<p>An authenticating method, a server using the same, and a reproducing apparatus using the same are provided. The authenticating method includes: (a) transmitting program codes for performing authentication to a reproducing apparatus in response to a request of content requiring the authentication from the reproducing apparatus; (b) receiving identification information for the authentication, which is transmitted as a result of executing the program codes in the reproducing apparatus, from the reproducing apparatus and performing the authentication; and (c) if the authentication succeeded, transmitting the requested content to the reproducing apparatus, and if the authentication failed, transmitting a message notifying the failure to the reproducing apparatus. Accordingly, by adding only a function of reading data recorded on a disc according to a disc type without supporting a new method for disc authentication required by a content provider whenever a disc with a new format is produced or whenever content with a new format is developed, a reproducing apparatus can download predetermined content by being connected to various servers requiring various authenticating methods and performing the authentication without supporting the various authenticating methods.</p> |
