Abstract:
A system for receiving and decrypting media content encrypted according to the HDCP protocol is described herein. A receiving device coupled to a plurality of content channels includes an authentication engine to authenticate each content channel and to generate an initial session key associated with each authenticated content channel. The content channels can be, for example, an HDMI channel or an MHL3 channel. A session key indicator indicating a session key used to encrypt media content is received, and an updated session key is generated. The receiving device also includes a stream cipher engine configured to decrypt received encrypted media content using the updated session key. Decrypted media content can then be displayed, for instance on a display of the receiving device.
Abstract:
A mechanism for facilitating dynamic counter synchronization and packetization for data streams being communicated over communication devices is described. In one embodiment, a method includes detecting an audio/video (A/V) data stream being encrypted and/or decrypted using one or more high-bandwidth digital content protection (HDCP) engines, where the A/V data stream is communicated between a source device and a sink device. The method may further include dividing a video stream portion of the A/V data stream into a plurality of frames if the A/V data stream relates to a high-definition multimedia interface (HDMI), and synchronizing counter values with indicators within the plurality of frames.
