Abstract: The decoding of encrypted data is made impossible to prevent the leakage of the data. An encrypted data obtained by the encryption of processing subject data are comprised of header data (501) and many encrypting cutoff data (502). When a decoding processing device decodes the encrypted data encrypted by an encryption processing device, the decoding processing device uses a solution used in encrypting the encrypted data and the file name of the encrypted data. In the present invention a region corresponding to the file name of the header (501) on which the file name of the encrypted data is recorded is deleted or destroyed by overwriting at just the right time to make the decoding of the encrypted data impossible.

Abstract: This disclosure describes a multi-stage tessellation technique for tessellating a curve during graphics rendering. In particular, a first tessellation stage tessellates the curve into a first set of line segments that each represents a portion of the curve. A second tessellation stage further tessellates the portion of the curve represented by each of the line segments of the first set into additional line segments that more finely represent the shape of the curve. In this manner, each portion of the curve that was represented by only one line segment after the first tessellation stage is represented by more than one line segment after the second tessellation stage. In some instances, more than two tessellation stages may be performed to tessellate the curve.
