    Abstract: An information reproducing method and an information reproducing device in which the key renewal block (KRB) of the latest verison is selectively used to encrypt the content to store the encrypted contents in a recording medium. A plural num er of KRBs of different generations and versions are stored in a recording medium. If the latest KRB is detected, it is stored in a memory unit within the recording and/or reproducing device. A plural number of KRBs having plural different generations or versions are stored on the recording medium. With the present method and device, in storing the content in the recording medium, the latest usable one of the KRB in the memory unit of the reproducing device and plural KRBs on the recording medium is detected to acquire an encrypting key, such as a media key, to execute the content encryption. In this manner, the encrypted content based on a KRB of a newer version can at all times be stored on the recording medium.

    Abstract: A content key, an authentication key, and a program data etc. are transmitted with an enabling key block (EKB) in an encrypted key constitution of a tree structure. The EKB has a constitution in which a device as a leaf of the tree holds a leaf key and a limited node key, and a specific enabling key block (EKB) is generated and distributed to a group specified by a specific node to limit devices that can be renewed. As the devices that do not belong to the group cannot perform decryption, the security for distributing keys etc. can be secured. Thus, distribution of various kinds of keys or data is executed in an encryption key constitution of a tree structure to realize an information processing system and method enabling to distribute data efficiently and safely.

    Abstract: A data transmitting apparatus, which disallows encryption to be easily decoded and enhances the secrecy of key information, includes an error correction coding process block (13). In the block (13), an input converting circuit (14) performs a logic operation with respect to information data from an interface circuit (12) according to key data. The converted information data is sent to an encoder (15) for generating parity data. The parity data is mixed (16) with the information data before conversion. The error correction coding block (13) sends the resulting data to a modulating circuit (17) for modulating the data. The modulated data is recorded on a disk record medium (20).

    Abstract: A signal recording/reproducing method and apparatus, a signal record medium, and a signal transmission/reception method and apparatus enable a signal recorded on a signal record medium to be identified as being an original signal or a copied signal. A CPU (11) generates, at a pre-set time interval, an identification signal having a meaning at a pre-set time interval, and an identification signal addition circuit (3) adds the identification signal to video signals and/or audio signals. A sector forming circuit (5) and circuit components up to a recording/reproducing head (14) record the video signals and/or the audio signals and the ancillary identification signal on an optical disc (12).

    Abstract: Sub-trees separated according to the data processing capability of a device are defined in a key tree in which keys are assigned to the roots, nodes, an d leaves which are devices of a tree. A management entity of each sub-tree creates a sub make-effective key block effective in the entity. A key issuin g center creates a make-effective key block decodable only by an entity having common capability according to the capability information on the entity. Eac h entity manages the partia trees (sub-trees) of the key tree, creates a sub make-effective key block according to only the nodes of the sub-trees or the keys corresponding to the leaves, and creates a make-effective key block decodable only by the selected entity by using the sub make-effective key block. Thus, a make-effective key block can be created in accordance with th e data processing capability of a device and distributed, and the key tree hierarchical structure can be dividedly managed.
