METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING A PRODUCT, SYSTEM FOR MANUFACTURING A PRODUCT, AND PRODUCT
First Claim
1. A method for manufacturing a product that involves encrypting at least a portion of an original message given from a sender to recipient associated with the product and imprinting the encrypted value onto the product, the method being performed by a product manufacturing system and comprising the steps of:
- (a) acquiring the original message, by a means of a message acquiring section in the product manufacturing system;
(b) setting at least a portion of the original message to be a calculation target message and acquiring a calculated encryption value by compressing the calculation target message with a hash function, by means of an encryption calculating apparatus in the product manufacturing system; and
(c) imprinting the calculated encryption value onto the product as an imprinted encryption value, by means of an imprinting apparatus in the product manufacturing system.

Abstract
Provided is a product on which is imprinted an encrypted message obtained by encrypting a message sent along with the product from a sender to a recipient, a method for manufacturing the product, and a system for manufacturing the product. The product manufacturing system has a general web server, an encryption calculating apparatus, an issued encryption values database, a specialized web server, an archive database, and an imprinting apparatus. The product manufacturing system is provided with a message acquiring section that acquires the original message sent along with the product from the sender to the recipient, an encryption calculating apparatus that generates a calculated encryption value by using a hash function to compress a calculation target message extracted from the original message, and an imprinting control section that controls imprinting of the calculated encryption value onto the product.

6. A product manufacturing system that encrypts at least a portion of an original message given from a sender to a recipient associated with a product and imprints the encrypted value onto the product, comprising:
-
message acquiring section that acquires the original message; a calculation encryption processing section that sets at least a portion of the original message to be a calculation target message and acquires a calculated encryption value by compressing the calculation target message with a hash function; and an imprinting apparatus that imprints the calculated encryption value onto the product as an imprinted encryption value.
