Method for controlling access privileges for encrypted data stored in a digital recorder. RU patent 2316135.

FIELD: receivers/decoders of services, provided in conditional access mode, in particular, receivers having storage block (memorization device), such as a hard drive.

SUBSTANCE: method is claimed for storing an event, encrypted with usage of at least one control word (CW) in receiver/decoder (STB), connected to safety block (SC), where at least one control word and access privileges for aforementioned event are contained in access control messages (ECM-messages), method includes following operations: recording of encrypted event, and also of at least one ECM-message in storage block; transmission of at least one ECM-message into safety block (SC), verification of the fact that safety block (SC) contains access privileges for aforementioned event, generation of receipt (Q), which contains data related to management of event in reproduction mode, where receipt (Q) contains signature (SGN), generated on basis of the whole ECM-message or its part with usage of secret key (K) contained in safety block (SC) and specific for every safety block, where during later consumption of event the authenticity of the receipt (Q) is verified in prioritized manner compared to conventional access privileges, stored in safety block (SC), storage of aforementioned receipt (Q) in storage block.

EFFECT: provision of method for storing an event.

Digital content distribution system / 2308079
Method is provided for generation of digital data with cryptographic protection, encoding content and composed into messages. Encoding of at least a part of the message is performed and encoded messages are provided in form of output signal in format, allowing the interface of server service to compose a message in form of at least one packet, including at least one header and useful load, where at least one header includes information, which allows the service interface in the client to assemble each message for decoding application using useful load of packets. Each message is divided onto the first and at least one additional section of the message. At least one of the message sections is encoded in such a way that it may be decoded independently from other message sections. Assembly of encrypted message is performed by addition of resynchronization marker, separating the message section from adjacent message section and including precise information about synchronization, at least for additional sections of the message.

System and method for processing a stream of audio/video data for protecting data from copying / 2300851
Audio/video stream processing system includes module for inputting audio/video stream, which receives audio/video stream, containing field of information about audio/video content, including first copy control information, and audio/video content field, including second copy control information; reading module which extracts first and second copy control information from received audio/video stream and determines whether first copy control information is modified; and module for decoding audio/video stream, which processes received audio/video stream in accordance to predetermined criteria, if first copy control information is modified.

Receiving device for protective preservation of a unit of content and reproduction device / 2290767
In accordance to invention, in receiving device 110 for protected preservation of unit 102 of content on carrier 111 of information unit 102 of content is stored in protected format and has associated license file, file 141 of license being encrypted with usage of open key, associated with a group of reproduction devices 120,121, and, thus, each reproduction device 121 in group can decrypt file 141 of license and reproduce unit 102 of content, and devices not belonging to group can not do that, while device 121 for reproduction may provide the open key, specific for given device, to system for controlling content distribution, and then system for controlling content distribution returns secret key for group, encrypted with open key of device 121 for reproduction, after that device 121 of reproduction by protected method receives secret key of group and may decrypt file 141 of license.

Device and method for decoding digital signals of image and sound / 2257686
Device for storing information is made with possible receipt of data carrier, decoder is made with possible receipt of compressed encoded signals from data carrier and transmitting signals to decrypter. Decrypter is made with possible decryption of compressed encoded data encrypted data and transmitting these to decompressor. Decompressor is made with possible receipt of compressed encoded signals from decrypter and decompression of compressed encoded signals to reproduce the image.

Broadcasting and receiving messages / 2257685
Method includes broadcasting of message, including text portion intended to reach user, while said message is transferred in form of conditional access message.

Device and method for encoding and storing digital images and sound signals / 2257015
Device converts signals to digital video information. Compression device is made in such a way, that it receives digital video data, coming from source data generator, and compresses digital images. Encoding device receives compressed digital video data coming from compression device and encodes compressed digital video data. Recording device stores encoded compressed digital audio data at data carrier.

Signal processing method and device / 2253189
Proposed signal processing method involves reception of digital input signal incorporating first component of scrambled signal and second component of scrambled signal; binding of input signal with detachable intelligent card unit for processing first scrambled signal component and generation of first descrambled signal which is internal with respect to intelligent card unit and for processing second scrambled signal component in case of response to first descrambled signal to generate second descrambled signal and to integrate first scrambled signal component of input signal and second descrambled signal so as to produce output signal; reception of output signal from intelligent card unit and processing of second descrambled signal to shape signal adapted for display.
