Abstract: A program execution device capable of protecting a program against unauthorized analysis and alteration is provided. The program execution device includes an execution unit, a first protection unit, and a second protection unit. The execution unit executes a first program and a second program, and is connected with an external device that is capable of controlling the execution.

Abstract: A program generation apparatus generates an obfuscated program difficult to analyze from outside and a program execution apparatus executes the program. The program generation apparatus includes an acquisition unit that acquires a 1st program including one or more instructions, the 1st program causing a process by executing the instructions in a predetermined order to obtain a result; a generation unit that generates a 2nd program based on the 1st program; and an output unit that outputs the 2nd program. The 2nd program causes a process that is different from the process caused by the 1st program and varies according to current information determined at execution of the 2nd program in order to obtain a result identical to the result of the 1st program.

Abstract: An encrypted-data decrypting apparatus that provides enhanced security protection for programs and data while they are in the processes of decryption to execution after having been encrypted. When a decrypted partial program needs to be loaded into the shared memory M, the controlling unit 11 loads it into an area indicated by the memory location information. According to the memory location information, a plurality of partial programs are sequentially loaded into an area so that one partial program gets overwritten by another; therefore, none of the partial programs exists in the memory for a long time, and thus there is less possibility of having the partial programs referred to illegitimately. In addition, since every time some data is decrypted, the decryption support program authenticating unit 13 confirms authenticity of the decryption support program P, it is possible to prevent having illegitimate references in which the decryption support program is abused.

Abstract: The present invention comprises a program generation apparatus for generating an obfuscated program difficult to analyze from outside and a program execution apparatus for executing the program. The program generation apparatus comprises: an acquisition unit operable to acquire a 1st program including one or more instructions, the 1st program causing a process by executing the instructions in a predetermined order to obtain a result; a generation unit operable to generate a 2nd program based on the 1st program; and an output unit operable to output the 2nd program. Here, the 2nd program causes a process that is different from the process caused by the 1st program and varies according to current information determined at execution of the 2nd program in order to obtain a result identical to the result of the 1st program.

Abstract: A program storage unit 111 stores a plurality of protected programs. The disabled-program list storage unit 117 stores information of disabled protected programs. An execution program selection unit 112 selects one of the protected programs that is not disabled, with reference a disabled-program list. If malicious analysis is detected before the protected program is executed or during the execution of the protected program, a malicious analysis detection unit 116 stops the execution of the protected program, and a disabled-program update unit 118 enters the disabled program into the disabled-program list.

Abstract: An internal data storage unit stores distributed music data. A copyright management table stores a process right to each music data item. The process right includes a playback right and a right to copy the data to an external storage medium. A control unit refers to the stored process right to determine whether an inputted instruction can be executed. If determining that the instruction can be executed, the control unit supplies a control signal to a playback unit or another relevant process unit. A display unit displays the stored process right based on an operation mode set in a mode storage unit. The playback and copy rights to the data are displayed with icons. If an icon indicating a copyright in use is selected, information is displayed about the external medium to which the data was copied. If the inputted instruction cannot be executed, a warning screen is displayed.
