According to the first feature of the present invention, the exchange of data to be copyright protected is permitted by regarding only the communication closed in the local network as communication for enjoying between individuals or families. Since communication that cannot be closed by the local network cannot be regarded as communication for enjoyment between individuals or families, exchange of data to be copyright protected is not permitted. For this reason, it is determined in advance whether a receiving device that requests data reproduction exists on the local network, and based on the result of the determination, authentication and key exchange with the receiving device are performed, thereby taking copyright protection into consideration. It becomes possible to exchange the data. That is, only the receiving device connected to the local network performs the authentication and key exchange, and thereby can decrypt the encrypted data.
