Embodiment Construction

[0008] The invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawing, which shows a broadcast application implementing an embodiment of the method according to the invention.

[0009] In the broadcasting application shown in Figure 1, three broadcasting devices 1-3 are coupled to a multiplexer unit 4, which includes scrambling, encoding and compression provided by said broadcasting devices 1-3 signal device. The resulting digital data stream is multiplexed into a digital transport stream, for example according to the MPEG-2 standard. The digital transport stream is modulated by a modulator 5 before transmission as shown in this embodiment. The operator of the equipment comprising the multiplexer unit 4 and the modulator 5 is responsible for transmitting the signal to public receiving equipment, such as a television set 6 shown by way of example. Transmission of said signals may be via one or more telecommunication channels including a satellite lin...

Abstract

In a method for operating a conditional access system for broadcast applications, which conditional access system comprising a number of subscribers, each subscriber having a terminal including a conditional acces s module (11) and a secure device (12) for storing entitlements, each entitlement indicating a service for which the subscriber receiving the entitlement is entitled to watch, entitlement management messages (EMM's) ar e sent to a secure device or group of secure devices. These EMM's each provide an entitlement and a corresponding expiry date, wherein the entitlements are refreshed periodically in accordance with their expiry dates by sending EMM' s updating the expiry dates. Further, a set of extension entitlement managemen t messages (extension EMM's) is sent to all secure devices, each message indicating that all entitlements having an expiry date within a predetermine d first period are extended with a predetermined second period, wherein the EMM's updating the expiry dates are sent after the extension EMM's.

Description

Technical field: [0001] The invention relates to a method for operating a conditional access system for broadcast applications, said conditional access system comprising a plurality of users, each user having a terminal comprising a conditional access module and a A security device that stores authorizations, each authorization indicates a service (program) that the user who receives the authorization is authorized to watch the service, where entitlement management messages (EMM's) are sent to a security device or a group of security devices, each The EMM's each provide an authorization and a corresponding expiry date, wherein the authorization is periodically refreshed according to its expiry date by sending EMM's that update the expiry date. Background technique: [0002] A known method of this type is used, for example, in a pay television broadcasting system. If updates or refreshed EMM's are not received by the due date, the Security Device will not allow access to the...
