ENCRYPTION APPARATUS, DECRYPTION APPARATUS, LICENSING APPARATUS AND CONTENT DATA GENERATION METHOD

摘要

In order to provide various service types to the users in a case of supplying the contents constituted from multiple resources via broadcast, the following apparatuses are provided. An encryption apparatus (100) encrypts the resources-to-be-encrypted of the contents, stores the encrypted resources in the packets and transmits the packets via broadcast. An encryption portion which encrypts each of contents constituted from multiple resources by applying a corresponding encryption key and generates and transmits packets that store encrypted data or non-encrypted data of the resources. A licensing apparatus (2) providing a license via communication network while the license includes both a license identifier which indicates a broadcast range in which the license is effective and the decryption key provided in correspondence with each of resources-to-be-encrypted. A decryption apparatus (300), by using the corresponding decryption key included in the license received via communications lines, decrypts the encrypted data of the packets received via broadcast.
