Apparatus for encrypting and recording received content information on a recording medium using both medium identification information and a cipher key for encryption
First Claim
1. An information recording device for recording information on an optical disk comprising a first recording area and a second recording area, said device comprising:
- means for recording information using a first modulation method into a first recording area of such an optical disk;
means for reading disk identification information recorded by a second modulation method in a second recording area of the optical disk said means including an optical head which is also capable of reading information recorded in the first recording area; and
means for encrypting information using at least both a cipher key and said disk identification information unique to the optical disk, into encrypted information unique to the same optical disk, andmeans for permitting recording of said encrypted information by said means for recording after confirming the content of a recording permission code in an input signal to said means for recording.
