<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for improving security in a communication system used to transfer information between at least a pair of correspondents. <P>SOLUTION: The communication performed between correspondents generally has steps of: one of the correspondents generating key pairs in accordance with the arithmetic properties of a prescribed algorithm, transmitting one of the keys, which is a public key, to the other party with a certificate, and generating and transmitting a signature using a private key of the key pairs; and the recipient transmitting the signature to the other correspondent and verifying the signature. The invention further provides the additional step of verifying the public key conforming to the arithmetic properties determined by the requirements of the prescribed algorithm. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
