Abstract(in English) The system proposed in [Kanda and Takashima, SCIS97-2A (1997)] is a Key Recovery System based on Diffie-Hellman key establishing schem. It allows the agency to wiretap the target's communication and decipher the message enciphered, even if the target is a sender or a receiver, but is designed not to be able to do that for the messages communicated during the period non-accepted by the court. However we propose the attack which allows the agency to decipher the target's communication from the information obtained out of the previous low enforcement anytime. In this paper, we examine several settlements against the attack and discuss the security of each modified method. Moreover, we note on the efficiency of a law enforcement and the user's privacy in the key escrow/recovery system.
