| 20080263198 | Device and method using non-cycle accurate measurements for discovering emulated clients - A method for discovering emulated clients. A verifier sends a cryptographic challenge C to a client and preferably starts a timer. The client uses a deterministic key search algorithm to find the correct key and returns the result as a number of tries needed. The verifier then stops the timer if this was started and verifies that the result is correct and preferably that the response was timely. Also provided is a verifier. | 10-23-2008 |
| 20090240938 | Device, System and Method for Service Delivery with Anti-Emulation Mechanism - A method for service delivery to a client, in which the client selects a service, and establishes a connection with a system server to which it sends an identity associated with the client and an identifier of the service. The system server verifies that the client is authorised to access to the service and that the client is non-emulated. If this is verified, the service is provided to the client. In a preferred embodiment, the service is scrambled content and the system server provides a descrambling key to the client, and instructs a content server to provide the scrambled content to the client. Also claimed are a device, a system, and a system server. | 09-24-2009 |
| 20100146297 | Method and system digital for processing digital content according to a workflow - A method of processing digital content according to a workflow. The digital content is received and information for the workflow is checked to decide if a processing device is authorised to process the content, the workflow imposing that the digital content be processed in a process chain comprising at least two nodes, wherein the processing device is authorised to process the content if it corresponds to the node that according to the process chain is the next node to process the digital content. If the processing device is authorised to process the content, the digital content is processed and the information for the workflow is updated. Also provided is a system. | 06-10-2010 |
| 20100146298 | Method and system for processing digital content according to a workflow - A method of processing digital content following a workflow. A processing device receives the digital content and a license for the digital content, the license comprising workflow information about a process chain, which comprises a present node and a following node; decrypts the license; verifies if it may process the content by verifying if it corresponds to the present node. If the processing device may process the digital content, it processes the digital content to obtain processed content and generates a new license comprising updated workflow information, wherein the following node is set as a new present node. Also provided is a processing device. | 06-10-2010 |
| 20100192231 | MEDIA PACKAGE, SYSTEM COMPRISING A MEDIA PACKAGE AND METHOD OF EXECUTING PROGRAM CODE - A media package storing program code, the media package comprising a medium storing a first part of the program code intended to be executed on a processor external to the media package, and a processing device storing a state and a second part of the program code, the first and the second parts of the program code being adapted to interact when executed so as to execute the program code. The processing device comprises a processor for verifying the state and for executing the second part of the program code if the verification of the state indicates that this is authorised; and a first interface for communication with the processor external to the media package. The processing device further comprises a second interface adapted to interact with a state change device in order to set the state from a first state not authorising execution of second part of the program code to a second state authorising execution of second part of the program code. The second interface is a Radio Frequency interface adapted to, when the media package is in the first state, interact with at least one anti-theft portal. Also provided is a system. | 07-29-2010 |
| 20100274948 | COPY-PROTECTED SOFTWARE CARTRIDGE - A cartridge preferably for use with a game console. The cartridge comprises a ROM, a non-volatile memory, a processor and a dispatcher. An application running on the console may communicate with the dispatcher using predefined addresses, which enables the dispatcher to access the ROM, the non-volatile memory, or the processor, as the case may be. The invention improves on the prior art copy protection as no generic copy method may be found if the addresses are changed from one cartridge to another. In addition, to copy the software, the processor must be emulated. | 10-28-2010 |
