- Figure 4 is a flow diagram for providing secure streaming of digital content according to one embodiment of the invention.
- the data can be audio data, visual data, or a combination of audio and visual data.
- the data can be played by a software player running on a computer system or other suitable device, or the data can be played by a dedicated hardware playback device.
- Authorization data is received from a source at 400.
- the source is a server computer system accessed via a network, such as the Internet.
- the server can provide the digital content as well as the authorization data, or the digital content can be received from a different source, or multiple sources.
- One embodiment of authorization data is described in greater detail below with respect to Figure 5.
- the authorization data includes one or more digital signatures, one or more user identifiers and one or more content integrity values.
- the one or more digital signatures allow the playback device to determine the authority of the source of the authorization data.
- the one or more user identifiers allow the playback device to determine whether the playback device is authorized to play the associated digital content.
- the content integrity values allow the playback device to determine whether the digital content is valid.
- the playback device checks the authorization data at 410.
- the playback device checks the digital signature, or other source indicator, in the authorization data to determine whether the authorization data is received from an authorized source.
- the digital signature can be, for example, either a Digital Signature Algorithm (DS A) signature as proposed by the National Institute of Standards, or a Rivest Shamir Adleman (RSA) algorithm as described by RSA Data Security, Inc. of Redwood City California. Both of these functions are described in pages 466-494 of "Applied Cryptography: Protocols, Algorithms and Source Code in C" by Bruce Schneier, published by John Wiley & Sons, Inc. (1996). Other signature algorithms can also be used.
- DS A Digital Signature Algorithm
- RSA Rivest Shamir Adleman
- the playback device determines whether it in an authorized playback device at 420.
- the playback device has a PlayerLD value.
- the PlayerLD value can be received via a registration process, which is described in greater detail in U.S. Patent application 09/151,384, filed September 10, 1998, entitled “CLONING PROTECTION SCHEME FOR A DIGITAL INFORMATION PLAYBACK DEVICE,” which is assigned to the corporate assignee of the invention.
- the PlayerLD value can also be hardwired into, or otherwise provided by, a component of the playback device (e.g., a computer system, a hardware player).
- the playback device If the playback device is not an authorized playback device at 420, the process stops. Otherwise, a stream of digital information is received and played at 430.
- the stream of digital data is received form the same source as the authorization data; however, the digital data can be received from an alternative source.
- the playback device performs a periodic check of the stream of digital information at 440. The check can be performed at regular intervals (e.g., every 20 seconds), the check can be performed at random times, or the check can be performed at varying times within predetermined timing intervals. When performing checks at regular intervals conditions such as, for example, network bandwidth, processing power and strength of security desired, can be used to determine the interval to be used.
- the playback device generates a hash value based on a block of content received.
- the playback device checks the content integrity values previously received as part of the authorization data to determine whether the hash value is included. Content integrity values other than hash values can also be used.
- digital information playback is continued (e.g., 430, 440, 450). If the check fails at 450, playback of digital information is stopped. Thus, an unauthorized user can play a portion (e.g., 20 seconds) of unauthorized digital content, but the unauthorized user is prevented from continuing to play the stream of digital information.
- the invention provides playback protection rather than access protection.
- the invention allows only authorized playback devices to play content that has been received.
- access protection schemes attempt to limit access to the content that can be played by any playback device having access to the content.
- the invention allows greater protection to identification and authorization information as compared to access protection because authorization activities occur within the playback device rather than being distributed across a network where private information can be lost, stolen and/or sabotaged.
- FIG. 5 illustrates authorization data for use in providing secure streaming digital content according to one embodiment of the invention.
- authorization data 500 includes source identifier 510, user identifiers 520 and content integrity values 530. Additional and/or different data can be used to provide authorization information.
- source indicator 510 is a digital signature corresponding to the source of authorization data 500.
- Source indicator 510 can also be multiple digital signatures indicating a chain of authorized sources through which the authorization data 500 has been received. Playback devices perform necessary checks on source indicator 510 to determine whether authorization data 500 is valid.
- user identifiers 520 include one or more PlayerLD values corresponding to playback devices that are authorized to play the digital information with which authorization data 500 is associated.
- User identifiers 520 can also include GroupLD values that correspond to groups of playback devices authorized to play the digital information. Playback devices determine whether a PlayerLD or GroupLD value linked to the playback device is included in user identifiers 520.
- content integrity values 530 are hash values corresponding to one or more portions of the digital content corresponding to authorization data 500. Content integrity values 530 are used by the playback device to determine whether the corresponding portion of digital content is valid. Content integrity values 530 are used for periodic checking by the playback device to determine whether playback is authorized.
