A software program is configured in accordance with a software aging process such that one or more files generated by the program are at least partially encrypted using a cryptographic key associated with a current time interval for which the files are generated. The cryptographic key may be a symmetric key used for both encryption and decryption operations, such that cryptographic key used for encryption in a given interval is also required to decrypt files encrypted during that interval. Periodic updates of the software program are provided to a legitimate user of the software program, with a given one of the updates including a different cryptographic key associated with a subsequent time interval. The cryptographic key associated with a particular one of the time intervals may be common to each of a set of legitimate copies of the software program that have received the corresponding version of the periodic update. The variation of the cryptographic keys from one interval to another discourages unauthorized use of the software program by deliberately requiring both legitimate and illegitimate users to request unusually frequent updates, thereby substantially increasing the tracing and prosecution risks borne by software pirates.

A system is described for uniquely mating components of a communication network such as a smartcard and a set-top box. When mated, the smartcard and set-top box are tied together and have a single identity. Further, the smartcard operates properly only when inserted into an authorized set-top box. Exchanges of information between both components are secured by encryption and authentication to guard against piracy of the exchanged information. The system provides the same authentication key to the set-top box and the smartcard. This key is used for authenticating communication between the set-top box and the smartcard. First, the authentication key is encrypted by a set-top box mating key. The set-top box employs this mating key to decrypt the authentication key. After it is derived, the authentication key is stored in the set-top box's memory. Further, the same authentication key is encrypted by a smartcard mating key. Thereafter, the smartcard employs the smartcard mating key to extract the authentication key. The clear authentication key is stored in the smartcard's memory as well. In this manner, the authentication key is used for securing all communication between the set-top box and the smart-card. For example, the set-top box may request control words from the smartcard. Only after authenticating the request, are the control words for decrypting digital content provided to the set-top box. If the smartcard authentication key is different from the set-top box key, the request for control words is denied.

This invention discloses a method of protecting copyright of a digital video work by using a digital password technology and a digital watermark technology to prevent the unauthorized use of a digital video work.
