Abstract

A method and system for recording data including content in a recording medium on a computer apparatus. First encrypted data, obtained by encrypting the data using a medium key created for each recording medium, is recorded in a recording medium. Second encrypted data, obtained by encrypting the medium key using a public key, is recorded in the recording medium. A private key corresponding to the public key is not recorded in the recording medium.

Claims (8)

1. A method for using data including content recorded in a recording medium on a computer apparatus, wherein the data includes a common key and encrypted content information obtained by encrypting information on the content using the common key, and wherein the recording medium holds first encrypted data obtained by encrypting the data using a medium key created in advance for each recording medium and second encrypted data obtained by encrypting the medium key using a public key, the method comprising:

obtaining, using a medium-key acquisition section in the computer apparatus, the medium key from the recording medium by decrypting the second encrypted data using a private key corresponding to the public key, wherein the private key is transferred separately from the recording medium;

obtaining, using a first data acquisition section in the computer apparatus, the data from the recording medium by decrypting the first encrypted data using the obtained medium key;

deriving, using a key deriving section in the computer apparatus, a medium-binding key from medium-attribute information on the recording medium, wherein the medium-attribute information includes a serial number for uniquely identifying the recording medium;

obtaining, using a second data acquisition section in the computer apparatus, a protected area key by using the medium-binding key and the medium key;

obtaining, using a third data acquisition section in the computer apparatus, the common key by decrypting a medium-bound package key using the protected area key;

obtaining, using the third data acquisition section in the computer apparatus, encrypted content information by decrypting a medium-bound package using the medium key; and

obtaining, using an information acquisition section in the computer apparatus, the information on the content by decrypting the encrypted-content information using the common key.
