Abstract: Devices, servers, systems and methods for content protection are provided. Disclosed embodiments improve temporal granularity of controlling access to the protected content and increase resilience against attacks attempting to prevent re-evaluation of conditions of access. Enforcement of re-evaluation may be based on the receipt and/or verification of tokens. In some embodiments, re-evaluation is enforced by periodically rendering content keys required for content decryption unuseable and/or clearing content keys already in use.

Abstract: A method to force a multimedia unit to update an application for viewing broadcast conditional access content by linking said update to an update of the conditional access module firmware. The firmware update is initialized by means of version information transmitted in the content stream. In particular, this version information may be included in ECM or EMM messages or in services information tables in order to be processed by the conditional access module independently from the multimedia unit. The version information comprises of a minimum version and of an available maximum version. If the conditional access module detects that the current version of the firmware is inferior to the available maximum version, it transmits a message requesting an update of the application that initiates downloading a firmware updating from a management center. The update installation is carried out simultaneously in the conditional access module and in the multimedia unit.

Abstract: A digital audio/video data processing unit and an access control method to this data are disclosed. The processing unit of audio/video digital data encrypted with control-words coming from control messages includes a deciphering unit of the audio/video data, a decompression unit, an input/output interface of the processed audio/video data and communication device towards a security module. The deciphering and decompression units include respectively an encryption unit and a decryption unit each having at least one personal key and a common encryption key. It includes a secured transmission device of the common key and of the control word extracted from a control message between the security module, the deciphering unit and the encryption unit using the personal key of the encryption unit.
