Abstract: A method for securing the processing of an initial digital asset according to at least one processing step delivering an output digital asset from an input digital asset function of the initial digital asset. According to such method, a producer electronic device executes creating an initial NFT assigned to a producer wallet, in a blockchain, the initial NFT being associated with the initial digital asset, the initial NFT including input access condition to the initial digital asset and, for the at least one processing step, the initial NFT includes post-processing access conditions to the input digital asset after the execution of the processing step and output access conditions to the output digital asset delivered by the processing step, and assigning the initial NFT to a wallet, in the blockchain, associated with a first processor electronic device implementing a first processing step.

Abstract: Malware detection logic executed by a secured device residing in a home network may receive a message from an unsecured device of a first unsecured network and intended for a destination device of the home network, the destination device comprising a security client. The malware detection logic may establish a secure communication channel between the malware detection logic of the secured device and the security client of the destination device. The malware detection logic may execute a validation test on the message to determine that the message includes malware. The malware detection logic may report an alarm to the security client of the destination device. The malware detection logic may transmit information related to the malware to a cloud computing server. The malware detection logic may prevent an application associated with the destination device from processing the message.

Abstract: A method of acquiring access rights to conditional access content. The method comprises receiving an access right on a first terminal through a first communication channel; storing said access right in said first terminal; sending a request for said conditional access content to a content provider, said request containing at least an identifier of an account to which said first terminal is associated, an identifier of the requested content and a piece of information concerning said access right; verifying, by said content provider, the authenticity of said access right using said piece of information concerning the access right; and when there has been a successful verification, marking said access right as used, and sending said conditional access content to at least one terminal linked to said account. The first terminal using near field communication technology (NFC) during at least one transfer of said access rights.

Abstract: Methods and systems for transmitting and receiving data, such as, for example, entertainment data, are presented. In one example, a data file is segmented into a plurality of data modules. A header is generated for each of the data modules, with the header including a module identifier for the data module associated with the header. An indication of a number of the plurality of data modules associated with the data file, and at least one multicast address from which the plurality of modules may be received via a multicast transmission, are generated and transmitted. The data modules with their associated headers are transmitted over a communication network in the multicast transmission.

Abstract: A post-processing of video content in order to provide a capability to insert ad content, having a method to produce a modified video content from an original video content. The method comprising: analyzing the original video content to detect at least one marker, said marker comprising a marker surface delimited by a marker identification; loading profile data of a target user; determining, based at least on the profile data a replacement content; adjusting the replacement content into the marker surface; and replacing into the original video content the marker surface by the adjusted replacement content to produce the modified video content.

Abstract: A method for identifying a peripheral device from a digital content having been received by said peripheral device from a master device located at a user end is described. The master device can be connected to a server located at a back end, and the method includes receiving, by the master device from the peripheral device, at least peripheral identification data. The method also includes generating, at the master device, a first mark as a function of at least a part of the peripheral identification data, and watermarking the digital content using the first mark before transmitting the digital content to the peripheral device.

Abstract: An embodiment of the present invention may be deployed in a system comprising a media player and a remote server operably connected to communicate with one another. The invention allows for a settings file to be stored on the remote server, the settings file comprising parameters useful for adjusting different settings on the media player such that rendering of a particular content to be made possible on the media player according to a user's predetermined taste by downloading the settings from the server onto the media player.

Abstract: A method for securing transmission of digital data in a communication network comprising a central station or a terminal and at least one device monitored by the central station via the communication network. The at least one device is configured to produce and to transmit a digital data stream to the central station or terminal. The at least one device further comprises a secure non-volatile memory for storing at least device specific information. The at least one device forms a data block based on at least the device specific information stored in the secure memory. The data block thus formed may compose additional data to be merged with the digital data stream produced by the at least one device. A modified digital data stream results from this merging operation and is transmitted by the at least one device to the central station or terminal.
