    Abstract: Methods and systems for authenticated mode control in controlled devices are disclosed. A method for changing a mode in a controlled device from a current mode includes selecting one of several available key derivation functions based on a target mode, generating a target mode specific root key using a global root key and the selected key derivation function, and the use of that root key to affect a change of the controlled device to a target mode. Corresponding devices and systems are also disclosed. In one embodiment, the methods are applicable to a cable television distribution system and the changing of the operating mode of a set top box from one conditional access provider to another.

    Abstract: A filter is arranged to selectively block or allow a data access command from an initiator according to whether the initiator is secure or insecure and whether a data source or destination being accessed is privileged or unprivileged. The data access command contains an identification of the initiator from which the data access command originated and an identification of the data source or destination being accessed. The security filter compares the initiator identification and data source or destination identification contained within the data access command with a list of those initiators defined as secure and a list of those data sources or destinations which are defined as unprivileged. The filter then blocks or allows the data access command signal according to a set of rules.

    Abstract: A semiconductor integrated circuit for the processing of conditional access television signals that includes an input interface for receiving encrypted television signals and an output interface for output of decrypted television signals. The semiconductor integrated circuit is provided with some functionality restricted in some way by preventing one or more hardware circuit elements from operating, such as an MPEG decoder, display engine, IO ports or main CPU. To enable the functionality, a subscriber must pay for a service and then receives an encrypted message broadcast to the semiconductor integrated circuit that is decrypted and instructs functionality to be turned on or off.

    Abstract: A set-top-box has on-chip OTP memory emulated using an external flash memory and a series of on-chip fuses. The external memory is comprised of one or more regions, each having its own unique region identification. Each on-chip fuse corresponds to one of the memory regions and comprises a component which can be caused to change to a particular (blown) state irreversibly. When data first needs to be written to a region of the external memory, the identification of that region is appended to the data itself together with a parity field and a validity field. The resultant data packet is then encrypted by a cryptographic circuit using a secret key unique to the set-top-box and the encrypted data packet is written to the specified region of the external memory. Then, the on-chip fuse corresponding to the region that has been written to is irreversibly blown, effectively locking that region.
