Abstract

A data protection system obtains data having a first content on which a first encryption has been performed and a second content on which a second encryption has been performed, the second encryption more difficult to break than the first encryption. A first content decryption unit decrypts the first content, using a first encryption method corresponding to the first encryption of the first content. A second content decryption unit decrypts the second content using a second decryption method that corresponds to the second encryption. The decrypting contents can be executed by a software, and the second content decryption unit can include one of tamperproof hardware and an apparatus that executes tamperproof software.
