Creating a Safe and Secure Environment for ICT Users
- Investing resources in the creation of a secure environment for ICT users
- Conducting R&D to develop technology for ensuring communications network safety and security
Achieving a safe and secure environment for ICT users
The rapid spread of e-money and Internet banking has been accompanied by an increase in ID and password theft. The use of file sharing software has also led to the unauthorized access of data. The NTT Group is taking various measures to address these problems. For example, Plala Networks has added a Winny Filter function for blocking traffic from the Winny file sharing network as a security service for its B FLET'S optical access service for private users. NTT DoCoMo too offers a service for enabling users to remotely lock their mobile phones, and NTT IT offers USB keys with which users can safely operate their PCs from remote PCs.The NTT Group will continue to invest resources in initiatives to create a safer and more secure environment for its customers.
Mobile phone-based one-time password serviceOur one-time password service is a system for enhancing user authentication and security by changing user passwords each time used. Generating such passwords previously required specialized hardware, but with NTT DATA's newly introduced system, users can now download a special password generation software program to their mobile phones. NTT Group companies are constantly working on security enhancements such as this for Internet banking and other financial transactions. |
Creating a safe and secure user environment through R&D
NTT Group companies conduct a wide range of advanced encryption and other security-related research to protect communications network integrity from security threats and create a safe and secure user environment.| Name | Description | ?Research organization |
|---|---|---|
| Watermark authentication platform | This is a platform for enabling simple authentication using paper cards with watermarked photos or logos printed on those cards. | NTT Cyber Space Laboratories |
| Technology for the effective use of sensor databases | This is platform configuration technology for building systems for handling time series data constantly generated in large volumes by ubiquitous data sources. It can be used as a platform for applications such as logistics, healthcare, crime prevention, traffic control, and disaster prevention. | NTT Cyber Space Laboratories |
| A faster, more reliable, more functional database management system | NTT Cyber Space Laboratories has developed redundant configuration technology (cluster technology) featuring a queuing system synchronized with operational data and designed to boost the reliability of the PostgreSQL open source database for the provision of 24-hour services and stable services during times of disaster. | NTT Cyber Space Laboratories |
| International standard encryption algorithm "Camellia" | Camellia is an encryption algorithm featuring world-class security and performance to support the advanced information society. It is the first encryption algorithm developed in Japan to have been adopted as international platform technology into Linux and other international open source software. | NTT Information Sharing Platform Laboratories |
| Quantum encryption | NTT Basic Research Laboratories, in collaboration with the National Institute of Informatics Stanford Division and the National Institute of Standards and Technology has succeeded in transmitting quantum encryption keys using single photon-level light over a world-record 200 km of optical fiber. | NTT Basic Research Laboratories |
