Abstract: A method for securely receiving a multimedia content by a client device operated by one or more operator(s) involving a dedicated provisioning server of a security provider managing symmetric secrets used by the client devices and operators license servers. The provisioning server provides to the client device one or more generations of operator specific unique device secrets, which are then exploited by the various operators' license servers to deliver licenses such that authorized client devices can consume protected multimedia contents.

Abstract: A method for data security implemented as an application on a device includes generating a request for one or more secret shares needed to reconstruct a key. The device stores a first secret share in its memory. The method also includes signing the request with a certificate that identifies the request as valid without identifying the device, and sending the request, signed with the certificate, to at least one other device. The method further includes receiving, from the at least one other device, the one or more secret shares, determining whether the one or more secret shares received from the at least one other device is sufficient to reconstruct the key, and reconstructing the key using the first secret share and the one or more secret shares upon determining that the one or more secret shares are sufficient to reconstruct the key.

Abstract: In overview, a computer-implemented method of transmitting data in a data stream from a first device to a second device is disclosed. The data stream is encrypted before transmission from the first device to the second device, and a location of the data in the data stream is indicated to the second device. The location may be a pre-shared location between the first and second devices, or the first device may transmit the location of the data to the second device. The second device decrypts the encrypted data stream, identifies the data in the data stream based on the location, and encrypts the identified data in the data stream.

Abstract: The disclosure provide methods and content consumption devices that enable a scene, for example a 360° scene, that is larger (i.e. has more pixels in at least one dimension) than a display format of the content consumption device to be displayed. Constituent scene views are received individually by the content consumption device, for example as broadcasts, and are combined, for example stitched together, at the content consumption device to output a part of the scene that fits in the display format. The part of the scene (and hence the required constituent streams) to be displayed are determined by a signal, for example a navigational input from a user, enabling the user to navigate in the scene.

Abstract: A media device receives a domain key from a service provider. The media device further encrypts media with a media key and encrypts the media key with the domain key to form an encrypted media token: the protected media key is encapsulated in an encrypted media token. The service provider may then receive the encrypted media token and one or more receiving entity identifiers relating to a receiving entity and ascertain whether the receiving entity is entitled to access media from the media device. If the receiving entity is entitled to access media from the media device, the service provider decrypts the cryptographic media token using the domain key to obtain the media key and providing the media key to the receiving entity. As such, an authenticated receiving entity may obtain the media key necessary to decrypt the media.

Abstract: A method for remotely programming a programmable device designed to provide an expected sensitive result. The method including transmitting a first program code to the programmable device, the first program code being configured to get at least one distinctive data unique and physically inherent to the programmable device, retrieving the distinctive data, and transmitting a second program code based on the retrieved distinctive data to the programmable device, so as to load the second program code into the programmable device.
