the time corresponding to the respective data among the plurality of data include times when the information processing device has acquired the respective data.

5. The computer-readable storage medium storing the data conversion program according to claim 2, the process further comprising:

receiving, before the acquiring of the first information and the second information, from the information processing device that transmits the plurality of data, position information designating positions where each of the predetermined number of pieces of the specific information relating to the key value is embedded in each of the predetermined number of the data among the received plurality of data; and

storing the received position information in the storage,

and wherein

in the extracting of the predetermined number of pieces of the specific information relating to the key value, the position information is acquired from the storage, and each of the predetermined number of pieces of the specific information relating to the key value is extracted from the position indicated by the position information in each of the predetermined number of the data from among the received plurality of data.

6. The computer-readable storage medium storing the data conversion program according to claim 1, wherein

in the converting of the data format, the key value is a sum of respective values indicated by the extracted predetermined number of pieces of the specific information relating to the key value, and the data format of the conversion target data is converted by performing a predetermined operation between each of the predetermined number of the data from among the received plurality of data and the key value.

7. The computer-readable storage medium storing the data conversion program according to claim 6, wherein

the predetermined operation is addition or subtraction.

8. The computer-readable storage medium storing the data conversion program according to claim 1, wherein

in the acquiring of the first information and the second information, an information processing device that has transmitted the plurality of data is specified, and the first information and the second information corresponding to the specified information processing device are acquired.

9. The computer-readable storage medium storing the data conversion program according to claim 1, wherein

the acquiring of the conversion target data, the extracting of the predetermined number of pieces of the specific information relating to the key value, and the converting are repeatedly performed until the data formats are converted for all of the received plurality of data.

10. A computer-readable non-transitory storage medium storing a data conversion program that causes a computer to execute a process comprising:

acquiring first information and second information from a storage, the first information designating any of data among a plurality of data from sensors for information measured by the sensors, the second information designating a predetermined number of the data among the plurality of data that is encrypted using a key value;
