Information processing apparatus, information recording medium, information processing method, and computer program

摘要

A configuration in which use management for each piece of content, which is divided in units, can be performed strictly and efficiently is provided. CPS units such that content stored on an information recording medium is divided into units are set, a unit key is assigned to each CPS unit, and data forming each unit is encrypted and recorded. For reproduction, a unit key is generated, and data processing using the unit key is performed. As information for generating the unit key, copy/play control information (CCI) that is set so as to correspond to the CPS unit and a content hash that is a hash value based on data forming the CPS unit are used. With this configuration, tampering of CCI and data forming the CPS unit can be prevented, and authorized content use can be realized.

主权项

1. An information processing apparatus for performing a process for reproducing content from an information recording medium, the information processing apparatus comprising:
a processor; and a memory device storing instructions, which when executed by the processor, cause the processor to: (a) generate a copy control key using a copy/play control information file which is stored on the information recording medium, the generated copy control key corresponding to each of a plurality of content management units stored on the information recording medium, the copy/play control information file being set to correspond to at least one of the content management units; (b) obtain an encrypted unit key which is stored on the information recording medium; (c) generate a decrypted unit key by, using the generated copy control key, decrypting the encrypted unit key; (d) decrypt, using the decrypted unit key, encrypted content stored on the information recording medium, wherein the encrypted content, the copy/play control information file, and the encrypted unit key are separately set on the information recording medium, and wherein the copy/control information file includes basic copy/play control information and extended copy/play control information including extended content usage information other than the basic copy/play control information.
