Abstract

When an incoming call corresponding to a communication number PID takes place in a switching station, the switching station retrieves user-intrinsic information UK and an incoming-communication registered terminal identification number SID and sends the communication number PID to a communication terminal. When the communication terminal replies, the switching station generates a random number R and sends it to the communication terminal. In addition, the switching station generates a cryptical key K=F (R, UK) corresponding to the user-intrinsic information UK and the random number R. The communication terminal generates a cryptical key K=F (R, UK) corresponding to the received random number R and the user-intrinsic information UK that is input by the user. The switching station and the communication terminal encrypt the communication information corresponding to the cryptical key K and decrypt received encrypted communication information.
