminals. Also, the encryption unit 14 causes the authentication value calculation unit 15 to create an authentication value 55 using the device key of each portable terminal managed by the device key management unit 16 and adds it to the encryption key data.

  In the data transmission process (S103), the data transmission unit 12 transmits the created encryption key data (ab) 41, encryption key data (ba) 42, and the like to the communication satellite 7 via the ground station 6, and from the communication satellite 7. All encryption key data is broadcast to all portable terminals. Since there is a possibility that communication from the communication satellite 7 to each portable terminal may not reach, each encryption key data is periodically and repeatedly transmitted. That is, the data transmission unit 12 of the key management server 1 repeatedly transmits the encryption key data to the mobile terminal unilaterally without receiving a request from the mobile terminal.

Next, processing of the mobile terminal will be described.
The mobile terminal (a) 2a, the mobile terminal (b) 2b, the mobile terminal (c) 2c, and the mobile terminal (d) 2d receive the encryption key data transmitted from the communication satellite 7, and the encryption key data addressed to the terminal itself Is stored in the storage device 984.

  In the data reception process (S104), the data reception unit 21 of each mobile terminal receives data from the communication satellite 7.

  In the encryption key data interpretation process (S105), the encryption key data interpretation unit 26 determines whether the data type 51 is encryption key data. If the data type 51 is encryption key data, the encryption key data interpretation unit 26 performs processing corresponding to the encryption key data. First, the encryption key data interpretation unit 26 refers to the receiver ID 52 to determine whether or not the encryption key data is broadcasted with the own terminal as the destination. If the encryption key data interpretation unit 26 determines that the encryption key data is addressed to the terminal itself (YES in S105), the encryption key data interpretation unit 26 performs control (S106) to perform the following processing. On the other hand, if the encryption key data interpretation unit 26 determines that the encryption key data is not addressed to the terminal itself (NO in S105), the encryption key data interpretation unit 26 ends the process.

  In the decryption process (S106), the decryption unit 23 decrypts the encryption key information (after encryption) 54 using the device key of its own terminal, which is stored and managed in the storage device 984 by the device key management unit 25, and encrypts it. The key information (before encryption) 56 is assumed.

  In the authentication process (S107), the authentication value calculation unit 24 uses the device key of its own terminal that the device key management unit 25 stores and manages in the storage device 984 for the decrypted encryption key information (before encryption) 56. The authentication value is calculated, and it is confirmed by comparison with the authentication value 55 that it has not been tampered with.

  In the encryption key storage process (S108), the encryption key storage unit 27 stores the decrypted encryption key data in the storage device 984 when tampering is not detected.

  In the inter-terminal communication process (S109), the inter-terminal communication unit 22 performs encrypted communication using the encryption key data stored in the encryption key storage unit 27.

  In the example of FIG. 4, the mobile terminal (a) 2 a receives the encryption key data (ab) 41, and thereby receives the encryption communication key with the mobile terminal (b) 2 b and the encryption key data (ac) 43. By receiving, the key for encrypted communication with the portable terminal (c) 2c is shared. Although not clearly shown in FIG. 4, the encryption communication key is shared with the mobile terminal (d) 2d and other mobile terminals by receiving other encryption key data not shown in the figure.

  In the above, for the sake of simplicity, the creation and distribution of an encryption key for encrypted communication between two portable terminals has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the key management server 1 can also create and distribute an encryption key for encrypted communication between three or more portable terminals.

  As described above, since the key management server 1 collectively generates and distributes encryption keys necessary for encrypted communication, each of the portable terminals (a) 2a, portable terminals (b) 2b, portable terminals (c) ) 2c and portable terminal (d) 2d need only manage one device key unique to the terminal when receiving the encryption key data sent from the key management server 1, and increase as the number of terminals increases There is no need to constantly maintain and manage a large number of keys. In addition, since the key generation function, the calculation function of the public key encryption algorithm, and the verification function of the public key certificate are not required in each portable terminal, it is not necessary to provide complicated calculation processing performance in each portable terminal. It is not necessary to install a certificate issuing authority that issues certificates. Accordingly, it is possible to shorten the time until the encrypted communication is started between the mobile terminals. Since the encryption key data is distributed using the communication satellite 7, each portable terminal only needs to have the data receiving unit 21 from the communication satellite while the portable terminal can be used in a wide range on the earth. A communication function to the communication satellite is not required to be installed, and the portability can be improved without increasing the volume and weight of the mobile terminal.

