A communication system and accounting apparatus are provided capable of easy management of accounting a use of information by a user in multi-media networks while protecting privacy of the user. As a user input money information to an PPC input unit of a user terminal, the money information including cash, a pre-paid card, an IC card, and the like, a discrimination unit judges a use permission of provided information in accordance with the money amount indicated by the money information and/or charge information added to the information provided by an information provider. In response to a user permission signal, a signal processing unit processes the provided information and supplies it to the user.

Respective processes of decoding in error correction are subjected to parallel processing using a plurality of processing elements (PEs) each having the same configuration. At any given time, when processing of one process has been terminated, processing proceeds to a PE having the highest priority among PEs waiting for processing. The PE which has received data recognizes and executes the next process for that data.

A verification information generation system includes first and second data processing apparatuses. The first data processing apparatus has a unit holding first secret information, a unit receiving information associated with the second secret information from the second apparatus, a unit generating key information on the basis of the first secret information and the information associated with the second secret information, a unit generating key derivation auxiliary information allowing the key information to be derived from the second secret information, a unit generating verification information on the basis of information to be verified and the key information, and a unit outputting the information to be verified, the verification information, and the key derivation auxiliary information. The second secret information is information which is set in advance in the second data processing apparatus.

摘要:
The secret data is acquired externally by making an arithmetic operation between unique information of an apparatus and the first information managed secretly, and secretly held as key data in a key holding part. A MAC generation part generates the authentication data based on a hash value obtained from the data to be protected and the key data held in the key holding part 21. An image file generation part generates an image file to provide the unique information and the authentication data together with the data to be protected.

An object of the present invention is to assuredly provide image data with the position of a region of interest in an image represented by the image data. In order to achieve this object, position information for specifying a region of interest within the image is embedded so as not to be recognized by human eyes, using a digital-watermark technique.
摘要:
A provider side apparatus provides original digital data together with a digital signature generated by the provider side apparatus, the digital signature detecting whether the original digital data was falsified or detecting a change level given to the original digital data. Upon reception of the digital data, a receiver side apparatus can know the originality of the received digital data or a change level of the received digital data from the original digital data, in accordance with the digital signature corresponding to the digital data.

摘要:
An increasing number of people are employing a variety of methods of editing and processing digital content in an effort to illegally copy the content. It is difficult to develop digital watermark technology that is able to withstand all types of editing and processing. The present invention addresses the foregoing problems by providing a digital content processing method comprising performing a plurality of copyright protection processes on digital content, each copyright protection process differing in difficulty of being analyzing, and distributing the processed digital content.
