Todor Stefanov 2nd supervisor: Dr. Teddy Zhai 2nd reader: Dr. Kristian Rietveld MASTER'S THESIS Leiden Institute of Advanced Computer Science (LIACS) Leiden University Niels Bohrweg 1 2333 CA Leiden The Netherlands Acknowledgments First of all I want to thank Teddy Zhai who helped and supported my throughout the work of this thesis. Even after he already left the company, where I was working on this project, he guided me and helped me to finish. Without him this would not have been possible. Also I want to thank Vladimir Zivkovic for giving me this project which gave me the opportunity to finish my master program. Further I want to thank Irdeto B.V. for giving me the time and equipment, especially the access to the ST platform, which allowed me to conduct the experiments for this thesis. Last but not least I want to thank Todor Stefanov and Kristian Rietveld for giving my advice and for their patience. 1 Abstract In the Broadcasting and Over-The-Top media-service industries, video content which is delivered to the customer needs to be secured by encrypting or scrambling the content. The content then needs to be decrypted or unscrambled at the end-users location. A common technique is to use a hardware device which includes a secret key for the cryptographic operations. Many television providers use a Set-top Box (STB) which is installed at the end-users home to execute this task.

    Rep. ITU-R BT.2070 1 REPORT ITU-R BT.2070 Broadcasting of content protection signalling for television (2006) 1 Introduction This Report comprises a report on the current “state of the art” of digital content protection for broadcast television and related services. Recent rapid evolution in the nature of consumer use of broadcast and internet services has changed many of the old assumptions made by broadcasters and television equipment manufacturers. Television broadcasts can now be easily recorded using high-capacity personal video recorders (PVRs), and this content can now be shared with others over high-speed internet connections or by burning to high-capacity removable media such as DVDs. Old assumptions that a set-top-box connects to a single, display-only, television set are fading fast. Consumers are increasingly aware of alternative ways to enjoy broadcast content, and are always looking for newer and more rewarding experiences. Accordingly, there is an urgent need for content owners and broadcasters to balance the need to protect their investment with potential loss of acceptability to an educated and technically knowledgeable user community. 1.1 Background Working Party 6M (WP 6M) has determined that a compendium of information should be disseminated and carried forward in preparation for a Report on this subject area. Building upon the initial work of previous meetings of WP 6M, it was determined that in order to develop principles which can safeguard the interests of broadcasters and the public in copy protection signalling for television, a number of topics need to be addressed. To this end, WP 6M has begun to develop a content protection model as described below.

  • An Identity Management Infrastructure for Secure Personalized IPTV Services
    An Identity Management Infrastructure for Secure Personalized IPTV Services Daniel Díaz Sánchez1,*, Florina Almenárez1, Andrés Marín1, Eugen Mikoczy2, 3 3 Peter Weik , and Thomas Magedanz 1 Telematic Engineering Department, Carlos III University of Madrid Avda. Universidad, 30, 28911 Leganés (Madrid), Spain 2 Slovak University of Technology, (Bratislava), Slovakia 3 Technische Universität Berlin, (Berlin), Germany Abstract. This article focus on IPTV security and IPTV service personalization by the introduction of an Identity Provider as new participant in IPTV service provision that deals with authentication, user profile and device profile management. The Identity Provider, integrated as part of the Telco operator, would provider user profiles with a wider scope than application specific profiles, enabling high personalization of services and improvement of user experience. Paper gives overview about existing IPTV security technologies but also describe novel architecture for secure personalized NGN based IPTV services. Keywords: IPTV security, IdM, NGN based IPTV. 1 Introduction IPTV is envisioned as the next step in user’s TV experience with a provision of highly personalized services ranging from linear television, video on demand (VoD), near video on demand (n-VoD), personal video record (PVR) to advance blended services as messaging, chatting, presence and web 2.0 mashups. Traditional broadcast-only content protection, as DVB Conditional Access [1], can not authorize users before they acquire the signal so contents are protected before delivered over the air. In this scenario, user authentication and content protection are performed entirely by the customer’s hardware. DVB’s major drawback is the absence of the concept of “user” that is substituted by the concept of customer (subscription).
