Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for sharing entropy between an entropy broker and various devices are shown. The entropy broker receives a communication from a client. Responsive to determining that the client provided entropy, the entropy broker processes the provided entropy and responsive to determining that the client requested entropy, the entropy broker adds the client to an entropy queue.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for managing entitlements in a broadcast stream are disclosed. The method includes receiving a manifest containing program information for a program in the broadcast stream, with the program information providing a program entitlement block. The method uses entitlements specified in the program entitlement block to enforce entitlements for the program.
