A method for using contents, a method for sharing contents, and a device based on security level are disclosed. A method for using contents based on security level creates a device security level according to the number of device identification elements, receives contents, and if the device security level is found to be a minimum allowed device security level for using the contents, uses the contents. Therefore, a device that does not satisfy the conditions required for using contents cannot use the contents, whereby security is reinforced.

Method for protecting contents, method for sharing contents and device based on security level

A secure signing method, a secure authentication method, and an IPTV system are disclosed. The secure signing method includes preparing digital signature header fields and setting an attribute, calculating a hash digest of content using a hashing algorithm, storing the calculated hash value in a message digest field of the digital signature header, encrypting the message digest using a secret key and inserting the encrypted message digest in a signature field of the digital signature header, and associating the digital signature header with the content by prefixing the digital signature header to the content. The secure authentication method includes checking whether a format and value of a digital signature header of content are appropriate, calculating a hash digest of the content using a hashing algorithm, comparing the calculated hash value with a message digest field of the digital signature header, decrypting the hash value of the signature field of the digital signature header using a public key extracted from a certificate field, and comparing the decrypted hash value with the message digest.

Secure signing method, secure authentication method and IPTV system

The present invention relates to a method of managing a domain employing a multi-domain manager and a domain system. The method of managing a domain employing a multi-domain manager includes designating a primary domain manager, configuring the domain by registering a domain device with the primary domain manager, designating at least one secondary domain manager of the domain devices, and managing the domain through conjunction of the primary domain manager and the secondary domain manager. Thus, domain management can be performed efficiently by employing a multi-domain manager.

Method for managing domain using multi domain manager and domain system

A method and system for secure communication is provided. The method for secure communication with devices includes: obtaining a parameter for protecting a content; authenticating each other by exchanging a certificate with the device; and exchanging a key with the device using a key authenticated through the certificate to establish a secure authenticated channel with the device. Accordingly, it is possible to establish the secure authenticated channel and perform secure communication by computing a secure authenticated channel key.

Method and system for secure communication

A method and system for processing content are provided. The method of processing content includes: receiving source data from a first system; interoperable-processing the source data and generating a target data; and transmitting the target data to a second system, the first system or the second system include at least one of access control system, copy protection system and use control system. Accordingly, it is possible to easily process non-compliant content in the DRM interoperable system.

Method and system for processing content

Provided are a system and method for position awareness that can be used indoors in a large-scale environment and can minimize generation of radio frequency (RF) and ultrasonic waves in a wireless sensor network including low-priced sensor nodes capable of precise position measurement, thus improving energy efficiency by reducing unnecessary power consumption. The method includes the steps of: (a) calculating initial position coordinates using beacon information received from adjacent beacons through a broadcast beacon solicitation signal, sending a synchronization signal to the beacons, and synchronizing the beacons; (b) receiving ultrasonic waves generated from the adjacent beacons activated by a broadcast start message, and calculating position coordinates; and (c) when the calculated position coordinates correspond to a predetermined hand-off threshold position, transmitting a hand-off process message to a newly activated beacon, and executing a hand-off process routine.
