摘要

A semiconductor integrated circuit in which a number of parts can be reduced in a receiver, etc. for reproducing an encrypted image signal and information can be written or over-written into a non-volatile memory after the hardware of the receiver is completed. The semiconductor integrated circuit for use in a device for receiving an encrypted image signal includes: an interface circuit for performing serial communication with an external; and a memory control circuit for controlling writing and/or reading of first information to be transmitted to the external by the interface circuit and second information to be used in decrypting the encrypted image signal to/from a non-volatile memory.
