Patent number: 9037867Abstract: A configuration for achieving efficient content verification processing based on hash values is provided. Hash values of hash units set as segmented data of a content stored on an information storage medium are recorded in a content hash table and are stored on the information storage medium together with the content. An information processing apparatus for executing content playback executes hash-value comparison processing based on one or more randomly selected hash values. Regardless of the data amount of content, the configuration can perform hash-value determination and comparison processing based on hash units having a small amount of data, so that user equipment for executing content playback can perform efficient content verification.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2013Date of Patent: May 19, 2015Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Kenjiro Ueda, Tateo Oishi, Yoshitomo Osawa, Katsumi Muramatsu, Motoki Kato, Yoshikazu Takashima

Patent number: 8929540Abstract: To provide a configuration in which a unit classification number corresponding to a content playback path is set based on various units. A unit classification number defining a playback path of content including encrypted data having different variations generated by encrypting a segment portion which forms the content by using a plurality of segment keys and encrypted content generated by encrypting a non-segment portion by a unit key is set based on various units, such as a content management unit and an index. In a CPS unit key file storing key generating information concerning CPS units as content management units, settings of unit classification numbers are indicated. Based on the CPS unit key file, a unit classification number to which content to be played back belongs can be obtained.Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 2006Date of Patent: January 6, 2015Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Yoshikazu Takashima, Tateo Oishi, Katsumi Muramatsu, Kenjiro Ueda, Motoki Kato

Patent number: 8868904Abstract: A configuration is provided wherein usage restrictions of an application are determined in accordance with timestamps. A certificate revocation list (CRL) in which the revocation information of a content owner who is a providing entity of an application program recorded in a disc is recorded is referred to verify whether or not a content owner identifier recorded in an application certificate is included in the CRL, and in the case that the content owner identifier is included in the CRL, comparison between a timestamp stored in a content certificate and a CRL timestamp is executed, and in the case that the content certificate timestamp has date data equal to or later than the CRL timestamp, utilization processing of the application program is prohibited or restricted. According to the present configuration, a configuration is realized wherein an unrevoked application is not subjected to utilization restriction, and only a revoked application is subjected to utilization restriction.Type: GrantFiled: January 20, 2009Date of Patent: October 21, 2014Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Kenjiro Ueda, Tateo Oishi, Katsumi Muramatsu, Motoki Kato, Yoshiyuki Kobayashi

Publication number: 20140237235Abstract: Content usage control is realized on condition of the establishment of user authentication without having to communicate with a server or the like. An information storage device such as a memory card stores an encrypted content, a converted title key obtained by converting a title key which is an encryption key, and a user token obtained by converting binding secret information to be applied to calculate the title key from the converted title key. A reproducing device that decrypts and reproduces the encrypted content acquires the converted title key and the user token, and generates an authentication key on the basis of user identification information such as a user ID.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 26, 2013Publication date: August 21, 2014Applicant: SONY CORPORATIONInventors: Hiroshi Kuno, Yoshiyuki Kobayashi, Takamichi Hayashi, Katsumi Muramatsu

Publication number: 20140177904Abstract: A GUID as title information and a global serial number are recorded in a BCA of a digital video disc. A hash value of the GUID is embedded as an electronic watermark in a data area. When content data is reproduced from the digital video disc, a match of information of the two GUIDs is checked so as to prevent the digital video disc from being illegally copied. A lead-in area and a managing organization provide disc revocation lists. With a global serial number and a disc revocation list, content data can be prevented from being reproduced from an illegally distributed disc. A film WM detector detects data embedded in a movie shown in a theater so as to prevent content data from being reproduced from a disc on which the embedded data is recorded. Thus, content data can be prevented from being reproduced from an illegally distributed disc before a copyright supervisor of the content authorizes the disc to be distributed.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 27, 2014Publication date: June 26, 2014Applicants: Sony Pictures Entertainment, SONY CORPORATIONInventors: Satoshi KITANI, Don Charles EKLUND, Hideo SATO, Jun YONEMITSU, Katsumi MURAMATSU

Patent number: 8510852Abstract: To provide an apparatus, a recording medium and a method for effectively preventing unauthorized use of a content. A content containing broken data different from correct content member data is recorded on an information recording medium. Furthermore, transform data, as the correct member data, to be substituted for the broken data, and a fix-up table storing setting position information of the content are recorded on the information recording medium. During the content playback process, the transform data is substituted for the content member data in accordance with the fix-up table recorded on the information recording medium. With this arrangement, even if the encryption key corresponding to the encrypted content recorded on the information recording medium is leaked, an apparatus unable to acquire the transform data cannot play back the content. Unauthorized use of the content is thus controlled.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2011Date of Patent: August 13, 2013Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Yoshikazu Takashima, Kenjiro Ueda, Tateo Oishi, Katsumi Muramatsu, Jun Yonemitsu

Patent number: 8474049Abstract: A virtual machine can be implemented by anyone because the interface and other information necessary for implementation are publicly available. Hence, if virtual machine is implemented maliciously, a program operating thereon can be made to operate maliciously instead of operating legitimately. By comparing secret information held in memory and specific to the virtual machine with verification information which a program holds itself, the program verifies that the virtual machine on which it is running has been legitimately implemented and excludes illegitimate virtual machines.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2006Date of Patent: June 25, 2013Assignees: Panasonic Corporation, Sony CorporationInventors: Senichi Onoda, Masaya Yamamoto, Toshihisa Nakano, Kaoru Murase, Masayuki Kozuka, Takashi Yamanishi, Yoshitomo Osawa, Tateo Oishi, Jun Yonemitsu, Katsumi Muramatsu
