Provided is an analysis device that reduces false detection of an attack event to appropriately output an anomaly notification. The analysis device configured to be communicable with a plurality of monitoring-target devices collects monitoring results of each of the monitoring-target devices, determines whether an anomaly has occurred in each of the monitoring-target devices, based on the monitoring results, and

Intrusion anomaly monitoring analysis device in vehicle environment that detects and responds to secure boot processing tampering

An electronic control device includes a tamper storage unit that stores a secure boot key and a control key, and has tamper resistance, a processor that is able to execute a program, a verification unit that verifies a program by using the secure boot key, performs secure boot causing the processor to execute the program based on a result of the verification, and has tamper resistance, a calculation unit that performs calculation related to encryption using the control key, and has tamper resistance, and a general storage unit that stores a first program that implements a delegated verification unit to which authority of the secure boot is delegated from the verification unit and a second program that implements a control unit that uses the calculation unit, and does not have tamper resistance. The verification unit delegates the authority of the secure boot to the delegated verification unit to end the execution of the secure boot when the verification for the first program and the second program is successful and the processor is caused to execute the first program and the second program, the calculation unit starts an operation when the verification unit ends the execution of the secure boot, and the delegated verification unit is able to simultaneously execute processing with the calculation unit.

A semiconductor device includes a first structure component comprising a first transistor, a first dummy pattern, a second structure component comprising a second transistor and a second dummy pattern. The first structure component and the first dummy pattern have a first height, and the second structure component and the second dummy pattern have a second height lower than the first height.

Semiconductor device and semiconductor device manufacturing method

Method of dividing data to be stored in storage device into data fragments; recording the data by using configurations of divided data fragments; judging whether identical data fragments exist in data fragments; when it is judged that identical data fragments exist, storing one of the identical data fragments in storage area of the storage device, and generating and recording data-fragment attribute information indicating an attribute unique to the data fragment stored; upon receipt of request to read data stored in the storage area of the storage device, acquiring the configurations of the data fragments forming the read-target data, reading the corresponding data fragments from the storage area of the storage device, and restoring the data; acquiring and coupling the recorded data fragments to generate concatenation target data targeted for judgment on whether chunk concatenation is possible or not, and detecting whether the concatenation target data has a repeated data pattern.

Stored data deduplication method, stored data deduplication apparatus, and deduplication program

The SRAM memory cell includes a metal wiring line having a titanium or tantalum film in a bottom layer, and a via having a tungsten plug. The via is arranged on the metal line following a layout rule which permits the misalignment. In arranging the upper-layer via with a tungsten plug on the metal line, one side of the via is disposed to be adjacent to one end of the metal line with a margin smaller than an alignment accuracy, and the lower-layer via is laid out far away from the end of the metal line as possible. The reduction in the yield, caused by the problem of the contact with the lower-layer via being broken or increased in resistance at occurrence of misalignment, can be suppressed.

In search that uses searchable code, the search query and the secure index is collated in round-robins fashion, registering the required secure index and a characteristic quantity of deposited data in a database server to realize the searchable code. The server uses the characteristic quantity to perform clustering on the secure index. For search, collation is first performed only for representative data of a cluster. For a hit, the collation priority is raised for all the data included in the cluster. When there is no hit, the priority is lowered. After calculating the priority, collation is performed sequentially for all the data on the basis of the priority.

Secure search method and secure search device

An improvement is provided in a manufacturing yield of a semiconductor device including transistors in which gate insulating films have different thicknesses. After a high-breakdown-voltage insulating film is formed over a silicon substrate, a surface of the high-breakdown-voltage insulating film is abraded for a reduction in the thickness thereof so that a middle-breakdown-voltage insulating film is formed to be adjacent to the high-breakdown-voltage insulating film. The high-breakdown-voltage insulating film is formed by a thermal oxidation method so as to extend from an inside of the main surface of the silicon substrate to an outside thereof. The middle-breakdown-voltage insulating film is formed so as to be thinner than the high-breakdown-voltage insulating film. The high-breakdown-voltage insulating film is formed as the gate insulating film of a high-breakdown-voltage MIS transistor, while the middle-breakdown-voltage insulating film is formed as the gate insulating film of a middle-breakdown-voltage MIS transistor.

At least one kind of control signal concerning control of contents, added to specific locations inside contents data, is detected as first control information, and at the same time, at least one kind of control information concerning control of contents, embedded inside the contents data by a digital watermark, is detected as second control information. Consistency between the first control information as detected, and the second control information as detected is determined and on the basis of results of the determination, the control of the contents is executed. Thus, it is possible to reduce a possibility of the contents being improperly copied, thereby enabling the control with assurance of still higher safety.

A technology of digital watermarking for binary images (including documents) is provided, which is capable of adjusting the amount of information to be embedded while avoiding the deterioration of image quality as far as possible. The watermark information is inserted by giving the standard for judgment of modification and the order of preference for modification according to the characteristic properties of the human visual sense for binary images and performing modification on pixels sequentially in the descending order of preference.

The problem is to make a reliability decision on printed matter without using special ink or a dedicated blank. At least a part of a feature of a state included in printed matter is recorded by using a predetermined method at the time of printing. At the time of verification, the feature of the state acquired from the printed matter is compared with the feature recorded at the time of printing to conduct verification. As this feature, a feature value determined on the basis of a feature of the state of the printed matter, in the state of the printed matter determined in association with spatial distribution of a coloring portion on the printing surface, at the time when printing first information to be recorded is used.
