INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE SAME, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18606379 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE SAME, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

The abstract of this patent application describes an information processing apparatus that can determine the timing for calculating a code used in verifying the authenticity of partial data for digital signature processing.

  • The apparatus includes one or more memories and processors.
  • The processors and memories work together to pre-calculate codes before the start of digital signature processing.
  • This pre-calculation helps streamline the verification process and enhance data security.

Potential Applications: This technology could be used in secure communication systems, financial transactions, and data authentication processes.

Problems Solved: This technology addresses the need for efficient and secure digital signature processing, reducing the risk of data tampering and unauthorized access.

Benefits: Enhanced data security, streamlined verification processes, and improved efficiency in digital signature processing.

Commercial Applications: This technology could be valuable for companies in the cybersecurity, finance, and data management industries, where secure data authentication is crucial.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does pre-calculation of codes improve the efficiency of digital signature processing? 2. What are the potential risks associated with digital signature processing that this technology helps mitigate?


Original Abstract Submitted

Some embodiments of an information processing apparatus comprise one or more memories and one or more processors. The one or more processors and the one or more memories are configured to determine, for partial data contained in electronic data to be a target of digital signature processing, a timing for calculating a code to be used in verification of authenticity of the partial data; and perform, pre-calculation of the code determined to be pre-calculable at a timing before a start of the digital signature processing, at the timing.
