20080250144 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLING TRANSMISSION OF CONTENT DATA - Provided are a method and apparatus for controlling transmission of content data. In the method, a communication channel is initially established to transmit the content data, the content data is transmitted through the established communication channel, verification is performed a plurality of times to determine whether the content data is transmitted within an acceptable transmission range, and whether to continue the transmission of the content data is determined according to the verification result. Accordingly, when a client moves to a location outside a predetermined acceptable transmission range in a wireless environment, a server stops transmission of the content data. In addition, content data can be continuously transmitted regardless of interference caused by a temporary obstacle between a server and a client. | 10-09-2008 |
20080250403 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR GENERATING FIRMWARE UPDATE FILE AND UPDATING FIRMWARE BY USING THE FIRMWARE UPDATE FILE - Provided is a method of limiting updating of firmware by distinguishing between model code that represents a group of hardware having firmware program codes are compatible with each other and model code that identifies each hardware belonging to the group. The method includes generating a data body having firmware program code that is to be updated; generating a data header having model code of hardware to which the data body is to be applied, wherein the hardware model code comprises first model code representing a group of hardware having firmware program codes are compatible with each other and second model code identifying each hardware belonging to the group; and generating a firmware update file by combining the data body and the data header. | 10-09-2008 |
20080256527 | METHOD OF GENERATING FIRMWARE UPDATE FILE, METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR UPDATING FIRMWARE BY USING THE FIRMWARE UPDATE FILE - Provided are a method of generating a firmware update file which restrictively allows a firmware update for a corresponding hardware model, and a method and apparatus for updating firmware using the firmware update file. By generating a data body including program codes of firmware to be updated, generating a data header including model codes of a hardware device to which the data body is applied, and generating the firmware update file by combining the data body and the data header, the firmware update may be restricted for a corresponding model of a hardware device by using the firmware update file so that firmware of other models of hardware devices may not be updated, an integrity check may be performed using a digital signature when the firmware is updated. | 10-16-2008 |
20090274305 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TRANSMITTING CONTENT KEY - Provided is a method of transmitting content keys to nodes arranged in a hierarchical structure which includes a plurality of node groups each including a predetermined number of the nodes. In this method, revoke information that includes identifiers of revoked node groups in the hierarchical structure, the total number of independent revoked nodes, and identifiers of the independent revoked nodes is generated. The revoked node groups are node groups consisting of only revoked nodes, and the independent revoked nodes are revoked nodes not belonging to any of the revoked node groups. Then, encrypted content keys are obtained by encrypting content keys using broadcast encryption, by using an encryption key set that has a form that cannot be generated using a decryption key set that the revoked nodes possess, and a set of encrypted content keys is generated. Thereafter, the revoke information and the set of the encrypted content keys are transmitted to all of the nodes arranged in the hierarchical structure. | 11-05-2009 |
20090304185 | METHOD OF TRACING DEVICE KEYS FOR BROADCAST ENCRYPTION - Provided are a method of tracing a device key in a user key management system using a hierarchical hash chain broadcast encryption scheme (HBES) algorithm, a user key management system for executing the method of tracing a device key, and a computer program for executing the method of tracing a device key. The method of tracing a device key of an illegal decoder in a user key management system for broadcast encryption includes: tracing a device key using a binary search; and revoking the traced device key. The technology according to the present invention can be applied to prevent exposure of the device keys to hacking. The present invention provides a method of tracing which can be applied to an HBES algorithm structure. | 12-10-2009 |
20110142227 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ENCODING DATA AND METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DECODING DATA - A method and apparatus for encoding data, and a method and apparatus for decoding data. The method of encoding data including generating first encoded data by encoding input data, dividing the first encoded data into a plurality of segments, and generating second encoded data by combining the plurality of segments and dummy data. | 06-16-2011 |
