  • Encrypting received content
    Publication number: 20030108199
    Abstract: Encrypting content included in a program or service is disclosed, wherein the encrypted content is transmitted from a transmitter to a receiver in a subscriber network. Generally, in one embodiment, the encrypted program or service is packetized, and the packets are transmitted to the receiver. When a packet having ciphertext of the encrypted program or service is received at the receiver, the ciphertext of the packet is preferably converted to a different form of ciphertext.
