1. A method for furnishing key data to a data processing apparatus, comprising:
- receiving first key data at said data processing apparatus on which a contents reproducing program is installed;
using said first key data to copy first contents data stored originally in a compact disc for storage in said data processing apparatus, and using said first key data to perform authentication between said data processing apparatus and a portable reproducing apparatus connected to said data processing apparatus before transmitting/receiving said first contents data between said data processing apparatus and said portable reproducing apparatus;
receiving second key data at said data processing apparatus, said second key data different from said first key data; and
using said second key data to download the second contents data furnished from said contents server for storage in said data processing apparatus, said second key data also being used to perform authentication between said data processing apparatus and said portable reproducing apparatus before transmitting/receiving said second contents data between said data processing apparatus and said portable reproducing apparatus, whereinthe said portable reproducing apparatus holds the first to ith key data updated in generation from the first generation to the ith generation, where i is an integer not smaller than 2, andsaid portable reproducing apparatus and the contents reproducing program performs authentication using an authentication key of the same generation.

Abstract
After a reproduction program is installed on a PC, a key for CD ripping is furnished e.g., from an FD. With the key for CD ripping, the music contents in a CD can be copied to a PC, however, it is not possible to download music contents from an EMD server for copying on a PD. For storing the music contents distributed from the EMD server on the PD, the reproduction program first acquired a key for EMD different from the key for ripping over the network. By so doing, the contents data distributed over the network may be improved in safety.

11. A portable reproducing apparatus connected to a data processing apparatus having a contents reproducing program for reproducing contents data, in which contents data furnished from said data processing apparatus is stored in a recording medium for reproduction, wherein
inherent ID information and key data of plural generations are stored in the recording medium of the portable reproducing apparatus from the outset; -
first key data supplied to said contents reproducing program in said data processing apparatus and used for storing the contents data furnished from a compact disc connected to said data processing apparatus is used by said portable reproducing apparatus to perform authentication with said data processing apparatus in acquiring contents data stored in said compact disc connected to said data processing apparatus; and wherein when said contents reproducing program performs transmission/reception of contents data distributed from a contents server, second key data different from said first key data is furnished to said data processing apparatus over a network; key data of the same generation as the second key data furnished being used by said portable reproducing apparatus to perform authentication with said data processing apparatus in acquiring the contents data furnished from said contents server to receive said contents data from said data processing apparatus, wherein said portable reproducing apparatus and the contents reproducing program performs authentication using an authentication key of the same generation. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A recording medium connected to a data processing apparatus having a contents reproducing program for reproducing contents data, in which the recording medium has stored therein a program executed by a portable reproducing apparatus adapted for storing and reproducing contents data furnished by said data processing apparatus, wherein
inherent ID information and key data of plural generations are stored in said portable reproducing apparatus from the outset; - and wherein
the recording medium has stored therein a program for permitting said portable reproducing apparatus in such a manner that key data of the same generation as first key data supplied to said contents reproducing program in said data processing apparatus and used for storing the contents data in said data processing apparatus furnished from a compact disc connected to said data processing apparatus is used to perform authentication with said data processing apparatus in acquiring contents data stored in said compact disc connected to said data processing apparatus to receive contents data stored in said compact disc; and wherein when said contents reproducing program performs transmission/reception of contents data distributed from a contents server, second key data different from said first key data is furnished to said data processing apparatus over a network; key data of the same generation as the second key data furnished being used by said portable reproducing apparatus to perform authentication with said data processing apparatus in acquiring the contents data furnished from said contents server to receive said contents data from said data processing apparatus.
