20100325415 | Controlling Media Distribution - A method and apparatus for distributing time-controlled media. A media chunk is encrypted using cryptographic materials and sending the encrypted media chunk over a media channel. The cryptographic materials are distributed over a time-guaranteed control channel such that the cryptographic materials are received by a remote receiver node after the remote receiver receives the encrypted media chunk. The receiver node receives the encrypted media chunk over the media channel and stores the encrypted media chunk in a memory at the receiver node. The receiver node also receives the cryptographic materials over the time guaranteed channel, and uses the cryptographic materials to decrypt the encrypted media chunk. In this way, the receiver node cannot render the media chunk until it has received the cryptographic materials. | 12-23-2010 |
