<p>A receiving technique, for receiving encrypted data encrypted by an encryption key which is updated periodically, includes a step S16, in which a control circuit monitors an ODD/EVEN flag added to the encrypted data. In a step S17, the control circuit determines whether the flag read in the step S16 is different from that read before. When it is determined that the flag has been changed, the processing proceeds to a step S18. In the step S18, the control circuit determines whether the new flag is ODD or EVEN. When it is determined that the new flag is ODD, the processing proceeds to a step S19. In the step S19, the control circuit determines whether the smaller key of the two keys written into registers is stored in an EVEN register. When it is determined that the smaller key is stored in the EVEN register, the processing proceeds to a step S20. In the step S20, the control circuit updates the EVEN key written into the EVEN register. Steps S21 and S22 produce corresponding results if it is determined that the smaller key is stored in the ODD register. <IMAGE></p> |
