Information processing apparatus, disk, information processing method, and program

An information processing apparatus comprising:

• a data processing unit configured to verify data recorded on a disk and reproduce content recorded on the disk if a verification condition is satisfied;
• wherein the data processing unit verifies the validity of an ID inserter that has recorded, on the disk, an ID corresponding to the disk, and wherein the data processing unit acquires, from the disk, an ID inserter certificate containing an apparatus ID of the ID inserter that has recorded the ID corresponding to the disk on the disk and an ID inserter blacklist having apparatus IDs of invoked ID inserters registered therein, determines whether the apparatus ID contained in the ID inserter certificate is registered in the ID inserter blacklist so as to verify the validity of the ID inserter that has recorded, on the disk, the ID corresponding to the disk, and stops reproduction of the content recorded on the disk if it is determined that the ID inserter is not valid,
• wherein, when the apparatus ID contained in the ID inserter certificate is not registered in the ID inserter blacklist, the data processing unit reads a content certificate that is recorded on the disk and that certifies the validity of the content and compares a content certificate issue date contained in the content certificate with an issue date of the ID inserter blacklist, and wherein, when the issue date of the ID inserter blacklist is earlier than the content certificate issue date and if a difference between the issue date of the ID inserter blacklist and the content certificate issue date is greater than or equal to a predetermined threshold value, the data processing unit stops reproduction of the content recorded on the disk.

A disk storing:

• content;
• An ID corresponding to the disk;
• an ID inserter certificate containing an apparatus ID of an ID inserter that has recorded the ID corresponding to the disk on the disk;
• and
• an ID inserter blacklist having apparatus IDs of invoked ID inserters registered therein,
• wherein an information processing apparatus that reproduces the content determines whether the apparatus ID contained in the ID inserter certificate is registered in the ID inserter blacklist so as to verify the validity of the ID inserter that has recorded, on the disk, the ID corresponding to the disk, and stops reproduction of the content recorded on the disk if it is determined that the ID inserter is not valid, and
• wherein, when the apparatus ID contained in the ID inserter certificate is registered in the ID inserter blacklist, the information processing apparatus reads a content certificate that is recorded on the disk and that certifies the validity of the content and compares a content certificate issue date contained in the content certificate with an expiration date of the validity of the ID inserter contained in the ID inserter blacklist, and wherein, if an expiration date of the validity of the ID inserter is earlier than the content certificate issue date, the information processing apparatus stops reproduction of the content recorded on the disk.

An information processing method for use in an information processing apparatus, comprising the step of:

• verifying data recorded on a disk and, if a verification condition is satisfied, reproducing content recorded on the disk using a data processing unit of the information processing apparatus;
• wherein the step of verifying data recorded on the disk and reproducing content recorded on the disk involves acquiring an ID inserter certificate containing an apparatus ID of the ID inserter that has recorded the ID corresponding to the disk on the disk and an ID inserter blacklist having apparatus IDs of invoked ID inserters registered therein and determining whether the apparatus ID contained in the ID inserter certificate is registered in the ID inserter blacklist so as to verify the validity of the ID inserter that has recorded, on the disk, the ID corresponding to the disk and stopping reproduction of the content recorded on the disk if it is determined that the ID inserter is not valid, and
• wherein, the step of verifying data recorded on the disk and reproducing content recorded on the disk further involves, when the apparatus ID contained in the ID inserter certificate is registered in the ID inserter blacklist, reading a content certificate that is recorded on the disk and that certifies the validity of the content and comparing a content certificate issue date contained in the content certificate with an expiration date of the validity of the ID inserter contained in the ID inserter blacklist, and, if an expiration date of the validity of the ID inserter is earlier than the content certificate issue date, stopping reproduction of the content recorded on the disk.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing thereon a program for causing an information processing apparatus to perform data processing, comprising:

• program code for causing a data processing unit of the information processing apparatus to perform a step of verifying data recorded on a disk and reproducing content recorded on the disk if a verification condition is satisfied;
• wherein the step of verifying data recorded on a disk and reproducing content recorded on the disk involves acquiring an ID inserter certificate containing an apparatus ID of the ID inserter that has recorded the ID corresponding to the disk on the disk and an ID inserter blacklist having apparatus IDs of invoked ID inserters registered therein and determining whether the apparatus ID contained in the ID inserter certificate is registered in the ID inserter blacklist so as to verify the validity of the ID inserter that has recorded, on the disk, the ID corresponding to the disk and stopping reproduction of the content recorded on the disk if it is determined that the ID inserter is not valid, and
• wherein, the step of verifying data recorded on the disk and reproducing content recorded on the disk further involves, when the apparatus ID contained in the ID inserter certificate is registered in the ID inserter blacklist, reading a content certificate that is recorded on the disk and that certifies the validity of the content and comparing a content certificate issue date contained in the content certificate with an expiration date of the validity of the ID inserter contained in the ID inserter blacklist, and, if an expiration date of the validity of the ID inserter is earlier than the content certificate issue date, stopping reproduction of the content recorded on the disk.
