Title:
INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, DECODING METHOD, INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2006/030635
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
There is provided an encrypted text providing structure based on the CS method capable of reducing the information amount to be stored in the device for decrypting the encrypted text and the calculation amount. A Rabin Tree is generated as a one-direction tree where a node correspondence value is set for each of the nodes constituting a hierarchical tree. A node correspondence value NVa is set in such a manner that it can be calculated by applying a function f based on a node correspondence value NVb set to correspond to at least one lower node and a node addition variable saltb. A node key NK corresponding to each node is configured so that it can be calculated by inputting a node correspondence value NV corresponding to each node and applying a function Hc. With this configuration, it is possible to reduce the information amount required to be held safely in a receiver and reduce the calculation amount required for calculating the node key in the receiver, there by realizing effective encryption, distribution, and decryption.
