Abstract

Selective encryption is provided in a process which includes: determining whether a predetermined criterion is satisfied; setting a selective encryption status field (1402) if the predetermined criterion is satisfied; and encrypting an unencrypted payload to generate an encrypted payload, and constructing a packet with the encrypted payload (1406), if the predetermined criterion is satisfied. The predetermined criterion may be one of several criteria, each of which reduce the required amount of encryption and decryption while maintaining a high level of security. Renewable encryption is provided in a process which includes: copying a first encrypted digital video program from a remote server to a video source; decrypting the first encrypted digital video program using a first key to generate an unencrypted digital video program; encrypting the unencrypted digital video program using a second key to generate a second encrypted digital video program; transmitting the second encrypted digital video program from the video source to the remote server;
and deleting the first encrypted digital video program from the remote server.

Claims (8)

1. A secure method for providing digital video programming, the method comprising:
copying a first encrypted digital video program from a remote server to a video source;
decrypting the first encrypted digital video program using a first key to generate an unencrypted digital video program;

encrypting the unencrypted digital video program using a second key to generate a second encrypted digital video program;

transmitting the second encrypted digital video program from the video source to the remote server; and deleting the first encrypted digital video program from the remote server.
2. The method of claim 1, wherein the first key corresponds to a first time epoch during which the remote server provides the first encrypted digital video program to subscriber stations, and the second key corresponds to a second time epoch during which the remote server provides the second encrypted digital video program to the subscriber stations.
3. The method of claim 2, further comprising, prior to deleting the first encrypted digital video program from the server, transitioning from the first time epoch to the second time epoch.
4. The method of claim 3, wherein the first and second time epochs do not correspond to billing cycles.
5. The method of claim 1, further comprising, prior to decrypting the first encrypted digital video program, scheduling the first encrypted digital video program for renewal of encryption.
6. The method of claim 1, further comprising, prior to copying the first encrypted digital video program, a process for introducing an initial encrypted digital video program to the remote server.
7. An apparatus for securely providing digital video programming, the apparatus comprising:

an encryption coordinator configured to receive a first encrypted digital video program from a remote server;

an encryptor configured to decrypt the first encrypted digital video program using a first key to generate an unencrypted digital video program and to encrypt the unencrypted digital video program using a second key to generate a second encrypted digital video program, wherein the encryption coordinator receives the second encrypted digital video program from the encryptor and transmits the second encrypted digital video program to the remote server
8. The apparatus of claim 7, wherein, prior to decrypting the first encrypted digital video program, the encryption coordinator schedules the first encrypted digital video program for renewal of encryption.
