[0140] figure 1 is an exemplary diagram simply showing the first embodiment.

[0141] A management server 7 that manages device authentication information is installed at the management center 3 and is used to encrypt the device authentication information before transmitting the encrypted device authentication information to the factory 5 .

[0142] The connecting means 10 are linked to the connectors of the CE equipment 9 by workers of the factory. The connection device 10 provides the device authentication information received from the management server 7 to the CE device 9 in its encrypted state as it is.

[0143] The CE device 9 includes an embedded writing module for decrypting the encrypted device authentication information and storing the decryption result in the storage unit.

[0144] As mentioned above, the writing module decrypts the encrypted device authentication information received from the connection device 10 and stores the decryption result in the storage u...

[0151] figure 2 A typical configuration of CE equipment manufacturing / certification system 1 is shown. The manufacturing / certification system 1 is a system for manufacturing and certifying CE devices 9 . The figure shows neither the service server providing services to the CE device 9 nor other devices.

[0152] Manufacturing / certification system 1 includes business organization 11 , management center 3 , factory 5 , CE equipment 9 and equipment certification server 8 .

[0153] Business organization 11 is a company that manufactures CE equipment 9 . The business organization 11 is the enterprise that brings CE devices to the market. Activities to bring CE devices 9 to market include planning, developing and selling CE devices 9 .

[0154] The management center 3 is an organization that manages device authentication information to be included in the CE device 9 . The management center 3 also manages distribution of device authentication information and encrypted informat...

[0334] Figure 10 It is a demonstration diagram simply showing the second embodiment

[0335] In the case of this embodiment, in the process of generating device authentication information, by using the same logic in the management server 7 and CE device 9, information serving as a source for generating device authentication information is converted into device authentication information. For example, source information is encrypted so that device authentication information is generated in the same encryption process using the same encryption key in the management server 7 and CE device 9 .

[0336] First, the management server 7 transmits source information to the factory 5, and converts the source information into device authentication information in a process of generating device authentication information.

[0337] On the other hand, in the factory 5 , the source information is supplied to the CE equipment 9 via the connection device 10 . Subsequently, the CE device 9 co...

Abstract

There is provided a terminal device capable of safely installing device authentication information into a CE device. A management server (7) encrypts device authentication information and transmits it to factory (5). Connection means (10) is connected to a connector of a CE device (9) by a factory worker. The device authentication information transmitted from the management server (7) is inputted in the encrypted state to the CE device (9). The CE device (9) has a built-in write module for decrypting the encrypted device authentication information and storing it. The device authentication information inputted from the connection means (10) is decrypted by the write module and stored in the storage device in the CE device (9). Since the device authentication information is inputted in the encrypted state to the CE device (9), it is possible to safely install the device authentication information.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to devices such as terminals. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method for securely processing device authentication information in a device by encrypting the information, storing the encrypted information in the device, and decrypting the encrypted information in the device Technology. Background technique [0002] In recent years, CE (Consumer Electronics) equipment has become common and widely used. Examples of CE devices are audio-visual equipment such as VCRs, stereos and televisions and home electronics such as rice cookers and refrigerators and other electronic devices, each of which includes an embedded computer to benefit from services provided over the network. [0003] Services provided by the server include services requiring authentication of CE devices. To this end, the CE device includes device authentication information embedded in a factory in advance as information for authenticatin...
