20090161864BLOCK CIPHER ARIA SUBSTITUTION APPARATUS AND METHOD - A block cipher ARIA substitution apparatus, the apparatus includes a first Sbox operation unit for performing operations of a substitution box S06-25-2009
20090316887DATABASE ENCRYPTION AND QUERY METHOD KEEPING ORDER WITHIN BUCKET PARTIALLY - A database encryption and query method keeping an order within a bucket partially, which encrypts and stores numeric data in a database, includes calculating a relative value of a plaintext within a bucket to which the plaintext is allocated; generating a first key value by producing a random number within the bucket; generating a second key value for defining a function having a bucket range of the bucket as an input; and changing the relative value based on the first and the second key value with keeping an order of the relative value partially to store the changed relative value. The first key value may be a value of separating order informations on the relative value. Further, the second key value may be a resultant value obtained by applying a mod 2 operation to the bucket size of the bucket.12-24-2009
20100135488SVC ENCRYPTION APPARATUS AND METHOD AND CONTENTS PROVIDING SYSTEM AND METHOD - An SVC encryption apparatus includes: an encoding/encryption unit for performing SVC (Scalable Video Coding) encoding on input data contents and carrying out encryption for data in accordance with a first encryption condition to generate a corresponding SVC bitstream; and a NAL (Network Adaptation Layer) data analysis unit for analyzing NAL data of the generated SVC bitstream to find out NAL data satisfying a second encryption condition. Further, the SVC encryption apparatus includes a conditional NAL data encryption unit for encrypting the extracted NAL data in accordance with the second encryption condition; and a bitstream transmitting unit for transmitting the SVC bitstream with encrypted NAL data.06-03-2010
20110145560ADAPTIVE SECURITY POLICY BASED SCALABLE VIDEO SERVICE APPARATUS AND METHOD - An adaptive security policy based scalable video service apparatus includes a video streaming server, an adaptive security policy server and a terminal. The video streaming server receives a service demand via a network and generates an encrypted streaming data. The adaptive security policy server analyzes a media structure and the service demand, by using a service profile received from the video streaming server, so as to generate a security policy description. The terminal generates and transmits the service demand to the video streaming server or the adaptive security server, obtains the encrypted streaming data from the video streaming server and decrypts the encrypted streaming data for playback, storing and retransmission.06-16-2011
20120159161AUTHENTICATION APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR NON-REAL-TIME IPTV SYSTEM - An authentication apparatus for a non-real-time IPTV system decrypts a first encrypted value included in a contents request message received from a device using a preset session key, and then verifies the validity of the contents request message. If the verification results of the contents request message are valid, the authentication apparatus encrypts a variation between timestamps of the authentication apparatus and the device using the session key, and then generates a second encrypted value. After verification information by which the device is capable of verifying the authentication apparatus has been generated using the second encrypted value, the authentication apparatus sends verification information, together with contents corresponding to the contents request message, to the device.06-21-2012
20120163594SECURITY LABEL GENERATION METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SCALABLE CONTENT DISTRIBUTION - A security label generation apparatus for scalable content distribution, includes a scalable content transmitter for receiving service level requirements of a user and network bandwidth information over a network and generating security labels and encrypted scalable units. Further, the security label generation apparatus includes a scalable content receiver for receiving the encrypted scalable units and the security labels from the scalable content transmitter and for decrypting, decoding, playing, modifying, storing or redistributing the encrypted scalable units based on the security labels. Furthermore, the security label generation apparatus includes scalable content storage for searching for scalable content and metadata corresponding to a request of the scalable content transmitter.06-28-2012
20120163595METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING LAYERED ACCESS CONTROL FOR SCALABLE MEDIA - An encryption method for providing layered access control for scalable media includes encrypting the scalable media using different encryption keys for respective layers of the scalable media to create a protected content; providing the protected content to a first user terminal; selectively inserting part or all of the encryption keys into a key area of a right object based on the grade of the first user terminal to generate a first right object; and providing the first right object to the first user terminal.06-28-2012

20110119024METHOD OF ESTIMATING POSITION OF MOBILE NODE IN WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORK - There is provided a method for estimating a position of a mobile node in a wireless sensor network. The method includes estimating a frequency offset between anchor nodes and estimating a difference between times when ranging frames from a mobile node are received by two anchor node, without use of a separate synchronization unit, such as a network synchronized clock supply unit that supplies a network synchronized clock via a cable, in a wireless sensor network, unlike a conventional method of estimating Time of Flight (TOF) using Two-Way Ranging (TWR) and Symmetric Double Sided-TWR (SDS-TWR) schemes. The estimated receiving time difference is directly applied to a Time Difference Of Arrival (TDOA) algorithm in order to estimate the position of the mobile node.05-19-2011
