Abstract

To reduce a load on a user terminal imposed when verifying signature data and at the same time reduce a load on a server, a signature key matrix KM includes a plurality of signature keys Ki-j arranged in a matrix structure of m rows and n columns, and is stored in a signature key matrix database 21. A correspondence relationship between a signature key set CK which is an aggregate of any signature keys selected from the n columns respectively and a user terminal 30 is stored in a correspondence relationship information database 22. A signature data generating unit 24 generates signature data having a matrix structure by encrypting a content digest D generated based on content data C by n number of signature keys included in the signature key matrix KM.
