摘要:
An information processing system and method are disclosed in which information processing is performed in a highly efficient manner using an enabling key block (EKB) on the basis of a tree structure including category subtrees. A key tree is produced so as to include a plurality of subtrees that are grouped in accordance with categories and managed by category entities. An EKB is produced so as to include data produced by selecting a path in the key tree and encrypting an upper-level key in the selected path using a lower-level key in the selected path. The resultant EKB is provided to a device. If a change occurs in state of a category tree capable of processing an EKB identified in the EKB type definition list, a notification of the change in state is sent to an entity that uses the EKB thereby making it possible for an EKB requester to perform processing in accordance with a newest EKB.

The invention provides an enciphering apparatus and method, a deciphering apparatus and method and an information processing apparatus and method by which illegal copying can be prevented with certainty. Data enciphered by a 1394 interface of a DVD player is transmitted to a personal computer and a magneto-optical disk apparatus through a 1394 bus. In the magneto-optical disk apparatus with which a change to a function is open to a user, the received data is deciphered by a 1394 interface. In contrast, in the personal computer with which a change to a function is open to a user, the enciphered data is deciphered using a time variable key by a 1394 interface, and a result of the decipherment is further deciphered using a session key by an application section.
摘要:
An information processor receives at a communication section thereof an encrypted content decryption key generated by encrypting, by a distribution encryption key, a content decryption key for decryption of a content encrypted by a content encryption key. The received encrypted content decryption key is sent to a content key decryption section where it is decrypted. The decrypted content decryption key and copy control code are sent to a content key encryption section where they are encrypted by an encryption key which can be decrypted at an external information processor, namely, a session key, to send an encrypted content decryption key with a copy control code to the external information processor via a communication section.
摘要:
An optical disc recorder/reproducer, a personal computer, a television receiver, an IRD and so forth are connected mutually via a 1394 serial bus. When data transmitted from the personal computer to the optical disc recorder/reproducer via the 1394 serial bus are to be recorded, an isochronous packet is sent to the recorder/reproducer inclusive of the data to indicate whether the personal computer is a device capable of cognizing copy control information. And depending on whether the source of the transmitted data is a copy control information cognizant device or not, the optical disc recorder/reproducer updates the copy control information with reference to a selected table, and then the updated copy control information is recorded on the optical disc. This system can distinguish between a prerecorded disc and a user-recorded disc, hence achieving exact management of copy control information.

摘要:
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).
摘要:
An information recording/playback device stores beforehand, on a recording medium, secret information in which a writing/reading method thereof cannot be analyzed and which can be read only by a special reading method. The secret information is applied to a key for content encryption or decryption when performing recording or playback of contents on the recording medium, such as music data and image data. The secret information is, for example, a stamper ID. By using the stamper ID as secret information, and a master key and a media key which are distributed in a tree-structure key-distribution system, a content-cryptosystem key is generated. Accordingly, each content is allowed to be used in only an appropriate device in which the special reading method for the secret information can be executed and to which the key is distributed by the tree-structure key-distribution system.

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.
摘要:
A system and method are realized which enables valid use of content by preventing unauthorized use of content which is caused by rewriting rights data. A structure is employed in which rights data including use-restriction information on content and DRM data including an encrypted content key are recorded in a digital data recording medium (media), and in which an integrity check value (ICV) for the DRM data can be stored in a recordable/playable area (protected area) by using only a dedicated IC. EKB distribution is used to execute the tree-structure key distribution to distribute keys for generating ICV-generation verifying keys. In this structure, unauthorized use of content by rewriting of the rights data is prevented.
