Electronic cashless transaction system
First Claim
1. An electronic cashless transaction system in which:
- a bank center stores in an IC card a sum of amount transfer data from a holder'"'"'s account as an unsettled funds file, and a store transaction terminal at a participating store stores a transaction amount totalled by each network bank for executing a settlement by billing to the bank center amount data on every lapse of a duration, and the IC card has its balance register store a usable amount after an input of the bank center for a storage of a usable amount in the balance register after a balance adjustment after each transaction;
said electronic cashless transaction system comprising;
an accumulated transaction data register/coder means provided in the IC card for calculating accumulated transaction data in the store transaction terminal for a predetermined period, and for boding said accumulated transaction data in the store transaction terminal by using Bank key;
an accumulated transaction data storer means for storing said accumulated transaction data and their code obtained by said transaction data register/coder means;
a fraud-proof detector means for, each time a store transaction is made using IC card, coding the accumulated transaction data stored in said accumulated transaction data store means before operating in said accumulated transaction data register/coder means, checking through comparison whether or not the coded accumulated transaction data match the coded data previously stored in said accumulated transaction data store means, and determining that no fraud-proof has been made if a check indicates a coincident result and that a fraud-proof has been made to the accumulated transaction data if the check indicates a non-coincident result;
a fraud-proof settlement maker means, activated by a billing request, for detecting from accumulated transaction data and their code whether or not transaction data billed from said store transaction terminal to said bank center have been altered during a predetermined duration, for transferring money to a store account on detecting no discrepancy, thereby making a settlement as requested by said store transaction terminal, and for terminating the process without making a settlement on detecting a discrepancy.

Abstract
A key control method is for use in an electronic cashless transaction system including at least a bank center, a store transaction terminal and an IC card being used as an electronic cashless transaction medium. The key control method comprises a step of having the bank center generate and code a first parameter for a transmission to the IC card; a step of having the IC card receive and decode the coded first parameter by using the first key, thereby reconstructing the first parameter issued by the bank center, perform a first operation on the first parameter and a password of a holder of the IC card, and store in a first register; a step of having the store transaction terminal send to the IC card a second parameter coded by a second key, when the holder inserts the IC card 11 into the store transaction terminal; a step of having the IC card decode the coded second parameter by using the second key, thereby reconstructing the second parameter received from the store transaction terminal, perform a second operation on the second parameter and the value stored in the first register, store a result of the second operation in the second register; and a step of decoding a value stored in the second register by using a coding session key stored in a memory of the IC card, thereby obtaining a key for an intended authentication.
