Provided is a method where a power management apparatus (a) acquires, from a server managed by a manufacturer of an electronic appliance, a public key paired with a secret key that the electronic appliance and the server hold, (b) generates a ciphertext by generating a random number and encrypting the random number by the public key, and (c) transmits the ciphertext to the electronic appliance and the server, where the electronic appliance (d) restores the random number by decrypting the ciphertext transmitted in (c), (e) causes an electrical part to operate, based on the random number, and (f) transmits to the server the value of current flowing through the electrical part, and where the server (g) restores the random number by decrypting the ciphertext transmitted in (c), (h) calculates the value of current to flow through the electrical part based on the random number, and (i) compares values of current.

Content data encrypted with a content key, the content key encrypted with an individual key specific to an information sending device, and the individual key encrypted with a distribution key that is updated in a predetermined cycle, and supplied are sent to an information receiving device, and the information receiving device decrypts the individual key with the distribution key, decrypts the content key with the individual key, and decrypts the content data with the content key. Thus, the information sending device does not have the distribution key, and accordingly piracy of content data can be prevented with a simple configuration. Also, the information receiving device sends the content key and a playback command to other apparatuses. Thus, other apparatuses can play back contents using the playback command and the content key. Furthermore, the information sending device decrypts the content key with the distribution key before being updated, and stores the same. Thus, contents purchased by an advance order can be actually purchased regardless of expiration dates of the distribution key. Furthermore, usage right is passed from a first information receiving device to a second information receiving device different in registration information at the tome of using contents. Thus, contents can be used among information receiving devices different from each other in registration information.

There is provided an information processing apparatus according to the invention including a bilinear map selection unit for selecting a bilinear map used for a predetermined operation, a group selection unit for selecting at least two types of groups G1 and G2 used in performing the operation, a determination parameter calculation unit for calculating a determination parameter including at least either one of a computation amount required for the predetermined operation and an information amount for the predetermined operation based on each of the selected at least two types of the groups, and a group decision unit for deciding a group used in performing the operation based on the determination parameter. The group decision unit exchanges contents of the groups G1 and G2 when the computation or information amount for the group G2 is more than that for the group G1.

There is provided an information processing unit enabling reduction of the number of keys to be held by a terminal unit and the amount of calculations necessary for decryption of encrypted data. The information processing unit configures an entire binary tree made up of n-number of leaf nodes, a root node and a plurality of intermediate nodes different from the root node and the leaf nodes and divides the entire tree into a plurality of base subtrees including n1/y number of leaf nodes to form a y-level (y is a divisor of log(n)) hierarchical structure, such that root nodes of the base subtrees at a lower level coincide with leaf nodes of the base subtree at an upper level. Further, it assigns subsets of the terminal units to nodes of the respective base subtrees and generates directed graphs where directed edges connecting coordinate points on a coordinate axis are set.

A terminal device improved with a digraph generation method in a key distribution method of various types of broadcast encryption systems is provided. The terminal device includes an acquiring unit for acquiring information related to a set, which is selected from a plurality of sets representing a combination of a plurality of terminal devices, and which represents some or all of the plurality of terminal devices; an extracting unit for extracting the set contained in the information and to which it belongs; and a digraph generation unit for generating a directional branch for generating a key corresponding to the extracted set in a predetermined digraph formed by a plurality of directional branches.

A recording or reproduction apparatus is provided which utilizes copyright information in operations to record content data onto a recording medium or reproduce content data from the recording medium. Copyright information for the contents includes information identifying an input source of the content data. The information identifying an input source is stored in the recording medium along with the content data. When the contents are reproduced from the recording medium, the input source information is acquired and used as a basis for determining whether the contents can be reproduced and output. Thus, it is possible to impose an output restriction on an operation to reproduce the contents in accordance with the input source.

A data processing system, recording device, data processing method and program providing medium are provided to execute authentication processing and content storing processing between apparatuses. Program localization is employed to restrict access to program content. A plurality of key blocks store key data for authentication processing. Key block designation information is set in a recorder/reproducer, which is configured for executing authentication processing with the recording device by designating a key block. The recorder/reproducer can set a key block for each product, model or the like. In addition, data stored according to a selected key block cannot be utilized in a recorder/reproducer in which a different key block is set. Furthermore, an encryption processing controlling section of a recording device executes control in accordance with a pre-defined setting sequence. Furthermore, an illegal instrument that has not completed the authentication processing can be prevented from utilizing program content.

A security module is provided in a data recording medium, data to be written to the data recording medium is encrypted with an content key different from one data to another, and the content key is safely stored in the security module. Also, the security module makes a mutual authentication using the public-key encryption technology with a drive unit to check that the counterpart is an authorized (licensed) unit, and then gives the content key to the counterpart, thereby preventing data from being leaked to any illegal (unlicensed) unit. Thus, it is possible to prevent copyrighted data such as movie, music, etc. from being copied illegally (against the wish of the copyrighter of the data).

An information processing system and method are disclosed in which information processing is performed using an enabling key block (EKB) in association with a tree structure including category subtrees. A key tree is produced, which include subtrees that are grouped in accordance with categories and are managed by category entities. The EKB includes data produced by selecting a path in the key tree and encrypting a higher-level key in the selected path using a lower-level key in the selected path. The EKB is then provided to a device. A requester, which requests production of the EKB, may produce a root key or may request a key distribution center (KDC) to produce a root key. If the (KDC) produces the EKB, it may also request a category entity to produce a sub-EKB.
