A method for installing different security clients for channels in a terminal in a conditional access system includes: searching one or more channels searchable in the terminal; requesting, for respective searched channels, security clients necessary for receiving pay programs to be transmitted through the searched channels, to a broadcasting station which takes charge of the searched channels; and downloading and installing, for respective searched channels, the requested security clients from the broadcasting station.

Provided is a digital broadcasting conditional access system and method using an Authorization Revocation List (ARL) for preventing an illegal pay broadcasting viewing after a secession time by promptly revoking an entitlement of pay service seceders through a periodical transmission of ARL that is daily or monthly prepared and updated to subscribers. The invention system comprises an ARL providing unit for creating daily and monthly ARLs separately and updating the ARLs based on service secession information of subscribers, a Subscriber Management System (SMS) for receiving service secession requests from subscribers and delivering the requests to the ARL providing unit, a Subscriber Authorization System (SAS) for producing an Entitlement Control Message (ECM) and an Entitlement Management Message (EMM) for subscriber authorization at a receiving end by using the daily and the monthly ARLs managed by the ARL providing unit, and a transmitting unit for periodically transmitting the ECM to subscribers via an in-band channel and the EMM via an out-of-band channel.

The present invention relates to a technology of paring a secure micro (SM) and a transport processor (TP) in a downloadable conditional access system (DCAS). More specifically, predetermined security components generated by a trusted authority which is a certificate authority are previously embedded into the SM and the TP, and pairing between the SM and the TP is performed by association of the security components with the TA. Accordingly, safe pairing can be assured and the leakage of security information from the SM by malicious hacking can be prevented.

Disclosed is a method for providing a pay-TV service based on a session key. The method includes the steps of: selecting a desired pay event using a program guide displayed on a system of the subscriber and achieving a subscriber private key; filling out a service application based on service information, signing the service application based on a digital signature scheme and encrypting the digital signed service application; transmitting the encrypted service application to a broadcasting station and waiting a response of the broadcasting station; receiving a session key and a subscription authority message from the broadcasting station, decrypting the session key and the subscription authority message and verifying the digital signature; decrypting a channel key, achieving a control word, descrambling event audio/video streams and watching the event; and if the event is terminated or the session key is not effective, stopping watching the event and deleting the session key.

Provided is apparatus and method for transforming cable channel. The apparatus includes a data mixing unit for receiving and mixing a band data and a first broadband data, to thereby generate a second broadband data of a broadband cable channel, and a channel adapting unit for dividing a band data from the second broadband data received through the broadband cable channel, bypassing the second broadband data to a first subscriber apparatus and transmitting the band data to a second subscriber apparatus.

Provided is a method for securing cable modem (CM) following a Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification (DOCSIS) against physical security attacks. The method includes the steps of: a) classifying information to be stored in the DOCSIS CM based on a requirement degree of confidentiality and anti-alteration; b) storing the information in a non-volatile memory of the DOCSIS CM when the information is absolute confidential information, but processing a mechanism for deleting the information stored in the non-volatile memory in case that attacks by a hacker is sensed; c) storing the information in the non-volatile memory of the DOCSIS CM when the information is middle-level security information; and d) storing the information in a write-once (WO) memory of the DOCSIS CM when the information is absolute anti-alteration information.
