DATA ELECTRONIC ENCRYPTION UNITS
Technical Examples
- A shift device for shifting a first place of a data word, which consists of a plurality of places, to a second place so as to obtain a shifted data word, wherein the first place is encrypted using a first encryption parameter and wherein the second place is encrypted using a second encryption parameter, includes a unit for shifting the first place of the data word to the second place of the data word, a unit for re-encrypting the first place from an encryption using the first encryption parameter into an encryption using the second encryption parameter, and a control for controlling the unit for shifting and the unit for re-encryption so that the first place is first shifted to the second place and is then re-encrypted, or that the first place is first re-encrypted and is then shifted to the second place. This ensures that data encrypted either with the first encryption parameter or with the second encryption parameter are always shifted, thus making it harder for attackers to eavesdrop on clear text data.
- A data transfer method which eliminates erroneous operation of conventional devices not supporting encryption when copy-protected AV information is encrypted and sent on an IEEE 1394 bus. Synchronous data transferred through isochronous communication contains i) encryption identification information for indicating encryption of actual data and ii) actual data. Only the actual data is encrypted. Encryption identification information indicating encryption of actual data in synchronous data is sent together with actual data from the sending device. A receiving device detecting encryption of actual data from this encryption identification information requests decrypting information from the sending device. The receiving device decrypts the actual data using decrypting information received from the sending device according to this request.
- An encrypted private session key for a private-key encryption method is quickly exchanged between a first device and a second device by computing encryption acceleration data using a public key for a public-key encryption method. The encryption acceleration data and the public key are sent to and used on the second device to encrypt a private session key exchanged between the first device and second device. The private-key encryption method is quickly initialized on the second device using encryption initialization data for the private-key encryption method computed on the first device using the exchanged private session key sent to the second device. The encryption acceleration data and encryption initialization data reduce a number of calculations needed on the second device to initialize and use the private-key encryption method, thereby reducing the overall time needed to create a cryptographically secure communications channel between the first device and the second device.
- A system and method for protecting data within a portable electronic device to prevent unauthorized access to that data. Encryption of data within the portable electronic device and automatic erasure of data upon unauthorized attempted access is provided. A limited number of attempts to access the portable electronic device are allowed, and if exceeded, the data is automatically erased without notification. Data transfer functions of the portable electronic device are also disabled when the device is locked. Erasing of data is also provided if the portable electronic device is not synced with another device during a predetermined time period.
- An expansion key generating device that receives encryption key data as input, and outputs plural expansion key data, comprising: a data dividing unit operable to divide the encryption key data into plural part key data; and plural key conversion units being connected in series, which output the plural expansion key data. Each of the plural key conversion units includes: an output calculation unit operable to receive the plural part key data or plural output data from a preceding key conversion unit as plural input data, which executes a fixed conversion process for each of the plural input data in so that each bit value of each of the plural input data does not interfere each other, and further outputs plural output data to a subsequent key conversion unit; and an expansion key calculation unit operable to combine plural input data and calculate the expansion key data.
