Information processing device, information processing method, and program

An information processing device, comprising:

• an inhibition information receiving section for receiving, from an external device, inhibition information generated by the external device for inhibiting a predetermined manipulation from being performed in a storage region of the information processing device using a first encryption scheme but not inhibiting the predetermined manipulation from being performed in the storage region of the information processing device using a second encryption scheme, the first encryption scheme having a security strength lower than that of the second encryption scheme, and the inhibition information being received from the external device according to the second encryption scheme;
• an inhibition processing section for performing inhibition processing for inhibiting the predetermined manipulation from being performed using the first encryption scheme based on the inhibition information;
• a manipulation request receiving section for receiving a manipulation request from the external device or from another external device;
• and
• a manipulation executing section for executing the requested manipulation if the requested manipulation does not correspond to the predetermined manipulation inhibited from being performed using the first encryption scheme by the inhibition information.
