20080267398 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ASSISTING WITH CONTENT KEY CHANGES - A process may be utilized by the DVR. The process receives a plurality of segments of a set of content and a plurality of corresponding content rule sets. Further, the process provides one or more instructions to record and encrypt the plurality of segments of the set of content on a storage medium. In addition, the process provides the plurality of content rule sets to the DRM component to be inserted into a locally generated and secured content license associated with the encryption of the set of content. The secured content license includes a master key and a list of the plurality of corresponding content rule sets that have been received in order of reception. The process receives a plurality of marker tokens from the DRM component in order to facilitate trick mode playback. | 10-30-2008 |
20100318791 | CERTIFICATE STATUS INFORMATION PROTOCOL (CSIP) PROXY AND RESPONDER - Systems and methods are disclosed for providing certificate status information about a certificate includes receiving, at a Certificate Status Information Protocol (CSIP) proxy device the certificate identity information about the certificate of the second device. Then determining, using the CSIP proxy device, whether the certificate status information is stored in a CSIP proxy device memory. If the certificate status information is not stored in the CSIP proxy device memory, creating a CSIP request based on the certificate identity information and sending the CSIP request, including the certificate identity information, to a CSIP responder computer outside the local network domain. If the certificate status information is stored in the CSIP proxy device memory, sending the certificate status information to the first device. Also, a system and method are disclosed for using a CSIP responder computer. | 12-16-2010 |
20110075841 | DIGITAL RIGHTS MANAGEMENT PROTECTION FOR CONTENT IDENTIFIED USING A SOCIAL TV SERVICE - A method is provided for viewing a bookmarked video clip. The method includes establishing communication over a broadband network with a first network element on which at least one bookmark resides. The bookmark includes metadata identifying a bookmarked video clip of a video program and specifies a network address at which the bookmarked video clip is located. Upon user request, metadata associated with a specified bookmark is received. Communication is established with a second network element on which the specified bookmarked video clip is located using the network address of the specified bookmarked video clip provided in the metadata. The bookmarked video clip is received from the second network element. The bookmarked video clip is encrypted in accordance with a digital rights management scheme. The bookmarked video clip is decrypted and rendered. | 03-31-2011 |
20110235801 | SECURE TRANSCODING OF CONTENT - A source device determines content rights for encrypted content in the first encoding standard using a first rights data file. The source device creates a second rights data file for transcoded content in the second encoding standard. The source device performs a key management operation including communicating a decryption key for the encrypted content in the first encoding standard to a transcoder. The source device transfers the encrypted content in the first encoding standard to the transcoder. The transcoder decrypts the encrypted content, transcodes the content from the first encoding standard to the content in the second encoding standard, and re-encrypts the content in the second encoding standard using a second encryption key. The transcoder then transfers the encrypted content in the second encoding standard to an indicated device. | 09-29-2011 |
20120011571 | Method And Apparatus For Cross DRM Domain Registration - A content moving device may provide content to plurality of different user devices using a plurality of different DRM systems. The content moving device provides for registration of the DRM systems associated with the user devices. The content moving device may verify a user device by a DRM ID associated with the user device. A domain size may be used to limit the number of content user devices that may be approved for access. | 01-12-2012 |
20120166799 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SECURELY MOVING CONTENT - A domain controller is provided for use with a content source and a media device. The content source can provide encrypted content and rights data corresponding to the encrypted content. The media device can provide a request for the encrypted content and the rights data. The domain controller includes a communication portion, a digital rights management portion and a memory portion. The communication portion can engage in a first bi-directional communication with the content source and can engage in a second bi-directional communication with the media device. The digital rights management portion can receive the rights data. The memory portion can store the encrypted content. The second bi-directional communication includes an authorization and authentication communication between the communication portion and the media device, a secure move message exchange between the communication portion and the media device and a content download from the communication portion to the media device. | 06-28-2012 |
20120246462 | SYSTEM AND METHODS FOR PROVIDING LIVE STREAMING CONTENT USING DIGITAL RIGHTS MANAGEMENT-BASED KEY MANAGEMENT - In the present disclosure, a DRM (in this case IPRM) system may be used to deliver media content keys to a player device in a live streaming environment and take advantage of all DRM related functionalities that come with it, such as proximity control, copy protection enforcement and rights verification. A playlist may be used to deliver a key identifier for encrypted live streaming content. | 09-27-2012 |
20140019952 | SECURE METHOD OF ENFORCING CLIENT CODE VERSION UPGRADE IN DIGITAL RIGHTS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - A method for enforcing a software upgrade for software operable on a device includes receiving, at the device, a message including software-version information for the software from a domain controller. The software-version information indicates a list of approved versions of the software. The method includes determining, by the device, the software-version information from the message, and determining a current version of the software included on the device by performing a comparison of versions in the list of approved versions to the current version of the software on the device. If the current version of the software is not included in the list of approved versions, the method includes causing the device to not have or use a set of up-to-date security credentials for a set of content servers, for accessing any pieces of media on the set of content servers until the device has an approved version of the software. | 01-16-2014 |
20140270161 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SECURE STORAGE AND RETRIEVAL OF LIVE OFF DISK MEDIA PROGRAMS - A method and system are provided for securely storing and retrieving live off-disk media programs. Events delineate media segments, each of which are encrypted with a different key so as to be streamable to a remote device via digital living network alliance (DLNA) or HTTP live streaming protocols. Media segments and identifiers for managing the storage and retrieval of such media segments are compatible with live streaming data structures, obviating the need to re-encrypt data streams. | 09-18-2014 |
