A method and apparatus for brokering the enablement of the communication of encrypted media programs from a plurality of independent broadcasters to a plurality of receivers is disclosed. The system makes use of a pairing key for each provided service, which is differently encrypted by a pairing server and by the broadcaster providing the service. The encrypted versions of the pairing key are decrypted in a first receiver module using information known to the pairing service but not the broadcaster and in a second receiver module using information known to the broadcaster. The pairing key is used to cryptographically bind the first and second receiver modules.

Method and apparatus for supporting multiple broadcasters independently using a single conditional access system

A method, apparatus, article of manufacture, and a memory structure for providing a security infrastructure that permits the programming of limited hardware resources that can accept newly downloaded applications and securely support a very large number of services offered by content providers each have the potential to utilize their own independent CAS/DRM system. The CE device owner can consume content from a variety of sources and enable switching among different and existing CAS/DRM security profiles as required by the content provider applications loaded in CE devices.

Method and apparatus for a blackbox programming system permitting downloadable applications and multiple security profiles providing hardware separation of services in hardware constrained devices

A method, apparatus, article of manufacture, and a memory structure for securely providing data for use by a hardware device of a receiver. The method utilizes a product provisioning key (PPV) held secure from other entities that can be unlocked and used with a secret value securely and unchangeably stored in the hardware device.
