1. A method of enciphering data comprising the steps of:
- subjecting digital information data to enciphering process by an enciphering apparatus using initial common key data (DKI) for a predetermined time and thereafter using common key data (DEY) for producing enciphered information data,subjecting the common key data (DEY) to enciphering process using open key data (DOY) for producing enciphered key data (DXY), and sending a signal including both the enciphered information data and the enciphered key data (DXY);
wherein in a deciphering process while the enciphered key data (DXY) is being deciphered, the initial common key data (DKI), which are previously set, are used to decipher the enciphered information data, and after the predetermined time from the start of the deciphering process, once the enciphered key data (DXY) is deciphered to produce the common key data (DEY), the common key data (DEY) are used to decipher the enciphered information data and wherein the digital information data is a high definition (HD) digital signal.

Abstract
A method of enciphering data which is applicable to cipher-transmission of digital information data, in which the HD-SDI signal DHS is subjected to enciphering process using common key data DEY which is common to encipherment and decipherment to produce enciphered HD-SDI signal DHSE, the common key data DEY are subjected to enciphering process using open key data DOY to produce enciphered common key data DXY, and the enciphered HD-SDI signal DHSE accompanied with the enciphered common key data DXY are send to be transmitted, so that such a fear that the common key data DEY are eavesdropped on the transmission thereof can be effectively reduced.
