摘要:
A computer-implemented letter-based method of encoding a length-significant portion of natural language text to generate a letter-based fingerprint of the text portion, the method including detecting letter-based locations of occurrences of pre-determined single-letter and/or multi-letter pattern(s) within the length-significant portion, the detecting being carried out such that at least some occurrences are detected in a word-boundary independent manner that does not depend on locations of word-word boundaries, for a pattern occurrence letter-position signal which describes letter positions of the occurrences of the patterns within the text portion, computing frequency-dependent absolute or relative magnitudes of signal strength for a plurality of frequencies, the computed magnitudes representing letter-based frequencies of the pattern occurrences within the natural language text portion, and storing the computed signal strength magnitudes at the plurality of frequencies, the generated fingerprint comprising the stored signal strength magnitudes. Related apparatus and methods are also described.
摘要:
A key distribution system for controlling access to content by rendering devices, comprising an epoch module to provide epochs, each epoch including service key periods, a service key module to provide a batch of service keys, a group module to provide group keys for each epoch such that each rendering device is assigned a group key grouping together the devices having the same group key, thereby defining groups, in different epochs the devices are grouped differently, an encryption module to encrypt, for each epoch, each service key in the batch of service keys, individually with each group key yielding a plurality of group-key-encrypted service keys from each service key, and a delivery module to distribute to the devices, for each one of the epochs, the group-key-encrypted service keys for the batch of service keys and the group keys of the one epoch. Related apparatus and methods are also described.
摘要:
A key production system to determine a cryptographic key for a selected cryptoperiod being later than or equal to a cryptoperiod-A, and earlier than or equal to a different cryptoperiod-B, the system including a first receiver to receive a first key-component, associated with cryptoperiod-A, forming part of a first hash-chain progressing via a first one-way function, progressive key-components corresponding to later cryptoperiods, a second receiver to receive a second key-component, associated with cryptoperiod-B, forming part of a second hash-chain progressing via a second one-way function, progressive key-components corresponding to earlier cryptoperiods, first and second key-component determination modules to determine key-components in the first hash-chain and the second hash-chain, respectively, for the selected cryptoperiod, and a key determination module to determine the cryptographic key based on the key-components in the first and second hash chain for the selected cryptoperiod. Related methods and apparatus are also included.
摘要:
A method for communication, including distributing over a communication network multiple channels of digital content, which are encrypted using different, channel- specific control words, and transmitting over the communication network, different, channel-specific entitlement control messages from which the control words are derivable such that each of the different channel-specific control words is derivable from any of the different channel-specific entitlement control messages by authorized receivers of the channels on the communication network. Related methods and apparatus are also included.
摘要:
A rights validator system for controlling access to content, the system including a query processor to receive a rights query and to provide a result to the rights query based on an estimated time, and a time-based query response module operationally connected to the query processor, the time-based query response module being operative to determine the estimated time as a function of a most recently updated time, and a plurality of indications of elapsed time since the most recently updated time, the indications of elapsed time being from a plurality of different sources of time indication. Related apparatus and methods are also included.
