摘要:
A terminal authentication apparatus and method in a Downloadable Conditional Access System (DCAS) is provided. The terminal authentication method may determine whether terminal authentication information, received from a DCAS terminal, is valid by referring to a database, may transmit DCAS image information and pairing information about the terminal authentication information to a user terminal, when the terminal authentication information is valid, and thereby may enable the DCAS terminal to set the user terminal based on the pairing information.

Disclosed are a method and apparatus for providing broadcast service information in a cable network. A data transmitting method of the broadcast service information providing apparatus includes receiving IPTV broadcast contents, configuring broadcast service information on the IPTV broadcast contents, assigning a virtual channel to the broadcast service information; and transmitting, to a terminal, the broadcast service information to which the virtual channel is assigned. A data receiving method of a terminal includes receiving broadcast service information to which a virtual channel is assigned, displaying configuration information of the virtual channel, selecting the virtual channel, and decoding the broadcast service information assigned to the selected virtual channel to display the decoded information.
摘要:
A method of selectively using a CA application of a terminal, the method including: searching a CA application table when a service of fee-based contents is requested, and determining whether a corresponding CA application is installed; and extracting a key required for descrambling a broadcasting signal using the CA application, when the CA application is installed based on a result of the determining.

A method of operating a headend system for a downloadable conditional access service, the method including: receiving, by an Authentication Proxy (AP) server, basic authentication information from a Downloadable Conditional Access System (DCAS) host, the basic authentication information being required to authenticate the DCAS host; transmitting, by the AP server, the basic authentication information to an external trusted authority device which authenticates the DCAS host; generating, by the AP server, a session key for encrypting/decrypting a secure micro client using a session key sharing factor; obtaining, by the AP server, download-related information of the secure micro client from a DCAS Provisioning Server (DPS); and commanding, by the AP server, an Integrated Personalization System (IPS) server to download the secure micro client to the DCAS host based on the download-related information, the secure micro client being encrypted by the session key.

A mutual authentication apparatus in a Downloadable Conditional Access System (DCAS) includes an announce protocol processor to authenticate SecurityAnnounce information using an Authentication Proxy (AP) and to transmit the authenticated SecurityAnnounce information to a Secure Micro (SM), a keying protocol processor to relay KeyRequest information and KeyResponse information between a Trusted Authority (TA) and the SM in response to the SecurityAnnounce information, a decryption unit to decrypt the KeyResponse information using the SM, an authentication protocol processor to determine whether a first encryption key of the KeyResponse information is identical to a second encryption key generated by the AP, and a download protocol processor to control DownloadInfo to be transmitted from the AP to the SM, the DownloadInfo permitting the SM to download SM Client Image information.
摘要:
A mutual authentication method in a Downloadable Conditional Access System (DCAS) is provided. The mutual authentication method may receive authentication-related information about authentication between an authentication unit and a security module (SM) from a Trusted Authority (TA), generate an authentication session key using the authentication-related information, transmit the authentication session key by the authentication unit to the SM through a Cable Modem Termination System (CMTS), and control a Conditional Access System (CAS) software to be downloaded to the SM from the authentication unit, when the authentication is completed by the authentication session key.
摘要:
A method of operating a Secure Micro (SM) of a host in a Conditional Access (CA) system is provided. The method includes: receiving, by the SM, a SecurityAnnounce message including a certificate of an AP server connected with a host; determining, by the SM, whether a public key stored in a memory in advance exists, and setting a flag as a first state when the public key stored in advance exists; verifying, by the SM, a digital signature with respect to the SecurityAnnounce message using the public key stored in advance; and acquiring, by the SM, another public key of the AP server by parsing the certificate and setting the flag as a second state based on whether the flag corresponds to the first state when the SM is unable to verify the digital signature.
摘要:
A security control method in a cable network dynamic multicast session, and more particularly, a method of controlling forward secrecy and backward secrecy in a Data Over Cable Service Interface Specifications (DOCSIS) 3.0 network dynamic multicast session is provided. A security control method in a cable network dynamic multicast session, includes: maintaining a multicast group that is allocated with a first Downstream Service Identifier (DSID) and a first Security Association Identifier (SAID) and that is joined by a first cable modem and a second cable modem; receiving a LeaveMulticastSession message from the second cable modem; exchanging, corresponding to the LeaveMulticastSession message, a Dynamic Bonding Change (DBC) message for changing a multicast parameter with the second cable modem; and updating a first Traffic Encryption Key (TEK) corresponding to the first DSID with a second TEK.
摘要:
Disclosed is a downloadable conditional access system (DCAS) and an operational method thereof that distributes a part of a function of a Trusted Authority to each multiple system operator (MSO) to enable the MSO server to process authentication with respect to a secure micro (SM) chip and a transport processor (TP) chip, and thus, a normal DCAS service is possible even when there is a problem with a security, and a DCAS host terminal for rental use is effectively operated.
