  • Patent number: 8538887
    Abstract: In a content delivery system, delivery of content and charging the fee of the content are performed and managed in a highly secure and effective fashion. If a content-purchasing request is transmitted from a user device to a shop server, a charging process is performed. A user device authentication server, which manages content delivery, converts an encrypted content key KpDAS(Kc) encrypted using a public key of the user device authentication server (DAS) into an encrypted content key KpDEV(Kc) encrypted using a public key KpDEV of the user device. If the charging process is successfully completed, the shop server transmits, to the user device, the encrypted content key KpDEV(Kc).

  • Patent number: 7925017
    Abstract: An information recording device uses a data storage device such as media having a built-in flash memory. When data is stored in the data storage device, different encryption keys are used for different sectors. Each encryption key is stored in the header of content. By using a single encryption key for a sector consisting of different blocks, the number of stored encryption keys is limited, and the amount of stored key data is reduced. In accordance with the type of encryption processing, for example, the single DES or the triple DES, one or at least two keys are selected for each sector in order to execute encryption or decryption processing on sector data.

  • Patent number: 7496756
    Abstract: A system in which content usage conditions can be upgraded without the need for a service provider to control content-usage rights of a user. In the system in which encrypted content is distributed and is allowed to be utilized only by authorized users, the service provider receives a content usage-right certificate from the user, and on the condition that it is determined that data is not tampered with by verifying a digital signature of an issuing entity of the content usage-right certificate, the service provider obtains user information and content purchase information of the user from the content usage-right certificate, and performs upgrade processing by, for example, changing the usage conditions. It is thus possible to change the content usage conditions without the need for the service provider to possess usage control data.

  • Patent number: 7328458
    Abstract: An authoring system authors content data for distribution through an information terminal by encryption for copyright protection. The system includes an authoring device and an authoring key generator. The generator generates a content identifier uniquely allocated to each of the content data, an authoring key enabling key uniquely allocated to the authoring device, and an authoring key obtained by encrypting a content key for encrypting the content data and a second content key using the CID and the CEK. The second content key is formed by encrypting the content key using a root key. The authoring device has a unit which decrypts the content key and the second content key using the CID and the CEK, and a unit which encrypts the content data using the decrypted content key to generate authored encrypted content data.

  • Patent number: 7243228
    Abstract: Between a data recording/playback device and a data storage device, CBC-mode encryption processing is executed which encrypts a plurality of encryption keys of content which correspond to sectors. The encrypted data is stored in a header corresponding to the content. The CBC-mode encryption processing is executed by using a storage key unique to media in which the content is stored. For using the content, only by decrypting the key data in media in which mutual authentication is established, the content can be used, so that highly-secure key storage is implemented.

  • Patent number: 7225341
    Abstract: To provide a memory access control system in which partitions, which are divided memory areas generated in a device, can be independently managed. In response to access to the divided memory areas, which are a plurality of partitions, various types of access control tickets are issued under the management of each device or partition manager, and processing based on rules indicated in each ticket is performed in a memory-loaded device. A memory has a partition, which serves as a memory area managed by the partition manager, and a device manager management area managed by the device manager. Accordingly, partition authentication and device authentication can be executed according to either a public-key designation method or a common-key designation method.

  • Patent number: 7124317
    Abstract: An information recording device includes a control unit and a memory interface unit. An ICV for each sector data of data to be stored in units of sectors is stored in the redundant part of each sector. An ECC and an ICV are stored in the redundant part of each sector, so that sector-unit ICV storage can be performed without reducing the storage capacity of the data part of the sector. processing that combines data parts by using the file system of a device can be performed similarly to conventional data combination processing that only combines data parts in which ones purely used as data are stored. The control unit does not have any load because only each sector which is regarded as valid (no interpolation) as a result of ICV checking is transmitted to the control unit, and the ICV checking is performed by the memory interface unit.

  • Publication number: 20060185022
    Abstract: An authoring system which authors content data to be distributed through an information terminal by encryption for copyright protection includes an authoring device and an authoring key generator. The authoring key generator generates a content identifier (CID) uniquely allocated to each of the content data (Content), an authoring key enabling key (CEK) uniquely allocated to the authoring device, and an authoring key (CED) obtained by encrypting a content key (Kc) for encrypting the content data and a second content key (EKc) using the CID and the CEK. The second content key (Ekc) is formed by encrypting the content key (Kc) using a root key (Kroot). The authoring device has a unit which decrypts the content key (Kc) and the second content key (Ekc) using the CID and the CEK, and a unit which encrypts the content data using the decrypted content key (Kc) to generate authored encrypted content data (E (Kc, Content)).

  • Patent number: 6834333
    Abstract: A data processing device includes a memory interface (I/F) unit and a control unit. When accessing a data storage device such as a memory card having a built-in flash memory, the data processing device sets a block permission table (BPT) as an access permission table in the memory I/F unit, whereby only when the BPT permits a process to be executed does the memory I/F unit access the storage device, and the memory I/F unit does not execute a process when it is out of an allowable range. Regardless of a process type performed by the control unit and a command type, the memory I/F unit always accesses the storage device in accordance with the BPT set in the memory I/F unit. This effectively prevents the rewriting of data in rewrite-prevented recording media.

  • Publication number: 20030188117
    Abstract: To provide a data access management system that enables access control management for data files stored in a memory of a device. The system manages data access processing performed by an access unit for a memory-loaded device, and issues a service permission ticket (SPT), which serves as an access control ticket in which an access mode to be accepted for the access unit, such as a reader/writer, is set. The memory-loaded device receives the service permission ticket (SPT) from the access unit, and performs processing according to the access mode indicated in the service permission ticket (SPT). The service permission tickets (SPTs) in which access modes to be accepted for the access units are set are individually issued according to the access units. Accordingly, various modes of access according to the access units can be executed.
