Abstract: The invention relates to a method for a first communication device to performing authenticated distance measurement between said first communication device and a second communication device, wherein the first and the second communication device share a common secret and said common secret is used for performing the distance measurement between said first and said second communication device. The invention also relates to a method of determining whether data stored on a first communication device are to be accessed by a second communication device. Moreover, the invention relates to a communication device for performing authenticated distance measurement to a second communication device. The invention also relates to an apparatus for playing back multimedia content comprising a communication device.

Abstract: This invention relates to attaching or relating a unique identifier of an importing/screening device to content material during import from a non-compliant domain into a compliant domain. In this way, it is always possible to identify the importing device for a given content material. A list comprising unique identifiers for importing devices that has been determined to import content material illegally may then be used in devices, applications, systems, etc. for the using content material in such a way that the use may be prohibited for content material being imported in to the compliant domain by devices, applications, systems, etc. that has been determined to import content material illegally. This allows for the revocation of use of content material in the compliant domain that has been imported there byan importing/screening device that has been determined to illegally import content material.

Abstract: A signal (24) that contains a stream of encrypted data and a plurality of individually identified streams (20, 22) of messages. Each of the streams (20, 22) of messages contains decryption information for decrypting a common part of the encrypted data. In a receiving and recording apparatus a mode selection unit (16) selects an operating mode from a plurality of modes including a live rendering mode and a replay mode for rendering the signal with a rendering unit (14) when received live and when replayed from storage respectively. A decoder (14) decrypts the encrypted data using a selectable one of the streams of messages. The decoder (14) selects the stream of messages dependent on the selected operating mode.