  That is, the key distribution and key sharing method according to the first embodiment includes a key management server 1 including an encryption key generation unit and an encryption key data distribution unit and a terminal including an encryption key setting unit. Generates an encryption key to be used for encrypted communication between each terminal, encrypts it so that only the terminal using the encryption key can decrypt it, and broadcasts to each terminal using one-way communication. The encryption key data used for encrypted communication between terminals is distributed by decrypting the encryption key data encrypted to the destination and storing it in the terminals.

First, an overview of key distribution and key sharing operations by distributing key update data will be described.
The key management server 1 creates unique key update data for each key ID 59 and broadcasts the key update data. Each mobile terminal acquires key update data and updates the corresponding key data 57 to obtain new key data 57.
FIG. 9 is a diagram showing a data flow when the encryption key data is updated in the system configuration shown in FIG.
In FIG. 9, encryption key data (ab) 41 is data obtained by encrypting an encryption key used for encrypted communication between the portable terminal (a) 2a and the portable terminal (b) 2b to the portable terminal (a) 2a. . The encryption key data (ba) 42 is data obtained by encrypting an encryption key used for encrypted communication between the portable terminal (a) 2a and the portable terminal (b) 2b to the portable terminal (b) 2b. Key update data (1) 61 is data for calculating and obtaining an updated encryption key (key ID = 2) from a distributed encryption key (key ID = 1). The key update data (2) 62 is data for calculating and obtaining the updated encryption key (key ID = 3) from the distributed encryption key (key ID = 2).

In the case of the key update data (1) 61, an ID representing ID = 2 is set. The other information 77 is accompanying information indicating the validity period of the updated encryption key.

Next, functions of the key management server 1 and the mobile terminal in the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 11 and 12.
FIG. 11 is a functional block diagram showing functions of the key management server 1 in the second embodiment. The key management server 1 according to the second embodiment includes a key update data creation unit 18 in addition to the key management server 1 according to the first embodiment.
The key update data creation unit 18 creates key update data for updating an encryption key used for encrypted communication between portable terminals based on the random bit string data created by the random number generation unit 13. That is, the key update data creation unit 18 is data for updating the key data 57 created by the encryption key data creation unit 17, and key update data that is data common to a plurality of portable terminals is created by the processing device 980. To do.

FIG. 12 is a functional block diagram illustrating functions of the mobile terminal according to the second embodiment. The mobile terminal in the second embodiment includes a key update calculation unit 29 and a key update data interpretation unit 30 in addition to the mobile terminal in the first embodiment.
The key update operation unit 29 calculates a new encryption key from the encryption key stored in the storage device 984 by the encryption key storage unit 27 and the key update data received by the data reception unit 21 by the processing device 980.
The key update data interpretation unit 30 interprets the key update data from the key management server 1 received by the data reception unit 21.

  Next, an operation in which a plurality of portable terminals share a new encryption key using key update data will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 13 is a flowchart illustrating an operation in which a plurality of portable terminals share a new encryption key using key update data.

  In the following example, the key management server 1 performs encryption communication between the portable terminal (a) 2a and the portable terminal (b) 2b by the procedure shown above, and the encryption key data (ab) 41 and the encryption key data. (Ba) 42 is distributed. The encryption key information (before encryption) 56 of the encryption key data (ab) 41 and the encryption key data (ba) 42 includes the same contents, and the same key data 57, the portable terminal (a) 2a, and the portable terminal (B) When the mobile terminal (a) 2a and the mobile terminal (b) 2b share the user IDs 58 set with the ID indicating 2b, the key ID 59 indicating the key ID = 1, and the same other information 60 Assume.

