Abstract: A digital cable broadcasting receiver and a method of authenticating the digital cable broadcasting receiver, the digital cable broadcasting receiver includes: a security module unit to perform a device authentication process using two-way communication with a Head End (HE) system, and to transmit authentication verification information generated by the device authentication process to a receiver central processing unit (CPU); a demodulation unit to demodulate a broadcasting signal received from a tuner based on the authentication verification information, and to extract transport stream data; the receiver CPU to control power of the demodulation unit based on the authentication verification information; and a decoding unit to restore the transport stream data into image data.

Abstract: The apparatus and method for scrambling high-rate data is disclosed. The apparatus includes a first storing unit for storing a transport stream (TS) inputted from an external device; a common key (CK) generating unit for generating a CK by receiving a control word (CW) from an external conditional access system (CAS); a key scheduling unit for generating predetermined number of keys (KK)s by receiving the CK from the CK generating unit; a plurality of enciphering units for enciphering the TS transmitted from the first storing unit based on the predetermined number of KKs and the CK; a second storing unit for storing the TS enciphered by the enciphering units and outputting the enciphered TS; and a controlling unit for controlling the multiple enciphering units.

Abstract: A restricted reception device enabling a subscriber receiver to selectively receive broadcasting data transferred via a digital cable broadcasting network, includes: a demultiplexer for receiving broadcasting data and an ECM including a CW from the subscriber receiver, and demultiplexing them, the broadcasting data and the ECM being transferred through an in-band channel; an out-of-band channel signal processor for receiving an EMM from the subscriber receiver, and processing the EMM, the EMM being transferred through an out-of-band channel; a restricted reception processor for descrambling the scrambled broadcasting data using the ECM and the EMM received from the out-of-band channel signal processor; and a remultiplexer for multiplexing the descrambled broadcasting data received from the restricted reception processor, and sending the multiplexed broadcasting data to the subscriber receiver.

Abstract: Provided is apparatus and method for transforming cable channel. The apparatus includes a data mixing unit for receiving and mixing a band data and a first broadband data, to thereby generate a second broadband data of a broadband cable channel, and a channel adapting unit for dividing a band data from the second broadband data received through the broadband cable channel, bypassing the second broadband data to a first subscriber apparatus and transmitting the band data to a second subscriber apparatus.

Abstract: An apparatus for receiving MPEG-2 A/V data by using a cable MODE is disclosed. The apparatus includes: a cable MODEM for separating broadcasting data and broadcasting supplementary data by demodulating an input signal; and a multiplexer for multiplexing the separated broadcasting data from the cable MODEM with broadcasting data inputted from other input source, and outputting the multiplexed broadcasting data to an external cable card.

Abstract: A package service management system and method in digital cable broadcasting comprises: a host having middleware for receiving broadcast signals of a headend and bidirectional service information, and executing a package application program for providing a package service; a POD for analyzing data, and decoding a package subscription and termination message using an encoded key so as to allow or disallow watching channels; and a headend for defining package-setting information, transmitting it to the host or the POD, generating entitlement test messages on a paid channel, transmitting them to the POD, and transmitting the subscriber's encoded key according to a request by the POD. Therefore, the subscriber can watch TV and remotely subscribe or terminate a paid package service, thereby increasing user's convenience.
