  • Patent number: 11057661
    Abstract: Efficient techniques are provided for distributing video and data from the internet to the TV in order to permit easier access to new means of communications, e.g., internet. Each personal stream associated with an individual may only be watched on the individual's receiver. The personal stream is paired to the receiver identification number included in the signaling data associated with the personal stream. A personalized program guide may be generated including information about the personal stream and may only be watched on the individual's receiver. Obfuscation of the stream types associated with the personal stream may be performed. Methods and apparatuses for transmitting and receiving a signal are provided.

  • Publication number: 20070101140
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a device for decoding digital signatures to validate the source of received information items is disclosed. The device is operable to determine a first comparator value in relation to a first value associated with information items received over a network and a Diffie-Hellman public key, determine a second comparator value in relation to a digital signature received, wherein the digital signature is determined in association with a second value associated with the information items prior to transmission over said network, and com paring the first and second comparator values to validate the source based on the comparison. In another embodiment, a key generating device is operable to generate a first and second Diffie-Hellman key from a plurality of large numbers randomly selected, wherein at least one of the numbers is a prime number, and further determine a public key as a Diffie-Hellman transpose of one of the generated first and second Diffie-Hellman keys.
