METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TRANSMITTING/RECEIVING USER PERSONAL INFORMATION USING AGENT

摘要

A method and a device for transceiving personal information of a user with an agent are provided to safely transfer the personal information of the user by transferring the agent including the personal information to a client requiring the personal information of the user. An information detector(102) detects the stored personal information of the user by receiving a message requesting the personal information of the user from the client(120). A key generator(105) generates an encoding key and a decoding key for encoding/decoding the detected personal information. An encoder(104) encodes the detected personal information with the encoding key and signs the encoded personal information. An agent generator(106) generates the agent including the encoded personal information, a personal information signature value, and verification information making the personal information provided to only the legal client. A transceiver(101) outputs the request message received from the client to the information detector, and transmits the generated agent and the decoding key to the client.