First, the process of the key management server 1 will be described.
In the key update data creation process (S201), the key update data creation unit 18 updates key codes (1) 61, key update data ( 2) Create 62. Each key update data is data common to all portable terminals, unlike encryption key data. The key update data creation unit 18 creates the update data 74 by using the random number generation unit 13 and sets the pre-update key ID 75, the post-update key ID 76, and other information 77 to create the key update information 72. At this time, the key update data (1) 61 indicates the pre-update key ID 75 indicating the key ID = 1 and the post-update key ID 76 indicating the key ID = 2, and the key update data (2) 62 indicates the key ID = 2. A post-update key ID 76 indicating a pre-update key ID 75 and a key ID = 3 is set. Then, the authentication value set 73 may be created by the authentication value calculation unit 15 from the key update information 72 using the device key of each portable terminal managed by the device key management unit 16. Furthermore, key update data is created by setting the data type 71.
In the data transmission process (S202), the data transmission unit 12 transmits the created key update data (1) 61 and key update data (2) 62 to the communication satellite 7 via the ground station 6, and all the data from the communication satellite 7 is transmitted. The key update data is broadcast to all mobile terminals. Since there is a possibility that communication from the communication satellite 7 to each mobile terminal may not reach, each key update data is periodically and repeatedly transmitted.

Next, processing of the mobile terminal will be described.
The mobile terminal (a) 2a, the mobile terminal (b) 2b, the mobile terminal (c) 2c, and the mobile terminal (d) 2d receive the key update data transmitted from the communication satellite 7 and store the encryption stored in the storage device 984. The updated encryption key data is calculated from the key data, and the updated encryption key data is stored in the storage device 984.

  In the data reception process (S203), the data receiving unit 21 of each mobile terminal receives data from the communication satellite 7.

  In the key update data interpretation process (S204), the key update data interpretation unit 30 determines whether or not the data type 71 is key update data. If the data type 71 is key update data, the key update data interpretation unit 30 controls to perform the following processing corresponding to the key update data.

  In the authentication process (S205), if the authentication value set 73 is included in the key update data, the authentication value calculation unit 24 uses the device key of the own terminal managed by the device key management unit 25 to update the key update information. The authentication value is calculated for 72, and it is confirmed that it has not been tampered with by comparing with the authentication value for the own terminal included in the authentication value set 73.

  In the key update calculation process (S206), the key update calculation unit 29 refers to the pre-update key ID 75 to acquire encryption key data having the same key ID from the storage device 984, and the encryption key of the acquired encryption key data And updated new encryption key data are calculated from the received key update data.

  In the encryption key storage process (S207), the encryption key storage unit 27 stores the new encryption key data calculated by the key update calculation unit 29 in the storage device 984 as the encryption key data of the key ID specified by the updated key ID 76. Store.

  In the inter-terminal communication process (S208), the inter-terminal communication unit 22 performs encrypted communication using the new encryption key data stored in the encryption key storage unit 27.

  In the example of FIG. 9, the portable terminal (a) 2a and the portable terminal (b) 2b receive the key update data (1) 61 and share the encryption key data with the key ID = 2. Also, by receiving the key update data (2) 62, the encryption key data with the key ID = 3 is shared. Although not explicitly shown in FIG. 9, the key data for encrypted communication between other portable terminals is also updated by performing an operation between the key update data and other encryption key data not shown in the figure. it can.

  As described above, since the key update data necessary for updating the encryption key is generated and distributed in the key management server 1, each portable terminal (a) 2a, portable terminal (b) 2b, portable terminal (C) 2c and portable terminal (d) 2d do not need to generate an encryption key each time the encryption key is updated. In addition, in order to share a new encryption key between mobile terminals, there are a method of creating and distributing new encryption key data and a method of creating and distributing key update data. In this case, the encryption key data is encrypted. Different data must be created for each combination of terminals that perform computerized communication. On the other hand, the key update data may be created in common for all terminals. The encryption key data must be encrypted at the time of data distribution, but the key update data does not need to be encrypted at the time of data distribution. Therefore, the key update data has a lower data creation cost than the encryption key data. Therefore, more key update data can be created as compared with the encryption key data. Therefore, the frequency of key update can be increased by distributing the encryption key data and the key update data together. For example, if you create and distribute encryption key data every 6 hours, you can only renew the key four times per day, but you create and distribute the encryption key data once a day at midnight, and every other hour If key update data is created and distributed at 0 minutes, it is possible to perform key updates every hour, that is, 24 times of key updates per day.

