PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a mechanism for enabling a distributor to insert the information specifying a user into a program and for preventing unauthorized leakage or tampering of the program by the distributor. SOLUTION: A program body is provided with a dummy module into which a watermark can be inserted without any effect on the operation of the program body, and an digital signature. It is thereby possible for the distributor to insert a watermark for specifying the user to the dummy module, and to prevent unauthorized leakage of the program by the distributor. Further, by providing the program body with the digital signature, it is possible to prevent the tampering of the program by the distributor. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI |
