Accompanying drawing explanation
In the description combined and the accompanying drawing forming a part for specification shows embodiments of the invention, and illustrate that one is used from and explains principle of the present invention together with it.
Fig. 1 is the schematic block diagram of an example of the Set Top Box of prior art.
Fig. 2 is the schematic block diagram of an example according to Set Top Box of the present invention.
Embodiment
Various exemplary embodiment of the present invention is described in detail now with reference to accompanying drawing.It should be noted that: unless specifically stated otherwise, otherwise positioned opposite, the numerical expression of the parts of setting forth in these embodiments and step and numerical value do not limit the scope of the invention.
Illustrative to the description only actually of at least one exemplary embodiment below, never as any restriction to the present invention and application or use.
May not discuss in detail for the known technology of person of ordinary skill in the relevant, method and apparatus, but in the appropriate case, described technology, method and apparatus should be regarded as a part for specification.
In all examples with discussing shown here, any occurrence should be construed as merely exemplary, instead of as restriction.Therefore, other example of exemplary embodiment can have different values.
It should be noted that: represent similar terms in similar label and letter accompanying drawing below, therefore, once be defined in an a certain Xiang Yi accompanying drawing, then do not need to be further discussed it in accompanying drawing subsequently.
Fig. 2 shows the schematic block diagram of an example according to Set Top Box of the present invention.
As shown in Figure 2, Set Top Box 1002 comprises system software module 2002, digital television application module 2003, CAS module 2004a, 2004b.Digital television application module 2003 is run by system software module 2002.
In addition, system software module 2002 also comprises library module 2008, the storehouse for storing, needed for management system operation.Driver module 2005, interface module 2006, descrambling module 2009, filtering module 2010 etc. can also be comprised in Set Top Box 2001.Driver module 2005 is for each interface of driving machine top box.Interface module 2006 is such as accepting CAS smart card 2007.These modules are all well known in the prior art, therefore, are here not described in detail.
It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that, above-mentioned module can be realized by various mode.Such as, digital television application module, CAS module etc. can be realized by instruction configuration processor.Such as, instruction can be stored in ROM, and when starting the device, instruction be read programming device from ROM and realizes digital television application module, CAS module etc.Such as, digital television application module, CAS module etc. can be cured in dedicated devices (such as ASIC).Digital television application module, CAS module separate unit can be divided into, or they realization can be combined.Above-mentioned module can be realized by the one in above-mentioned various implementation, or can be realized by the combination of two or more modes in above-mentioned various implementation.
In Set Top Box according to the present invention, at least one CAS module can be set, such as, CAS module 2004a, 2004b.Described at least one CAS module need not compile and be linked at one with system software module 2002 and digital television application module 2003 and video.Such as, at least one CAS module described is loaded in transient memory.When needed, described at least one CAS module 2004a, 2004b can be called by digital television application module 2003, for broadcasting Digital Television.
Because CAS module and system software module 2002 and digital television application module 2003 are what to be separated, therefore, there is disabled user and CAS module is changed, with the risk of fraud system software module 2002 or digital television application module 2003.Therefore, in order to prevent this deception, the hashed value of CAS module can be utilized verify, to determine whether to run CAS module.
Such as, described digital television application module 2003 can be configured to the hashed value at least partially calculating CAS module.According to the present invention, the hashed value of whole CAS module can be calculated, also only can calculate the hashed value of its part (such as key component).Described digital television application module 2003 verifies CAS module by described hashed value, to determine whether to run this CAS module.
In one example in which, described digital television application module 2003 can be configured to the hashed value at least partially prestoring described CAS module.Such as, described hashed value sends to Set Top Box 2001 by network, or by memory transfer such as USB flash disks to Set Top Box 2001.Described digital television application module 2003 verifies CAS module based on stored hashed value and the hashed value calculated.Such as, stored hashed value and the hashed value calculated compare by described digital television application module 2003.If the two is consistent, then allow to run this CAS module; Otherwise, do not allow to run this CAS module.
In another example, described digital television application module 2003 can send to authentication server the hashed value calculated, for checking.In the present case, if described digital television application module 2003 directly sends described hashed value, may there is the risk intercepted by disabled user, therefore, described hashed value can be sent out with the first cipher mode.Such as, described first cipher mode comprises at least one in symmetric cryptography mode and asymmetric encryption mode.
Further, for preventing disabled user from directly intercepting the hashed value after encryption, personation validated user, in described first cipher mode, can use stirring factor pair key to stir.The described stirring factor is such as at least one in time, coordinate, the network address.In this way, due to for same content, ciphertext can change according to different factors (time, coordinate, the network address etc.), therefore, adds the difficulty that disabled user carries out palming off.
In Set Top Box, described CAS module is configured to communicate with CAS smart card, to determine whether to run access Digital Television.But as a rule, the interface of CAS smart card and Set Top Box is the ISO7816 interface of standard.Therefore, disabled user intercepts the communication between CAS module and CAS smart card easily via the described interface of monitoring, thus cheats.In order to prevent this situation, the second cipher mode can be used to be encrypted (such as, relevant to the mandate of the access part) at least partially in described communication.
Further, in order to further increase the difficulty that disabled user carries out cracking and cheating, such as, described second cipher mode also can comprise using and stirs factor pair key and stir.The described stirring factor is at least one in time, coordinate, the network address.
