摘要:
A method of processing digital content performed by an apparatus for storing digital content. In the method, a hardware regional code extracted from a memory of a content storage device is compared with a firmware regional code extracted from firmware, and the digital content is selectively encrypted and stored according to a corresponding regional code only when the hardware regional code matches the firmware regional code.

Provided are a transport stream structure of image data, a transmitting and receiving apparatus and method thereof. A transport stream structure of image data includes a header compressed by a lossless compression algorithm; an additional information field for additional information of image data, the additional information field being generated based on compressing the header by using the lossless compression algorithm; and a payload including the image data. The transport stream structure of the image data, the transmitting and receiving apparatus and method thereof enables inserting the additional information without changing the size of the related art transport stream structure of the image data.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for protecting digital content stored in a universal serial bus (USB) mass storage (UMS) device from unlimited distribution are provided. According to the method and apparatus, a UMS device generates a random key according to a request from a user and shows the generated random key to the user, and then, by using the random key, registration data is encrypted. Accordingly, only a USB host that registers the UMS device after the user connects the USB host directly to the UMS device, can freely use digital content of the UMS device, and even if encrypted registration data of the UMS is leaked out, unauthorized devices cannot register the UMS device.
摘要:
Provided is a method of preventing digital content from being used despite the presence of copy control information. In the method, a security apparatus capable of restricting use of contents generates a nonce with respect to a storage device and stores the nonce in the storage device and a memory separated from the storage device when content is stored in the storage device; updates the nonces stored in the memory and storage device when movement of the content occurs; and permits use of the content only when the nonce of the storage device, which is stored in the memory, is equal to the nonce stored in the storage device if the content is requested for use, thereby preventing a disk cloning attack.
摘要:
A method of managing and restoring an identifier of a storage device and an apparatus therefor are provided. The method includes the operations of generating a storage device identifier; recording the storage device identifier in a non-volatile memory of a host; generating an identifier file including the storage device identifier and a host identifier; and recording the identifier file in the storage device. By doing so, the method and apparatus can efficiently and securely manage the storage device.
摘要:
A digital content protection apparatus and method for digital rights management (DRM) are provided in which a content file including a plurality of content parts is imported such that a header is included which stores location information required for decoding each of the content parts. Therefore, the number of content parts constituting the content file can be recognized, and a license that is required for the use of each of the content parts can be acquired by analyzing header information without necessitating the parsing of the transport packets of the content file. Accordingly, preparation time for using content can be reduced.
摘要:
Provided are a method and apparatus for acquiring data regarding a domain for the protection of digital content, and more particularly, a method and apparatus for acquiring domain information and domain-related data in which content received from an external source is converted into content that complies with a set of rules of a digital rights management (DRM) system and a license for the use of the result of the conversion is issued by receiving domain information including a domain key identifier from a domain information providing apparatus and receiving an updated domain key that is a valid domain key currently being used in a domain from a DRM object providing apparatus.
摘要:
A method of packaging broadcast contents are provided. The method includes: extracting a copy control bit from input broadcast contents and determining whether the broadcast contents will be stored after being encrypted based on the extracted copy control bit; creating usage rule information which includes an encryption method of the broadcast contents if it is determined that the broadcast contents will be stored after being encrypted; extracting the copy control bit from each new broadcast content sequentially input and detecting broadcast contents which include copy control bits indicating that the broadcast contents will be stored without being encrypted; and encrypting the input broadcast contents through the broadcast contents before the detected broadcast contents using the encryption method and packaging and storing the encrypted broadcast contents and the usage rule information. Therefore, the unauthorized copying of broadcast contents transmitted through a digital broadcast receiver can be prevented.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for encrypting or decrypting digital content are provided. In the method, a binding range is selected from a plurality of binding ranges of content use based on license information of the content, and the content is encrypted based on the selected binding range so that the content can be used only within the selected binding range. Accordingly, it is possible to limit content use to a plurality of binding ranges of use of the content, using license information of the content.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for protecting digital content in a digital rights management (DRM) system are provided. The method includes: determining a usage rule for content included in a first content file based on usage constraint information included in the first content file; and generating a second content file complying with this usage rule. According to the method and apparatus, the security requirement of content creators and content providers can be satisfied and at the same time the requirement of content consumers for freer usage can be satisfied.