  That is, in the key distribution and key sharing method according to the second embodiment, the key management server 1 includes key update data generation means and key update data distribution means, and each terminal has encryption key calculation means using the key update data. The key management server 1 broadcasts the key update data common to all terminals using one-way communication from the key management server 1 to each terminal, and the updated encryption key from the distributed encryption key and key update data in each terminal is obtained. By calculating, an encryption key used for encrypted communication between terminals is distributed.

Embodiment 3 FIG.
In the third embodiment, operations of key distribution and key sharing by transferring encryption key data between portable terminals will be described.

First, an outline of key distribution and key sharing operations by transferring encryption key data between portable terminals will be described.
FIG. 14 is a diagram showing the data flow when the encryption key data is transferred in the system configuration shown in FIG.
In FIG. 14, encryption key data (bd) 47 is data obtained by encrypting an encryption key used for encrypted communication between the portable terminal (b) 2b and the portable terminal (d) 2d to the portable terminal (b) 2b. . The encryption key data (db) 48 is data obtained by encrypting an encryption key used for encrypted communication between the portable terminal (b) 2b and the portable terminal (d) 2d to the portable terminal (d) 2d.
In this example, it is assumed that the mobile terminal (d) 2d cannot receive various data from the key management server 1 because it is in a position where radio waves from the communication satellite 7 do not reach. Therefore, the portable terminal (b) 2b receives the encryption key data (db) 48 sent to the portable terminal (d) 2d and transfers it to the portable terminal (d) 2d, whereby the portable terminal (b) 2b And the portable terminal (d) 2d share an encryption key.

Next, functions of the mobile terminal according to Embodiment 3 will be described with reference to FIG. Since the function of the key management server 1 is the same as that of the second embodiment, the description thereof is omitted here.
FIG. 15 is a functional block diagram illustrating functions of the mobile terminal according to the third embodiment. The mobile terminal in the third embodiment includes a received data storage unit 28 in addition to the mobile terminal in the second embodiment.
The received data storage unit 28 stores the encryption key data in the storage device 984 as necessary when the received encryption key data is encryption key data destined for another mobile terminal used for communication with the terminal itself. That is, if the encryption key data interpretation unit 26 determines that the encryption key data received by the data reception unit 21 is not broadcasted to the terminal itself, the reception data storage unit 28 stores the encryption key data in the storage device. Store in 984. That is, the encryption key storage unit 27 stores an encryption key used for encrypted communication with another mobile terminal, whereas the received data storage unit 28 temporarily stores various data such as encryption key data addressed to other terminals. store.

  Next, based on FIG. 16, an operation in which the portable terminal shares the encryption key by transferring the encryption key will be described. FIG. 16 is a flowchart showing an operation in which the portable terminal shares the encryption key by transferring the encryption key.

  The operation of the key management server 1 is the same as that of the first embodiment. That is, (S301) to (S303) are the same as (S101) to (S103). That is, the key management server 1 creates the encryption key data 47 and the encryption key data 48 and broadcasts to all the mobile terminals through the communication satellite 7.

Next, processing of the mobile terminal will be described.
In the data reception process (S304), as in (S104) of the first embodiment, the portable terminal (a) 2a, portable terminal (a) other than the portable terminal (d) 2d at the position where the radio wave from the communication satellite 7 does not reach b) The data receiving unit 21 of 2b and the portable terminal (c) 2c receives data from the communication satellite 7.

  In the encryption key data interpretation process (S305), the encryption key data interpretation unit 26 determines whether the data type 51 is encryption key data. If the data type 51 is encryption key data, the encryption key data interpretation unit 26 controls to perform the following processing corresponding to the encryption key data. First, the encryption key data interpretation unit 26 refers to the receiver ID 52 to determine whether or not the encryption key data is addressed to the own terminal. If the encryption key data interpretation unit 26 determines that the encryption key data is addressed to the terminal itself (YES in S305), the process proceeds to (S306). On the other hand, if the encryption key data interpretation unit 26 determines that the encryption key data is not addressed to the terminal itself (NO in S305), the process proceeds to (S309).

  (S306) to (S308) are the same as (S106) to (S108) of the first embodiment.

  In the received data storage process (S309), when the encryption key data interpretation unit 26 determines that the received data storage unit 28 is not the encryption key data addressed to the own terminal, the received data storage unit 28 included the own terminal with reference to the related party IDs 53. Then, the encryption key data is stored in the storage device 984 as it is.

