Definitions

  • the present invention is related to a system for securing distribution of multimedia information content, such as video and audio carried by any digital distribution system such as telephone systems, computer networks, television networks or video discs.
  • the system according to the present invention it is ensured that the content only is presented in an analogue format with a reduced quality, if the content should be copied or sampled to some other illegitimate storage device. Furthermore it is an object of the present invention to encrypt the multimedia content in such a way that, a digital decryption without the proper decrypting and decoding equipment, if the encryption scheme is broken or keys are compromised, will result in distorted audio, video or other analogue output.
  • Yet another object of the present invention is to enable a secure storage of content in a receiver, as to retain all authorization data for the distribution. This implies that if a user has been given a one week viewing authorization of a movie, the movie will not be viewable after that time even if it is stored on the receiver's disk at the beginning of the week.
  • the system according to the present invention principally is divided in two parts, a sending side or transmitter, and a receiving side, a receiver.
  • the sending side contains the necessary equipment to generate keys, distort the signal carrying the content, encrypt the signal, multiplex the keys and the encrypted signal and distribute the resulting encrypted digital output signal to the end user.
  • the receiving side is an one-chip solution, providing key extractions, decryption, decoding and digital to analogue conversion. The only figure discloses schematically one embodiment of a complete system according to the present invention.
  • An input signal can enter the sending side in different analogue or digital formats. If the signal needs to be distorted in the system (i.e. not pre-distorted) it will enter a distortion unit 10 and will be distorted Under the control of a distortion key Kl coming from a key generator 14. The distortion can be viewed as a process for distorting the signal in such a way that it will be more or less recovered in the digital/analogue
  • the distortion unit 19 may also contain an analogue to digital converter (A/D) if the distortion unit supports analogue input. From (After) the distortion unit the distorted signal enters an encoder 11 for encoding (that encode the signal) according to current encoding standards such as MPEG.
  • the key generator 14 also generates pseudorandom keys K2 on a regular basis that will be used for encryption of the encoded signals in an encryptor 12.
  • the keys Kl and K2 and data for managing the access rights are then assembled into packets in the key generator 14.
  • the packet is encrypted with a key K3 that the user shares with a sender.
  • the packet is then inserted into the content data stream in the multiplexer 13 and thus sent to the user.
  • the receiving side receives the data stream that consists of encrypted content, access rights, the keys or any combination thereof. If the appropriate keys for decryption already exist in the key store 21, the keys Kl, K2 or K3 need not to follow the data stream. Pre-distribution of encrypted content for storage in the optional storage combined with later distribution of keys is also possible.
  • the data stream enter a de-multiplexer 16 part of a chip for eventually extracting the keys and access right packets and send them to the key decryptor 20.
  • the key decryptor (20) then decrypts the keys using an appropriate key that is stored in the chip.
  • the extracted key is then stored in a chip's key store 21 for later use as decryption key for key packets, access right packets or content.
  • the content less the keys and access rights packets is decrypted in a decryptor 17 using the appropriate key from the chip's key store 21. After decryption the decrypted content is decoded in a decoder 18 and sent to the digital to analogue converter 19.
  • the digital to analogue converter 19 is a special purpose unit that uses information from the key packet to remove the distortion added in the distortion unit 10 in the first transmitter stage (10). The purpose of this special digital to analogue converter 19 (D/A) is to make it difficult to make pirate-decoding devices even if the encryption scheme is broken.
  • the analogue output from the digital to analogue converter 19 is fed into the input/output part of the receiver.
  • the input/output part can be any signal from an audio card in a PC to an integrated amplifier in a Set-Top-Box for a video on demand application.
  • the system according to the present invention is not designed to use any particular encryption scheme and can use any algorithm that gives the necessary level of security. Since the receiver is implemented in a single chip unit and is designed to resist intrusion, the security will not be dependant of other parts of the system in which the chip is used.
  • a system is envisaged to enable secure distribution and storage of multimedia content in such way that only authorized users can have access to retrieve the content.
  • the transmission of the content to the user is digitalized but the integrated content decoding and conversion gives only analogue output and thereby prevents digital copying.
  • the distributed digital data are in the form of an encrypted combination of the digital content and added access control information.
  • the present invention further provides a possibility to distort the analogue signal to a certain degree.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un système sécurisé comportant un côté émetteur et un côté récepteur, destiné à la distribution, au stockage et à la récupération conditionnelle de contenu multimédia. Ce système comprend une solution monopuce permettant de décrypter le contenu dans un dispositif de décryptage (17) à l'aide d'une clé adaptée conservée dans une mémoire de clés (21) de la puce, de décoder le contenu décrypté dans un dispositif de décodage (18), de transmettre le contenu décrypté et décodé à un convertisseur numérique-analogique (19), le convertisseur numérique-analogique utilisant des informations contenues dans un paquet de clé pour éliminer les distorsions ajoutées dans une première étape de transmission (10), et, enfin, de fournir le signal de sortie analogique du convertisseur numérique-analogique (19) à une entrée-sortie d'un récepteur pour qu'elles soient présentées.
