Abstract

Digital sound data is encrypted and recorded in a recording medium 200 . Information 212 required for decoding the encrypted digital sound data 220 is recorded in a program 211 for controlling the reproduction of sound data separately from the digital sound data 220 . This can prevent PCM sound data recorded in the recording medium as a part of a content, from being reproduced separately from the content.

Claims (17)

1. A recording medium readable by an information processor, having at least digital sound data and a program for controlling the reproduction of the digital sound data separately recorded therein, wherein:

2. A recording medium readable by an information processor, comprising:

an area where encrypted digital sound data is recorded; and

an area where a program for controlling operation of the information processor is recorded; wherein

a decrypting method and key information for decrypting the encrypted digital sound data are recorded in the program for controlling the reproduction of the digital sound data.

3. A recording medium readable by an information processor, comprising:

an area where encrypted digital sound data is recorded; and

an area where a program for controlling operation of the information processor is recorded;

wherein a decrypting method and key information for decrypting the encrypted digital sound data are recorded in the program for controlling the reproduction of the digital sound data; and
