Problems solved by technology

[0019] The problem with the known method is that a delay occurs in the decryption device when transitioning from an advertisement to an encrypted content program signal in which the control words for the scrambled content program signal are cycled

Embodiment Construction

[0116] An overview of a system for implementing the methods described herein is given in FIG. 1 . The central head-end system 1 provides a first data stream, which is divided into segments corresponding to key periods.

[0117] Two specific applications are discussed in detail here. In the first application, the same clean content data is pre-encrypted several times to form multiple data streams pre-encrypted in different ways. Segments from two or more such pre-encrypted data streams are mixed to form a uniquely encrypted copy of the data stream. In the second application, the composition of the pre-encrypted content stream is adapted to different final receivers. An end receiver corresponds to an end user equipped with a receiver device comprising a descrambler, and an access token for providing the descrambler with the control word in unencrypted form. An access token corresponds to a security device such as a smart card. Said receiver systems are known per se and will ...

Abstract

A method of providing an encrypted data stream, includes obtaining a first data stream (17;41;63;78;92), partitioned into sections corresponding to key periods (18-22;45-48;71-74;80-84;96-99), each of a plurality of the key periods (18-22;45-48;71-74;80-84;96-99) being associated with a respective value of a key, wherein each section corresponding to a key period associated with a value of the key includes at least one encrypted data unit (10) decryptable using that associated key value, obtaining a sequence of key messages, at least some of which carry key information for obtaining at least one of the key values, obtaining a replacement data stream section (30-31; 42,43; 65,66; 85,86; 93,94), forming an encrypted output data stream (39; 44; 69; 88; 113), corresponding at least partially to the first data stream (17;41;63;78;92), by inserting the replacement data stream section so as to replace a corresponding part of the first data stream with a tail end of the replacement data stream section preceding at least part of a section of the first stream corresponding to a certain key period (21;48;71;83;99), and providing as output the encrypted output data stream (39;44;69;88;113) in synchrony with an associated stream (40;54;70;89;114) of key messages. A key message carrying key information for obtaining the key value associated with the certain key period (21;48;71;83;99) is included in the stream of key messages (40; 54; 70; 89; 114) so as to coincide with a point of the encrypted output data stream (39;44;69;88;113) preceding the tail end of the replacement data stream section. <SDOCL LA=EN> 36 CLAIMS 1. Method of providing an encrypted data stream, including obtaining a first data stream (17;41;63;78;92), partitioned into sections corresponding to key periods (18-22;45-48;71-74;80-84;96-99), each of a plurality of the key periods (18-22;45-48;71-74;80-84;96-99) being associated with a respective value of a key.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method of providing an encrypted data stream, comprising: [0002] Obtaining a first data stream divided into segments corresponding to key periods, each of a plurality of key periods associated with a corresponding key value, wherein each of the key periods corresponding to a key value a segment comprises at least one encrypted data unit, which can be decrypted using said associated key value, [0003] obtaining a sequence of key messages, at least some of which carry key information for obtaining at least one key value, [0004] get the replacement data stream segment, [0005] An encrypted output data stream is formed by inserting a replacement data stream segment, thereby replacing a corresponding portion of the first data stream segment with an end of a replacement data stream segment preceding at least a portion of the first stream segment corresponding to a particular key period, said encrypted output the data stream ...
