Abstract
A method of verification of rights is disclosed, contained in a security module associated to an apparatus processing broadcasted digital data. The apparatus is connected to a management center transmitting encrypted rights messages for accessing the digital data. The method includes reception and reading by the security module of all or part of a rights message including at least one right and means for verifying the right, decryption and verification of the rights message and updating of a rights memory, and storage of all or part of the rights message in a messages memory. During a further verification step, the method includes identification of at least one right present in the rights memory, search of the corresponding stored rights message and verification of the rights message, comparison of the right contained in the rights message with the corresponding right stored in the rights memory, and determination of a default state when the result of the comparison indicates a difference.
