Abstract: A primary-side data trading apparatus is capable of accessing a blockchain and includes a processing unit, a processing information generation unit, a history recording unit, an issuance unit, a protection unit, and a primary-side trading unit. The processing unit generates processed data from original data. The processing information generation unit generates a first transaction including processing information. The history recording unit records the first TX in the BC. The issuance unit issues a processing certificate including the processing information. The protection unit applies protection to the processed data. Upon an unsealing operation, the protected processed data requires an operator to perform collation processing between processing information of the processing certificate and processing information recorded in the BC. The primary-side trading unit provides a secondary-side data trading apparatus with the protected processed data and processing certificate.
