PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an inexpensive device for preventing an illegal use of a content by copying in a system where the content is distributed, and to provide the system. SOLUTION: In the distribution system for distributing an enciphered content and enciphering a decoding key of the content by using a public key peculiar to a terminal of a user so as to send the content for preventing the copying of the content, a reproduction terminal of the user creates a secret key from information peculiar to the terminal, and derives the public key based on the key. The public key is signed by the secret key that a distributor previously creates so as to transmit it to a distributor side. The distributor verifies a signature when processing is concealed in the device until information peculiar to the terminal is taken out and it is signed and outputted. Thus, it can be verified that the public key of the user is justly created in the user terminal. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
