<heading lvl="0">Abstract of Disclosure</heading> Before use, a population of tamper-resistant cryptographic enforcement devices is partitioned into groups and issued one or more group keys. Each tamper-resistant device contains multiple computational units to control access to digital content. One of the computational units within each tamper-resistant device communicates with another of the computational units acting as an interface control processor, and serves to protect the contents of a nonvolatile memory from unauthorized access or modification by other portions of the tamper-resistant device, while performing cryptographic computations using the memory contents. Content providers enforce viewing privileges by transmitting encrypted rights keys to a large number of recipient devices. These recipient devices process received messages using the protected processing environment and memory space of the secure unit. The processing result depends on whether the recipient device was specified by the content provider as authorized to view some encrypted digital content. Authorized recipient devices can use the processing result in decrypting the content, while unauthorized devices cannot decrypt the content. A related aspect of the invention provides for securing computational units and controlling attacks. For example, updates to the nonvolatile memory, including program updates, are supported and protected via a cryptographic unlocking and validation process in the secure unit, which can include digital signature verification.

In a data communication system, data is transmitted from a control device to a communication interface and from there via a communication bus to additional communication interfaces of trigger devices. The communication interface on the control device side has inputs, to which signals from said control device and a disarming switch can be assigned. The disarming switch can be circumvented by a bypass switch which is controlled by the control device. The state of the signal at the inputs of the communication interface on the control device side is transmitted to coresponding outputs of the communication interfaces of the triggger devices. A trigger device has a safety unit which is used to test at least one trigger unit, when the state of the signal of the outputs authorizes such a test and the trigger voltage source is not yet charged wth the full trigger voltage. In said state, the safety unit also blocks triggering as soon as the trigger voltage has been reached. The inventive system ensures a high degree of functional safety and flexibility.
