A set of users is divided into subsets, and a decipher key is generated for each subgroup by using different key generation polynomials. A session key, that is, a decipher key for ciphered data is distributed so as to be deciphered with the decipher key of each user. Decipher keys of an arbitrary number of users can be revoked. On confiscating a pirate deciphering unit, the black-box tracing is performed by assuming users subject to revocation to be suspects. The tracer assumes the suspects, and investigates the suspects n times (n being the total number of users), so that all pirates in a coalition can be identified.
