Abstract From the Canadian patent

In order to attain high speed and secure encryption a communication apparatus comprises a random number generation circuit for sequentially generating random number sequences which assure difficulty in terms of amount of calculation in cryptoanalyzing the sequences based on output sequences while using a cryptographic key shared by partner stations as an initial value and an encryption circuit for sequentially encrypting communication texts and outputting cryptograms in a transmitting station and sequentially cryptoanalyzing the cryptograms and outputting the same in a receiving station faster than the sequential generation of the random numbers by the random number generation circuit.

Why it's free to use

  • Filed July 15, 1994 and granted August 10, 1999. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended July 15, 2014.
  • A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by July 15, 2016.
  • We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
