摘要:
A personal computer 50 holds encrypted contents data and a license acquired from a distribution server (10) over an Internet network (30) or from a music CD (60) using a CD-ROM drive. The personal computer (50), which is connected to a portable reproduction terminal (100) through a USB cable (70), performs a checkout operation for lending out, the encrypted contents data and the license to a memory card (110) attached to the portable reproduction terminal (100), and a checkin operation for returning the lent encrypted contents data and the lent license. As a result, it is possible to shift the encrypted contents data and the license acquired by software to the other device.
摘要:
A hard disk (530) of a personal computer has a content list file (150) and an encrypted private file (162). A license administration device (520) stores a binding key Kb in a license region (5215B) of a memory. The encrypted private file (162) can be decrypted and encrypted with the binding key Kb stored in the license administration device (520). The license of the obtained and encrypted content data is stored as private information in the encrypted private file (162). Consequently, the encrypted content data and the license distributed by software can be shifted to another data terminal device.
