    Abstract: An information processing system and method are disclosed in which information processing is performed in a highly efficient manner using an enabling key block (EKB) on the basis of a tree structure including category subtrees. A key tree is produced so as to include a plurality of subtrees that are grouped in accordance with categories and managed by category entities. An EKB is produced so as to include data produced by selecting a path in the key tree and encrypting an upper-level key in the selected path using a lower-level key in the selected path, and the resultant EKB is provided to a device. If a change occurs in state of a category tree capable of processing an EKB identified in the EKB type definition list, a notification of the change in state is sent to an entity that uses the EKB thereby making it possible for an EKB requester to perform processing in accordance with a newest EKB.

    Abstract: The enabling key block (EKB) used in an encrypted key distributing constitution of a tree structure is generated by reconstructing a simplified 2-branch or multi-branch type tree with a terminal node or leaf which can decrypt as the lowest stage, and on the basis of only the key corresponding to a node or a leaf of the reconstructed hierarchical tree. Further, a tag as discrimination data at a tree position of an encrypted key stored in EKB is stored. The tag not only discriminates a position but stores data for judging presence of encrypted key data.within EKB. A considerable reduction in data quantity is realized, and decrypting process, in a device is also simplified. Thus, an information processing system and method capable of reducing data quantity of an enabling key block (EKB) used in an encrypted key constitution of a tree structure is realized.

    Abstract: Data to be transmitted via a serial bus (5) in conformity with the IEEE 1394 protocol are ciphered by a ciphering/deciphering circuit (24), and headers are attached thereto by a header sync detecting/generating circuit (23). After further attachment of a CRC code by a CRC detector/generator (33), the data are packetized into isochronous packets of an isochronous mode by a transmission/reception switching circuit (21), whereby transmission of the data can be performed with enhanced security. Out of the cipher keys employed, a session key invariable in each session of the data is transmitted in each packet of an asynchronous mode, and a time variable key updated in each session is transmitted in each packet of an isochronous mode. The ciphered data obtained by depacketizing the packets of the isochronous mode are deciphered, so that the data transmitted with security can be deciphered exactly, and thus illegal use of the data can be prevented.

    Abstract: An information processing system and method are disclosed in which information processing is performed in a highly efficient manner using an enabling key block (EKB) on the basis of a tree structure including category subtrees. A key tree is formed so as to include a plurality of subtrees serving as category trees categorized in accordance with categories and managed by category entities. An EKB including data produced by selecting a path in a tree and encrypting a higher-level key in the selected path using a lower-level key in the selected path. The resultant EKB is provided to a device. Distribution of EKB's is managed on the basis of an EKB type definition list representing the correspondence between an EKB type identifier and one or more identification data identifying one or more category trees that can process an EKB of an EKB type specified by the EKB type identifier.

    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 block key to encrypt block data is generated using an ATS (arrival time stamp) appended to each of TS (transport stream) packets included in a transport stream correspondingly to the arrival time of the TS packet. The ATS is a random data depending upon an arrival time, and so a block-unique key can be generated, which enhances the protection against data cryptanalysis. A block key is generated from a combination of an ATS with a key unique to a device, recording medium or the like such as a master key, disc-unique key, title-unique key or the like. Since an ATS is used to generate a block key, any area for storage of an encryption key for each block may not be provided in a recording medium.
