Abstract:
A signal reproducing apparatus, in which unauthorized decoding or copying is rendered difficult, reproduces enciphered data from a disk-shaped record medium (101) on which are recorded data enciphered by at least one encryption operation and key storage site information specifying an arraying site for at least one key information item used for deciphering the enciphered data. The apparatus includes a reproducing head device (212) for reading the enciphered data and the key storage site information from the record medium (101), a TOC decoder (219), a CPU (224) and a digital signal processing circuit (220) for decoding the enciphered data using the key information stored on the site designated in accordance with the key storage site information.
Abstract:
An information recording/reproducing device for executing a key distribution by a KRB distribution involving a tree-structure key distribution configuration. The device transmits, by using a key-structure key distribution configuration, a key such as a master key, a media key or a content key along with a key update block (KRB). The recording/reproducing device, after calculating and acquiring the key of a certain recording medium based on a reception KRB, encrypts the acquired key using an encryption key specific to the device, for example, a leaf key, and stores it in a recording medium or memory of the device. Therefore, the recording/reproducing device can calculate a key by merely decoding the encrypting key one time when next using the recording medium or contents, and can reduce computational complexity such as KRB decoding required when the device accesses a recording medium or uses contents, thereby making efficient processing on the KRB receiving side.
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:
Update of a master key and a media key is transmitted along with a key updat e block (KRB) through a key distribution system of tree structure. The KRB has a structure where devices constituting leaves of the tree have a leaf key and a limited node key and creates and distributes a specific key update block (KR B) to a group specified by a specific node, thereby limiting updateable devices . Any device not belonging to the group cannot decode the data, thus ensuring the safety of key distribution. Especially, in a system using a master key under generation control, an update master key is distributed by a KRB.
Abstract:
An enciphering/deciphering apparatus and method are provided by which illegal copying can be prevented with a greater degree of certainty. Data enciphered by a 1394 interface (26) of a DVD player (1) is transmitted to a personal computer (2) and a magneto-optical disk apparatus (3) through a 1394 bus (11). In the magneto-optical disk apparatus (3) with which a change to a function is not open to a user, the received data is deciphered by a 1394 interface (36). In contrast, in the personal computer (2) with which a change to a function is open to a user, the enciphered data is deciphered using a time variable key (50) by a 1394 interface (49), and a result of the decipherment is further deciphered using a session key by an application section.
