摘要:
A method for verifying access conditions performed by two conditional access devices consecutively on a control message before releasing a control word to a descrambler. The control message includes a first part including first access conditions and a second part structured as a control message including at least second access conditions and a control word. A first conditional access device is configured for decrypting the control message with a common key specific to units having a first conditional access device and verifying the authenticity of said message. When the verification succeeds, the second part and a second right is transmitted to a second conditional access device, which decrypts the second part with a common key specific to units having a second conditional access device and verifies the authenticity of said second part and the second access conditions in relation to the second right encrypted by a personal key embedded therein.

A method based on access conditions verification performed by two conditional access devices consecutively on a control message before releasing a control word to a descrambler. The control message encapsulates a second part including another control message. The processing unit for carrying out the method comprises a first conditional access device connected to a second conditional access device provided with a descrambler and a secured processor or secured hardware logic. The control message and the second part are each encrypted and accompanied by respectively first and second authentication data. The first conditional access device decrypts and verifies integrity of the control message, verifies the first access conditions and transmits the second part to the second access control device. The second conditional access device decrypts and verifies integrity of the second part and further verifies the second access conditions, and releases and loads the control word into the descrambler.

摘要:
A method is disclosed for access control to conditional access data in a multimedia unit comprising at least one security module. This process includes:reception by the multimedia unit of a control message ECM containing at least one control word cw; transmission of this message ECM to said security module, this control message being associated to a message decryption right; determination of a validity date of the ECM control message decryption rights associated to said security module; determination of the present date; comparison of the present date with the expiration date of the decryption rights and determination of whether the present date is prior to the expiration date. In the affirmative case, decryption of the control message ECM and sending of the control word cw to the multimedia unit occurs In the negative case, reading of a value contained in a counter of the security module and comparison of this value occurs, to determine whether this value is comprised within a range authorizing decryption. Further, in the affirmative case, modification of the value of the counter according to a pre-established rule, and decryption of the control message ECM and sending of the control word cw to the multimedia unit also occurs. Finally, in the negative case, access to the conditional access data is blocked.

This invention concerns a security module deactivation and reactivation method particularly intended for access control of conditional access data. These security modules include a plurality of registers (R1, R2, R3, Rn) containing values. The method includes the step of sending at least one management message (RUN-EMM) containing an executable code, this executable code being loaded into a memory of the security module and then executed. The execution of this code in particular can carry out the combination and/or the enciphering of the values of the registers, or render these values illegible. This method also allows the reactivation of the security modules that have been deactivated previously. In this case, the method includes the step of sending another message containing an executable code (RUN-EMM−1) for the reactivation of the modules, this executable code having an inverted function to that of the executable code used for the deactivation of the security modules.

The aim of this invention is to assure the portability of an electronic certificate and the security of the private key which are part of the certificate X509. In fact, it is important that this certificate is not used for purposes uncontrolled by the holder, such as identity usurpation, the authorization of non-desired transactions or the reproduction of transactions (replay). This aim is reached by a storage and transporting method for an electronic certificate, said certificate having an authority section for the issuing authority, a holder section for the holder of the certificate and a signature section determined by the issuing authority, characterized in that all or part of the holder section is contained in a removable security module and that at least the authority section is contained in a host computer.

A method for updating operating data in a security module associated to a user unit for processing digital data broadcast in a transport stream, said unit being connected to a conditional access system transmitting, in said transport stream, to the security module a first stream comprising management messages includes: broadcasting a second stream of operating data patch messages, adding to the first stream of management messages, a trigger message to direct the security module to a conditional access system transmitting a second stream transporting suitable operating data patch messages if a current version of the operating data in the security module requires an update, updating the operating data of the concerned security module with the operating data patch messages from the second stream, directing the security module towards the conditional access system transmitting another stream based on an identifier of the conditional access system in the security module.

For updating shared databases on a subscriber network, a managing center sends messages addressed to each of these bases. When one requires to address a great number of databases, the time to accede to each of them increases considerably considered the necessity to repeat the information to ensure the good reception of messages. Instead of addressing by name each database, it is proposed to transmit criteria in which a certain number of databases recognize themselves and apply a selective updating on these bases.
摘要:
A method for updating the firmware of a security module allowing it to “jump” towards a dedicated separate patch message stream thanks to a trigger messages stream broadcasted in a main stream of management messages. The trigger messages comprise version information allowing establishing whether the security module is up-to-date, and an identifier indicating to the security module the suitable patch stream. If the current version of the firmware of the security module is inferior to the patch version, the security module is directed towards the stream of patch messages designated by the identifier included in the trigger messages. Once the update of the firmware is complete, the security module is again directed towards the main stream. This return can be carried out automatically, namely with a switch message comprising an identifier of the first stream.
