Patent number: 8077867Abstract: The present invention relates to a confidential information processing device, a confidential information processing apparatus, and a confidential information processing method, and particularly to a confidential information processing device which performs multiple cryptographic computation for different target data included in a data stream. With this configuration, the context control unit outputs the stream on which the cryptographic computation is performed to an external device or other stream analysis unit. Thus, by setting the number of cryptographic computation on a correspondence table, the number of computation can be set to any number. Thus, the confidential information processing device according to the present invention can perform any number of cryptographic computations on one stream. Furthermore, without outputting the stream whenever a cryptographic computation is completed, multiple cryptographic computations can be performed with one stream input.Type: GrantFiled: January 8, 2008Date of Patent: December 13, 2011Assignee: Panasonic CorporationInventors: Yusuke Nemoto, Yuishi Torisaki, Makoto Fujiwara, Satoru Kuriki, Masahiro Sano

Publication number: 20110170687Abstract: The content decrypting apparatus 2000 of the present invention stores a chaining value generated during decryption of the last ciphertext block of a chunk in association with a content type and a frame number to an inter-chunk chaining value holding unit 216. When decrypting the first ciphertext block of a chunk, and in case where a chaining value is stored to the inter-chunk chaining value holding unit 216 in association with a content type and a frame number corresponding to the chunk, the content decrypting apparatus decrypts the first ciphertext block of the chunk using the chaining value. Hence, the content decrypting apparatus pertaining to the present invention is capable of correctly decrypting data streams having a data structure in which ciphertext chunks belonging to a first encrypted frame are disposed in between two ciphertext chunks belonging to a second encrypted frame.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 12, 2009Publication date: July 14, 2011Inventors: Masahiko Hyodo, Tooru Iwata, Satoru Kuriki, Masahiro Sano
