Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A storage unit 601 g of a recording medium device 600 g stores a content and a revocation list. The revocation list includes a revocation identifier that is associated with the content and identifies a revoked public key certificate allocated to an apparatus related to use of the content. A controller 602 g of the recording medium device 600 g is provided with an acquisition unit 621 g that acquires, from an apparatus 300 g , an acquisition request for the content and an apparatus identifier identifying a public key certificate of the apparatus 300 g ; a judgment unit 622 g that judges whether the apparatus identifier matches a revocation identifier; and a control unit 623 g that controls to prohibit output of the content to the apparatus when the apparatus identifier and the revocation identifier match.
