  • Publication number: 20210273783
    Abstract: Groups of devices may be prevented from accessing content by encrypting the content. A plurality of secrets associated with a decryption key may be generated using a secret sharing algorithm. The plurality of secrets may be sent to one or more groups of devices to derive the decryption key. A non-restricted subset of the groups of devices may receive one or more secrets. Devices within the non-restricted subset of the groups may be able to use one or more secrets to determine the decryption key for the content. Groups that do not receive one or more secrets may be unable to determine the decryption key for the content.

  • Publication number: 20210067526
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for real-time security monitoring on a computing device are presented. A system may define privileges to access hardware interfaces for each process of a plurality of processes executing on a computing device. The privileges may be defined in a privileged operating system level that controls root access to an operating system. In response to a determination that a process is attempting to access a hardware interface, the system may determine whether the process is privileged to access the hardware interface by checking the privileges. In response to determining that the process is not privileged to access the hardware interface, the intrusion detection agent may terminate the process.

  • Publication number: 20200403807
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described that relate to authentication and/or binding of multiple devices with varying security profiles. In one aspect, a first device with a higher security profile may vouch for the authenticity of a second device with a lower security profile when the second device requests access for content from a content provider. The vouching process may be implemented by allowing the first device to overlay its digital signature on a registration request that has been signed and transmitted by the second device. The second device with the lower security profile may access content from the content provider or source for a predetermined time period, even when the second device does not access content through the first device.

  • Publication number: 20200302031
    Abstract: A streamlined workflow for digital rights management (DRM) licensing for content such as media assets is achieved via an authentication server establishing an authenticated session that is referenced by other processes, whereby a content grant may include a key to desired encrypted content with a portion of the content or content meta-data. The authentication server verifies the user's identity and provides a session grant including a session security mechanism, such as a token, session key, or negotiated secret. The session grant may be used to obtain a content authorization from a content router. The content authorization includes an address at which the content may be found and may be decorated with security mechanisms. The session grant and/or content authorization may include an entitlement record reflecting the user's entitlements to access content. The session grant and/or content authorization may be used to obtain a content grant from a content server.

  • Publication number: 20200210550
    Abstract: Systems and methods for managing group encryption are described. In certain methods, a content asset may be encrypted with an asset key. An account key may be determined. Using the account key, an encrypted content asset package may be generated comprising at least the asset key, wherein the encrypted content asset package is decryptable with the account key. The encrypted content asset package and an identifier associated with the account key may be transmitted, for example to a playback device.

  • Publication number: 20200057840
    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described for converting digital rights management (DRM) data in a specific protocol to standardized DRM data. The standardized DRM data may be used to secure content delivered to user devices through a content delivery network. If a user device decides to record a content item, a request for authenticating entitlement to the content item may be sent to a network device and the network device may reply with an authentication receipt if appropriate. If the user device later decides to access the content item, the user device may send the authentication receipt back to the network server so that the network server may reply with a decryption key for decrypting the content item.

  • Publication number: 20200059780
    Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and systems are described for deriving secured keys and authenticating based on the derived keys. An entity may receive one or more derived keys and one or more key derivation algorithms associated with the one or more derived keys. A user device may derive, based on a key associated with the user device and unknown to the entity, a user key. The entity may derive, based on a first derived key and one of the key derivation algorithms, a second derived key, and may verify, based on the second derived key, the user key.

  • Publication number: 20190258778
    Abstract: Systems and methods are for content security may comprise transmitting a request for authorization to access secured content. A content key for the secured content may be received and stored to a restricted region of a memory. A device security module may have access to the restricted region and may decrypt, based on satisfaction of a use condition and using the content key, the secured content. An encryption key associated with a secure media system authorized to access the secured content may be received. The device security module may encrypt, using the encryption key, the secured content and route the secured content to the secure media system.

  • Patent number: 10154032
    Abstract: Systems and methods can comprise receiving an authentication request according to a first security protocol from a user device. Responsive to a determination that the authentication request is trustworthy according to the first security protocol, a device identifier and information related to a shared key are transmitted to the user device. A content request to access content secured according to a second security protocol is received from the user device. The content request can comprise the device identifier and can be encrypted using a shared key derived from the information related to the shared key. The content request can be decrypted using the shared key, and authenticated based on the device identifier.
