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.