  In the inter-terminal communication process (S309), the inter-terminal communication unit 22 first determines whether or not the partner terminal that performs encrypted communication has an encryption key used for encrypted communication by the processing device 980. When the inter-terminal communication unit 22 determines that the partner terminal has an encryption key used for encrypted communication, the inter-terminal communication unit 22 performs encrypted communication in the same manner as in (S109) of the first embodiment. . On the other hand, when the inter-terminal communication unit 22 determines that the partner terminal does not have an encryption key to be used for encrypted communication, the received data storage unit 28 determines the partner terminal from the encryption key data stored in the storage device 984. Search the encryption key data broadcast as the destination. Next, the inter-terminal communication unit 22 transmits the encryption key data searched by the received data storage unit 28 to the partner terminal. Then, the encryption key is shared with the counterpart terminal, and encrypted communication is performed.

In the example of FIG. 14, the mobile terminal (b) 2b receives the encryption key data 47, acquires the encryption key information with the mobile terminal (d) 2d, and the encryption key storage unit 27 stores it in the storage device 984. The encryption key data 48 is received, and the received data storage unit 28 stores it in the storage device 984 as it is.
When each mobile terminal starts encrypted communication with another mobile terminal, if it is determined that the communication partner terminal does not have an encryption key, the received data storage unit 28 searches the storage device 984. When the receiver ID 52 finds encryption key data that matches the communication partner, the inter-terminal communication unit 22 transfers the encryption key data to the communication partner terminal. Each mobile terminal receives the encryption key data received from the communication partner 22 after the encryption communication is requested from the other party who does not have the encryption key, and the data reception unit 21 is handled in the same way as when received, and the encryption key information is extracted and stored in the storage device 984 in the same manner as described above.

  In the example of FIG. 14, when it is determined that the mobile terminal (b) 2b starts encrypted communication with the mobile terminal (d) 2d, it is found that the mobile terminal (d) 2d does not have an encryption key, and the received data storage unit 28 transfers the encryption key data 48 retrieved from the storage device 984 to the portable terminal (d) 2d. The portable terminal (d) 2d receives the encryption key data 48 transferred from the portable terminal (b) 2b, acquires the encryption key information between the portable terminal (b) 2b and stores it in the storage device 984. Encrypted communication is started with the terminal (b) 2b.

  As described above, even when one portable terminal performing encrypted communication cannot receive the encryption key data from the key management server 1, the necessary encryption key data is transferred from the other portable terminal. Therefore, if any one of the mobile terminals can receive various data from the key management server 1, encrypted communication can be performed.

  That is, in the key distribution and key sharing method according to the third embodiment, each terminal is provided with a means for transferring encryption key data, and the encryption key required by the communication partner terminal for encrypted communication at the start of the encrypted communication between terminals. If it is found that it does not have, the encryption key data encrypted and distributed for the communication partner is received instead and transferred to the terminal of the communication partner, so that the encryption key used for encrypted communication between the terminals is obtained. It is characterized by sharing.

  As described above, in the encrypted communication between the portable terminal (a) 2a and the portable terminal (c) 2c, instead of the encryption key generated and distributed by the key management server 1, the user of each terminal shares in advance. Since the encrypted communication is performed using the secret information 49 and the calculation result as the encryption key, the encrypted communication can be performed in such a way that even the key management server 1 cannot decrypt the encrypted communication contents between both terminals. It can be performed.

  That is, in the key distribution and key sharing method according to the fifth embodiment, each terminal includes encryption key calculation means based on secret information and encryption key data, and each terminal decrypts the encryption key data received from the key management server 1. Instead of using the contents as an encryption key as they are, the encryption key used for encrypted communication between each terminal is shared by using the calculation result with the secret information input by the user of the terminal as the encryption key. And

The revocation information creating unit 19 creates the part revocation information 99 in order to distribute the revocation information 99 of the portable terminal (c) 2c. The revocation information creation unit 19 sets the ID representing the mobile terminal (c) 2c to the revocation terminal IDs 94, sets the loss date and time reported to the revocation date and time 95 to other information 96 as the reason for revocation, and executes terminal information 92 Create Then, the authentication value calculation unit 15 creates an authentication value set 93 from the revoked terminal information 92 using the device key of each portable terminal managed by the device key management unit 16. Further, the revocation information creation unit 19 creates revocation information 99 by setting the data type 91.

