The invention discloses an inter
cut prevention method for a terrestrial
digital television. The inter
cut prevention method comprises the following steps: a first step, a
beacon flow generator in a transmitting terminal device obtains a standard UTC time through a built-in Beidou time
service module at first, and then carries out signature and
encryption processing on a
timestamp to generate an inter
cut prevention
beacon flow based on a credible
timestamp; a second step, a video
multiplexer in the transmitting terminal device integrates the inter cut prevention
beacon flow with other program beacon flows and then transmits the same to a receiving end terminal through a transmission link; and a third step, a set-top box in the receiving end terminal obtains the inter cut prevention beacon flow based on the credible
timestamp, decrypts and verifies the inter cut prevention beacon flow based on the credible timestamp, compares a local
system time with a decrypted and verified timestamp, if the time
delay exceeds a preset threshold, the set-top box has an inter cut
attack and stops playing; and otherwise, the set-top box normally plays the program. The inter cut prevention method for the terrestrial
digital television disclosed by the invention is used for protecting the security of a communication network of the
digital television and preventing inter cut of illegal signals.
