Abstract

The present invention provides a configuration for preventing each entity code stored in information recording media from being leaked. Authoring studio code (ASC) and disc manufacturer code (DMC) are encrypted without failure and the encrypted codes are stored in information recording media. The data setting location in program map table (PMT) is controlled such that these entity codes will not overlap the seed area that provides key generating information, so that, if the packet storing the program map table storing authoring studio code (ASC) and disc manufacturer code (DMC) is set to an arbitrary position in a content packet sequence, these entity codes will not overlap the seed area that is non-encrypted data, thereby preventing these entity codes from being leaked outside.

Claims

content and an entity code set for each entity in a manufacturing route of said information recording medium, and data included in a certain encryption processing unit is encrypted by a key generated on the basis of a seed providing encryption processing key generating information set for each said encryption processing unit and

said entity code is stored in an encrypted area which is encrypted by said key generated on the basis of said seed, said encrypted area not overlapping an area to which said seed is set.

2. The information recording medium according to claim 1, wherein said encryption processing unit is set as a collective data area of a plurality of packets and said seed is set as data having the predetermined number of bits from start data of a start packet of said encryption processing unit and

said entity code is stored as a payload of each of said plurality of packets and stored in a data area not overlapping an area of bits constituting said seed.

3. The information recording medium according to claim 1, wherein said entity code is stored in a program map table (PMT) specified by the MPEG standard and said entity code provides data constituting a start packet of a plurality of divided packets storing said program map table (PMT) in a program information area of said program map table (PMT).

4. The information recording medium according to claim 3, wherein said start packet of said plurality of divided packets is a transport stream packet having a payload of 183 bytes and said entity code is stored as data within 183 bytes from start data of said program map table (PMT) in said program information area of said program map table (PMT).

5. The information recording medium according to claim 1, wherein said entity code is stored in a program map table (PMT) specified by the MPEG standard,

said program map table (PMT) is stored as a payload of each of a plurality of transport stream packets in a divided manner, and each of said plurality of transport stream packet is attached with timestamp information to be stored in said information recording medium as a source packet in a distributed manner.

6. The information recording medium according to claim 1, wherein said information recording medium includes a first seed, which is key generating information set for each said encryption processing unit,

an encrypted second seed, which is key generating information encrypted on the basis of a first block key Kb1 generated by said first seed, and

encrypted content and an encrypted entity code encrypted on the basis of a second block key Kb2 generated on the basis of said second seed.

7. The information recording medium according to claim 1, wherein said entity code includes an authoring studio code (ASC) and a disc manufacturer code (DMC).

8. A data processing method for generating data to be written to an information recording medium, comprising:
