摘要:
A recording medium stores contents and contents keys to be used for encrypting the contents, in a plurality of storage formats. The storage formats include a storage format (a first format) for delivered contents acquired through a network, and a storage format (a second format) for local contents acquired by a method other than the delivery. The intrinsic storage formats of the contents to be stored in the recording medium are determined according to the kinds of the contents. The recording medium stores not only the contents and the contents keys but also original storage format information (an import flag) (851) which is information indicating the intrinsic storage formats of the contents. With reference to the original storage format information, a reproduction device selects a reproduction method in accordance with the intrinsic storage formats of the contents.

In a target apparatus which stores at least one piece of domain key information in a first area and a plurality of pieces of content key information each associated with any one of the domain key information in a second area, a method for generating data for detecting tampering of the content key information. The method comprises the steps of encrypting the content key information associated with one of the domain key information using a chain encryption technique, extracting data at predetermined positions in the encrypted content key information, concatenating the pieces of data extracted at the predetermined positions in the encrypted content key information to obtain concatenated data, performing a hash calculation with respect to the concatenated data to obtain a hash value, storing check values corresponding to the data at the predetermined positions in plain text, in the target apparatus, and storing the hash value in the target apparatus.

A semiconductor recording medium stores attribute management information for managing various attribute information on a content (genre, composer, artist, album, title, etc.) for each item; and sort management information managing information on a sort order when information managed by the attribute management information is sorted by a predetermined procedure. The attribute management information contains character data indicating items to be managed and pointer information indicating link relationship between the attribute management information. The sort management information contains information on the sort order when all the entries in each of attribute management information are sorted by a predetermined procedure for each of attribute management information.

Provided is a method for performing high-speed search for a content key associated with encrypted content in the case of a key-separation-type content management method where content keys and their respective pieces of encrypted content are correlated by ID information and stored in different recording media. An external recording medium is used to store a plurality of content files that contain: their respective pieces of encrypted content that are encrypted with different encryption keys; and their respective content IDs, each being associated with a corresponding piece of the encryption content, and a semiconductor recording medium is used to store a list that contains: pieces of encryption key storage location information, each indicating where a corresponding one of the encryption keys is stored; and the content IDs, the list being sorted in accordance with the content IDs. When encrypted content is played back, the list is searched to find encryption key storage location information associated with a content ID that matches the content ID of the encrypted content, and the encryption key is read based on the encryption key storage location information.

A recording medium (100) for storing content that can be read and written by a host device stores a content key (a key that is used for encrypting content) (805a) encrypted in a first format, and a content key (805b) that is encrypted in a second format for content that is the same as the content related to the content key (805a) encrypted in the first format. The first format is, for example, a format used for distributed content, and the second format is a format used with local content.

摘要:
A semiconductor memory card (101) has a plurality of areas (105, 106) based on different file systems. An adapter (102) includes: an area switching part (110) which a user can operates, a determination part (109) for determining the operation; and a card controller (108) for issuing a switching command for switching the area to be used for the semiconductor memory card (101) in accordance with the judgment result. When the switching command is issued in response to input from the area switching part (110), the command is interpreted by an area selector (107) of the semiconductor memory card (101) so as to select an area.
摘要:
An information recording medium includes a data storage section having a plurality of recording regions for storing data, and a region information storing section operable to store information about each recording region in the data storage section. The region information storing section stores information about a recording region (for example, a recording region has been accessed finally) which is set first as an accessible region when the information recording medium is initialized at the next time among a plurality of recording regions in the data storage section. A data processing apparatus refers to the information about the recording region and changes over a recording region to the recording region specified by the information about the recording region just after initialization of the recording medium.
