PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To effectively revoke imperilled cryptographic keys and to promote anonymity of a user and user equipment. SOLUTION: Protected content distribution is accomplished by a first entity generating a set of asymmetric key pairs, creating and distributing a plurality of sets of private keys. A second entity produces protected content including encrypted content and a public key media key block by encrypting a symmetric content key using each public key in the set of asymmetric key pairs so as to form the public key media key block and by encrypting a content title using the symmetric content key. A playback device stores one set of private keys, receives the protected content, and decrypts and replays the content title stored in the protected content when a selected private key in the set of private keys stored successfully decrypts the encrypted symmetric content key stored in the public key media key block of the received protected content.