  In the data transmission process (S602), the data transmission unit 12 transmits the revocation information 99 created by the key management server 1 to the communication satellite 7 via the ground station 6, and the revocation information 99 is transmitted from the communication satellite 7 to all mobile phones. Broadcast to terminals. Since there is a possibility that communication from the communication satellite 7 to each portable terminal does not reach, the revocation information 99 is periodically and repeatedly transmitted.

Next, processing of the mobile terminal will be described.
The portable terminal (a) 2a, portable terminal (b) 2b, and portable terminal (d) 2d, which are portable terminals other than the portable terminal (c) 2c, receive the revocation information 99 transmitted from the communication satellite 7, The encryption key related to the revoked terminal is deleted from 984, and if communication with the revoked terminal is in progress, the communication is immediately stopped.

  In the data reception process (S603), the data reception unit 21 of each portable terminal receives data from the communication satellite 7.

  In the revocation information interpretation process (S604), the revocation information interpretation unit 36 determines whether or not the data type 91 is revocation information 99. When the data type 91 is the revocation information 99, the revocation information interpretation unit 36 controls to perform the following processing corresponding to the revocation information 99. The authentication value calculation unit 24 calculates an authentication value for the revoked terminal information 92 using the device key of the own terminal managed by the device key management unit 25, and the authentication value for the own terminal included in the authentication value set 93 Confirm that the file has not been tampered with by comparing it with. When no alteration is detected, the revocation information interpretation unit 36 refers to the revocation terminal IDs 94, searches the storage device 984 for an encryption key including the terminal ID included therein, and stores all the corresponding encryption keys in the storage device. Delete from 984. Furthermore, the revocation information interpretation unit 36 checks whether or not communication is currently being performed with the mobile terminal having the terminal ID included in the revocation terminal IDs 94, and if communication is being performed, instructs the inter-terminal communication unit 22 to stop communication. . Further, the inter-terminal communication unit 22 stops communication when receiving an instruction to stop communication.

  As described above, when a loss or theft of a mobile terminal occurs and a report is made from the terminal user to the system administrator, the revocation information for the key management server 1 to notify the revocation of the corresponding mobile terminal 99 is created and distributed to all mobile terminals, so communication with mobile terminals stolen by unauthorized users is immediately stopped and subsequent encrypted communication with the wrong partner terminal is performed. Can be prevented.

  That is, in the key distribution and key sharing method according to the sixth embodiment, the key management server 1 includes a generation unit and a distribution unit for generating the key revocation information 99, and each terminal includes a key discarding unit that uses the revocation information 99. When the management server 1 receives a report of terminal loss or theft from a user of the terminal, the management server 1 generates revocation information 99 corresponding to all encryption keys related to the terminal, and sends it to each terminal using one-way communication. When the revocation information 99 is received at each terminal, the corresponding encryption key is discarded, and the communication with the lost terminal is immediately stopped.

The key management server 1 according to the seventh embodiment includes an invalidation command creation unit 20 in addition to the key management server 1 according to the sixth embodiment.
The invalidation command creating unit 20 creates a terminal invalidation command 100 for invalidating the function of the mobile terminal that has been lost or stolen to prevent unauthorized use. In other words, the processing unit 980 creates the terminal invalidation instruction 100 that instructs the stop of the predetermined function of the invalid terminal whose predetermined function is invalidated by the processing unit 980.

FIG. 32 is a functional block diagram illustrating functions of the mobile terminal according to the seventh embodiment. The mobile terminal in the seventh embodiment includes an invalidation command interpretation unit 37 in addition to the mobile terminal in the sixth embodiment.
The invalidation command interpretation unit 37 interprets the terminal invalidation command 100 from the key management server 1 received by the data reception unit 21. If the invalidation command is an invalidation command for the own terminal, the invalidation command interpretation unit 37 initializes or erases internal data. Disable it. That is, the invalidation command interpretation unit 37 determines whether or not the received invalidation data is broadcasted with the own terminal as the destination, and determines that the invalidation data is broadcast with the own terminal as the destination. In this case, the predetermined function is stopped by the processing device 980. The invalidation command interpreting unit 37 stores the terminal invalidation command 100 using the received data storage unit 28 in the case of an invalidation command for another portable terminal, and also requests a communication request from the corresponding portable terminal. Is received, the terminal invalidation command 100 is transferred using the inter-terminal communication unit 22.

