A digital broadcast receiver and a control method thereof are disclosed. The control method includes receiving a broadcast signal into which mobile service data and main service data are multiplexed, extracting transmission parameter channel (TPC) signaling information and fast information channel (FIC) signaling information from a data group in the received mobile service data, acquiring control data required to decrypt an encrypted service included in an ensemble by using the extracted FIC signaling information, the ensemble being a virtual channel group of the received mobile service data, and controlling such that the encrypted service is decrypted by using the acquired control data.
