    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.

    Abstract: An information processing system and method using an encryption key block se ts sub- trees classified based on data processing ability of the devices (capability ) in a key tree in which respective keys are corresponded to a root, nodes and leaves of a tree in which a plurality of devices are constituted as the leaves, generates a sub-enabli ng key block which is effective for an entity in a managing subject of each sub-tree (entity), and generates an enabling key block decodable only by the entities having common capability. Also, an information processing system and method using an encryption key block manages a partial tree of a key tree (sub-tree), generates a sub- enabling key block based only on a key set corresponding to nodes or leaves included in the sub - tree, and generates an enabling key block decodable only by selected entities by using the sub- enabling key block. Thus, it is possible to generate and distribute an enabling key block corresponding to data processing ability of a device and to manage devices b y dividing a hierarchical key tree structure.

    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, and 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 issuing center creates a make-effective key block decodable only by an entity having common capability according to the capability information on the entity. Each 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 the data processing capability of a device and distributed, and the key tree hierarchical structure can be dividedly managed.