Next, based on FIG. 33, the operation of terminal invalidation by transmission of the terminal invalidation command 100 will be described. FIG. 33 is a flowchart showing an operation of terminal invalidation by transmission of the terminal invalidation command 100.
In this example, it is assumed that the portable terminal (d) 2d has been stolen and the terminal has to be invalidated. The user of the portable terminal (d) 2d reports to the system administrator that the terminal has been stolen.

First, the process of the key management server 1 will be described.
In the invalid information creation process (S701), when receiving a report that the terminal has been stolen, for example, the system administrator has information necessary for distributing the terminal invalidation command 100 through the input interface 11 of the key management server 1. And instructing the creation and distribution of the terminal invalidation command 100. The invalidation instruction creating unit 20 creates the terminal invalidation instruction 100 in order to distribute the terminal invalidation instruction 100 of the portable terminal (d) 2d. The invalidation command creation unit 20 sets the ID indicating the portable terminal (d) 2d in the invalidation terminal IDs104, the theft date and time reported in the invalidation date 105, and theft as the reason for invalidation in the other information 106 The invalidation terminal information 102 is created. Then, the authentication value calculation unit 15 creates an authentication value set 103 from the invalidated terminal information 102 using the device key of each portable terminal managed by the device key management unit 16. Further, the invalidation command creating unit 20 creates the terminal invalidation command 100 by setting the data type 101.

  In the data transmission process (S702), the data transmission unit 12 transmits the terminal invalidation command 100 created by the key management server 1 to the communication satellite 7 via the ground station 6, and the terminal invalidation command 100 is transmitted from the communication satellite 7. Broadcast communication to all mobile terminals. Since there is a possibility that communication from the communication satellite 7 to each portable terminal may not reach, the terminal invalidation command 100 is periodically and repeatedly transmitted.

Next, processing of the mobile terminal will be described.
The mobile terminal (a) 2a, the mobile terminal (b) 2b, the mobile terminal (c) 2c, and the mobile terminal (d) 2d receive the terminal invalidation command 100 transmitted from the communication satellite 7, and invalidate the own terminal. If it is an instruction, the terminal is invalidated such as erasing internal data or stopping the copy.

  In the data reception process (S703), the data reception unit 21 of each portable terminal receives data from the communication satellite 7.

  In the invalidation command interpretation process (S704), the invalidation command interpretation unit 37 determines whether the data type 101 is the terminal invalidation command 100 or not. When the invalidation command interpretation unit 37 determines that the data type 101 is the terminal invalidation command 100, the invalidation command interpretation unit 37 controls to perform the following processing corresponding to the terminal invalidation command 100. The authentication value calculation unit 24 calculates an authentication value for the invalidated terminal information 102 using the device key of the own terminal managed by the device key management unit 25, and performs authentication for the own terminal included in the authentication value set 103. Confirm that the data has not been tampered with by comparing with the value. The invalidation command interpretation unit 37 refers to the invalidation terminal IDs 104 when no falsification is detected, and performs internal data deletion, function stop, etc. when its own terminal ID is included.

Next, based on FIG. 34, the operation of terminal invalidation by the portable terminal transferring the terminal invalidation command 100 will be described. FIG. 34 is a flowchart showing the terminal invalidation operation by the portable terminal transferring the terminal invalidation command 100.
In this example, it is assumed that the portable terminal (d) 2d has been stolen and the terminal has to be invalidated.

  The processes (S801) and (S802) of the key management server 1 are the same as the above (S701) and (S702).

Processing of the mobile terminal will be described.
The mobile terminal (a) 2a, the mobile terminal (b) 2b, the mobile terminal (c) 2c, and the mobile terminal (d) 2d receive the terminal invalidation command 100 transmitted from the communication satellite 7, and invalidate the own terminal. If it is an instruction, terminal invalidation such as internal data erasure or copy stop is performed, and if it is an invalidation instruction for another portable terminal, it is stored using the received data storage unit 28.

  In the data reception process (S803), the data reception unit 21 of each portable terminal receives data from the communication satellite 7.

