摘要:
An enabling key block (EKB) used in an encrypted key distributing tree structure is generated by forming a simplified 2-branch or multi-branch type tree with a terminal node or leaf which is capable of decrypting on the basis of a key corresponding to a node or a leaf of the Simplified tree. Further, the EKB includes a tag for indicating a position of an encrypted key in the tree. The tag not only discriminates position but also stores data for judging the presence of encrypted key data within the EKB. As such, a considerable reduction in data quantity is realized, and the decrypting process in a device is also simplified.

In a tree-structural key distribution system, renewed data of a master key and medium key are sent along with a key renewal block (KRB). KRB is such that each of devices included as leaves of a tree structure has a leaf key and restricted node key. A specific KRB can be generated for a group identified by a specific node and distributed to the group to restrict a device for which the key can be renewed. Any device not belonging to the group cannot decrypt the key, whereby the security of key distribution can be assured. Especially in a system using a generation-managed master key, a master key renewed with KRB can be distributed.

An information processing apparatus includes a selector for selecting removal information concerning contents to be removed, the removal information prepared on a per content basis for the contents to be removed and including a value uniquely determined from data within a data range of whole or part of a content to be removed, a first range that is the data range, and a second range that is a removal range represented by the position of the first range, a detector for detecting a range at a predetermined position within the whole content, having the same range as the first range contained in the removal information selected by the selector and the same value as the value uniquely determined and contained in the removal information, and a remover for removing a predetermined content based on the second range contained in the removal information selected by the selector if the detector detects the range at the predetermined position.

Apparatus and method for processing information may determine whether a migration condition exists by a source information processing unit executing a program. When a migration condition is determined to exist by the source information processing unit, a destination information processing unit may determine whether an instruction to be executed of the program is a predetermined instruction. The instruction to be executed is converted by an instruction emulator, when a result of a determination by the destination information processing unit is the predetermined instruction.
摘要:
An information reproducing method and an information reproducing device in which the key renewal block (KRB) of the latest version is selectively used to encrypt the content to store the encrypted contents in a recording medium. A plural number of KRBs of different generations and versions are stored in a recording medium. If the latest KRB is detected, it is stored in a memory unit within the recording and/or reproducing device. A plural number of KRBs having plural different generations or versions are stored on the recording medium. With the present method and device, in storing the content in the recording medium, the latest usable one of the KRB in the memory unit of the reproducing device and plural KRBs on the recording medium is detected to acquire an encrypting key, such as a media key, to execute the content encryption. In this manner, the encrypted content based on a KRB of a newer version can at all times be stored on the recording medium.
