PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an electronic-key opening/closing system which eliminates the risk that an electronic key may be subjected to fraudulent unlocking because information required for the unlocking is known to others. SOLUTION: This electronic-key opening/closing system comprises a box 1 which is equipped with the electronic key 4 and a key control part 5, and a portable terminal 2 with a storage part 8 for communication, which can be communicated with the box 1 only in the state of being close to it. A secret key and a public key corresponding to the secret key are stored in the portable terminal 2; in a locking operation, the public key is written in the storage part 8; and in an unlocking operation, a letter string for authentication, which is received from the control part 5, is encrypted by using the secret key and written into the storage part 8. The control part 5 stores the public key read from the storage part 8 in the unlocked state of the electronic key. When the portable terminal 2 is put into a close state under a locked state, the letter string for authentication is generated and written into the storage part 8, and a cipher, which is read from the storage part 8 of the portable terminal 2, is decrypted by the public key which is stored in locking. When the decrypted cypher corresponds to the letter string for authentication, unlocking is performed by using the electronic key. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
