Abstract:
The invention relates to content decryption device for receiving a signal comprising encrypted content data and conditional access data. The conditional access data comprises one or more first keys. The content data is encrypted under one or more second keys. The device is configured for communicating with a secure module. The device comprises a signal input for receiving the signal from a head-end system and is configured for providing at least a portion of the conditional access data to the secure module to obtain the one or more first keys from the conditional access data. The device also has a decrypter, preferably a hardware descrambler, comprising a signal input for receiving at least the encrypted content data. The decrypter is configured for decrypting the encrypted content data under the one or more second keys to provide decrypted content data. A key provider, preferably a hardware component, is provided in the device configured for receiving the one or more first keys from the secure module and for providing the one or more second keys to the decrypter using the one or more first keys.
Abstract:
Device (120), smart card (300) and method for selectively supplying access to a service (202) encrypted using a control word. A service (202) is received with an entitlement control message (ECM) (203) comprising authorization data and a specifier of a validity period of the authorization data. The service is decrypted only if the ECM (203) is found valid. The service (202) can be stored on a storage medium such as a DVD. An ECM transcoding module (211) obtains the authorization data from the ECM (203) supplies to writing means (215) a device-specific ECM comprising the authorization data. The device-specific ECM may be encrypted with a key specific to the device (120) and/or comprise an identifier for the device (120).
Abstract:
A data stream contains content data that can be decrypted using control words. ECM messages that are included in the stream and contain the control words that is required for decrypting nearby content data. EMM messages contain management information for entitling selected stream receiving devices to decrypt content data from the data stream using control words from ECM messages. Further management information is included in at least some of the the ECM messages. The secure device detects the further management information when the control words are supplied and tests whether the further management information is targeted at the stream receiving device (12). If so the secure device indefinitely disables subsequent decryption of at least part of the stream in the stream receiving device (12). In one embodiment, the further management information is targeted by means of a specified condition on entitlement information stored in the secure device. The secure device tests whether any of it's entitlement information meets this condition and, if so, disables supply of valid control words.
