A user device may strengthen the protection level of a digital content by dividing the security and normal modes and performing an operation. In order to further strengthen the protection level of the digital content, the user device may determine whether the main operating system is hacked or not, and blocks the operation in the secure mode. Otherwise, the device authorization information indicating the device security level of the user device is authorized by the content service server, and the user device blocks the operation in the secure mode according to the result.

Method and apparatus for protecting digital content using device authentication

An electronic device includes a processor and a memory functionally connected to the processor. The electronic device acquires user's biometric information through a biometric sensor, determines virtual biometric information corresponding to the acquired biometric information, and transmits the virtual biometric information to an external electronic device through communication circuitry. The electronic device may include the biometric sensor, the communication circuitry, and the memory may be electrically connected to the biometric sensor and the communication module and store instructions to be executed by the processor.
