A digital cryptograph and encryption process encrypts and transmits in a
digital format specific items of information requested by a user of a
digital content transmission system by using key information, a user's
key and a temporary validation key, to decrypt and replay the encrypted
digital information at the user's terminal by using the key information
and the user's authorization information. Each registered subscribing
user is provided with unique key information. The user key is generated
by applying the key information to a key generation algorithm. The
temporary validation key that is created when the registered user
accesses the server, is encrypted with the user key. The digital
information is encrypted by using the temporary validation key in an
encryption algorithm. The decryption algorithm allows the user to decrypt
and replay the encrypted digital information upon receipt of the key
information that has a one-to-one correspondence to the identity
characters of the registered subscribing user.