  In the invalidation command interpretation process (S804), the invalidation command interpretation unit 37 controls to perform the following processing corresponding to the terminal invalidation command 100 when the data type 101 is the terminal invalidation command 100. . The authentication value calculation unit 24 calculates an authentication value for the invalidated terminal information 102 using the device key of the own terminal managed by the device key management unit 25, and performs authentication for the own terminal included in the authentication value set 103. Confirm that the data has not been tampered with by comparing with the value. If tampering is not detected, the invalidation terminal IDs 104 is referred to, and if its own terminal ID is included (YES in S804), the invalidation command interpretation unit 37 proceeds to (S805). On the other hand, when its own terminal ID is not included (NO in S804), the invalidation command interpretation unit 37 proceeds to (S806).

  In the invalidation command interpretation process (S805), the invalidation command interpretation unit 37 performs internal data deletion, function stop, and the like.

In the received data storage process (S806), the invalidation command interpretation unit 37 stores the terminal invalidation command 100 using the received data storage unit 28.
In this example, when the portable terminal (d) 2d receives the terminal invalidation command 100, it deletes its own internal data or stops the copy. On the other hand, when the mobile terminal (a) 2a, the mobile terminal (b) 2b, and the mobile terminal (c) 2c receive the terminal invalidation command 100, the received data storage unit 28 is used to store the terminal invalidation command 100. .

  In the inter-terminal communication process (S807), the inter-terminal communication unit 22 of each mobile terminal searches for the terminal invalidation command 100 stored in the received data storage unit 28 at the start of communication, and the invalidation terminal IDs 104 stores the communication partner terminal. When the terminal invalidation instruction 100 including the ID is found, it is transferred to the communication partner terminal using the inter-terminal communication unit 22. The inter-terminal communication unit 22 of each mobile terminal receives the terminal invalidation command 100 when the terminal invalidation command 100 is transferred from the communication partner at the start of communication.

  In the invalidation command interpretation process (S808), the invalidation command interpretation unit 37 of the portable terminal to which the terminal invalidation command 100 has been transferred is handled in the same manner as when received using the data reception unit 21, and the procedure described above. Similarly to the above, the invalidation terminal information 102 is extracted, and processing corresponding to the terminal invalidation instruction 100 is performed.

  In this example, the person who stole the portable terminal (d) 2d brings the portable terminal (d) 2d to a place where the terminal invalidation command 100 from the communication satellite 7 does not reach, and impersonates the terminal user. Assume that communication with 2b is attempted. The mobile terminal (b) 2b that has received the communication start request from the mobile terminal (d) 2d receives the terminal invalidation command 100 according to the procedure described above, and stores it in the received data storage unit 28. (D) The terminal invalidation command 100 is transferred to 2d. The mobile terminal (d) 2d receives the terminal invalidation command 100 transferred from the mobile terminal (b) 2b, and performs its own internal data erasure and function stop as when received from the communication satellite 7.

  As described above, when the mobile terminal is lost or stolen and the terminal user reports to the system administrator, the key management server 1 is a terminal for instructing the invalidation of the mobile terminal Since the invalidation instruction 100 is created and distributed to all portable terminals, the portable terminal robbed by the unauthorized user receives radio waves from the network 3, the base station 4, and the base station 5 of the portable terminal. Even if it is brought into a place where it does not reach, the data inside the terminal can be deleted or the function can be stopped. Further, since the terminal invalidation command 100 is transferred via another portable terminal, the portable terminal stolen by an unauthorized user is brought into a place where the terminal invalidation command 100 from the communication satellite 7 does not reach. However, when impersonation communication with another mobile terminal is attempted, the data in the terminal can be erased or the function can be stopped.

  That is, in the terminal management method according to the seventh embodiment, the key management server 1 includes a transmission unit for the terminal invalidation command 100, and each terminal includes a reception unit and a transfer unit for the terminal invalidation command 100. When receiving a report of terminal loss or theft from a terminal user, it creates an invalidation command for the corresponding terminal and broadcasts it to each terminal using one-way communication. By invalidating its own function when receiving a message, or by receiving a deactivation command on behalf of a terminal other than the corresponding terminal and transferring the invalidation command when a communication request from the corresponding terminal is generated The terminal that has been lost or stolen is invalidated.
