摘要:
A process composes a content license for a set of content. The content license has a static portion and a dynamic portion. Further, the process inserts a master key into the static portion. In addition, the process inserts a plurality of content rule sets of values into the dynamic portion and composes a unique content encryption key for each segment of content associated with one of the content rule sets of values as each of the content rule sets of values is sequentially received during recording of the content. The unique content encryption key is based on the master key and at least a subset of the content rule set of values for a corresponding segment of the content. The unique content encryption key is utilized for encryption of each segment of the content to generate a plurality of encrypted content segments for storage on the storage medium.

The present invention discloses an apparatus and method for obtaining rights management data for broadcast or multicast content. In one embodiment, a broadcast trigger message is obtained from a broadcast source. At least one content license identifier from said broadcast trigger message is obtained. Afterwards, at least one content license file associated with said at least one content license identifier is requested. Notably, the broadcast trigger message is shared by all endpoint devices while the content license file is uniquely adapted for the requesting endpoint device.
摘要:
The systems disclosed here provide a complete standards-based end-to-end scalable system for storage, delivery and in-home distribution of digital content over IP networks using standard protocols such as Real-time Transport Protocol (“RTP”) or IP-encapsulated MPEG-2 Transport Stream, or traditional MPEG-2 networks. Mechanisms are provided for receiving content from one security domain, re-encrypting that content uniquely for a receiving device, persistently storing that content, and playing back that content at a later time to and within another security domain. The systems also provide the ability to stream the persistently-stored content from the initial receiving device to another device that has been authenticated as part of a, e.g., home network. This allows a media server, e.g., a dual-tuner set-top box (“STB”) with hard drive, to deliver recorded content to any TV in the house by streaming to media clients such as STBs.

A copyright protection method (150) and apparatus (190) employs (151) a first protection scheme (160) within a single authorized domain (195), in which all interfaces (194a-c) are protected with digital rights management system and employs (152) a second protection scheme (170) for use in inter-domain file transfers. The method (150) and apparatus (190) may employ (153) a third protection scheme (180) for external outputs (197a-c) not protected by a digital rights management system. The first protection scheme (160) includes specifying (161) whether a copy of files is allowed to be stored anywhere within the single authorized domain; specifying (162) whether files may be stored only on specific devices within the single authorized domain; or specifying (163) how many simultaneous rendering devices are permitted when rendering files. The second protection scheme (170) may include: specifying (171) if the files may be copied to other domains; and explicitly identifying (172) domains to which copies are allowed; specifying (173) if files may be moved to other domains, and optionally allowing movement of files to any other domain; specifying (174) a list of specific domains to which content may be copied, and preserving content rights during content transfer to another domain; or specifying (175) specific domains to which content may be moved, and preserving content rights during content transfer. The third protection scheme (180) may include: specifying (181) copy protection information separately for analog, digital uncompressed and digital compressed outputs; specifying (182) a CGMS Copy protection state; specifying (183) MACROVISION parameters for analog outputs; specifying (184) if a particular type of output is allowed at all; or disabling (185) the particular type of output if the particular output type is not allowed.
摘要:
Management of rights to content is provided within an authorized domain. In a single authorized domain, where a plurality of domain interfaces are protected using a common rights management system, a copy of particular content may be allowed to be provided on all devices or only on specific devices coupled to the domain via the interfaces. Copy protection information, for outputs to external devices not protected by the common rights management system, is also specified. Rules can be provided for specifying whether particular content may be copied or moved to another protected domain. A number of rendering devices permitted to render the content simultaneously may be specified. Content rules are provided for use in managing rights to content within an authorized domain. Such rules can be associated with content that is persistently stored by a consumer device, as well as with content that is only rendered by a consumer device.
摘要:
A method, device and system for controlling JTAG interface enablement within a communication device. The JTAG interface can be selectively enabled based on the receipt of an encrypted access token generated by an access token server. The access token server generates the access token in response to an end user providing appropriate device-specific information. The access token includes appropriate information that, upon appropriate authentication and decryption, can temporarily device bind the boot code image of the device in a manner that enables the JTAG interface. Alternatively, the access token includes appropriate information that instructs the general purpose processor to choose between JTAG interface enablement information and JTAG interface disablement information for use with the boot code image of the device. The access token can include expiration information that causes an enabled JTAG interface to revert back to its disabled status upon expiration of the access token.
摘要:
The present invention discloses an apparatus and method for reserving a set of requested rights. In one example, the digital rights data associated with digital content information is found in a remaining rights file using a license index. A portion of the digital rights data is subsequently reserved. A determination is made as to whether a content download associated with the digital content information is successful. If the content download is unsuccessful, then the reserved portion of the digital rights data is cancelled. Alternatively, if the content download is successful, then the remaining rights file is updated to reflect a use of the portion of the digital rights data.
摘要:
Method and apparatus providing program information to client devices for at least one multicast stream of digital content is described. In one embodiment, session description messages for the at least one multicast stream of digital content are generated. Each of the session description messages includes at least one content access parameter. The at least one content access parameter may include digital rights management (DRM) data, channel key identification data associated with the at least one channel of the at least one multicast stream of digital content, and/or data indicative of whether each session description message is associated with a channel, a program, or a program segment. Each of the session description messages is signed using a cryptographic key. The session description messages are then multicasted to the client devices using a predefined multicast address.
