[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 ...
