Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The invention provides a receiver, a smartcard and a conditional access system for securely obtaining a control word using an entitlement transform tree, wherein intermediate results are cached to improve computational efficiency.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A receiver for securely obtaining a control word, the receiver comprising: a first memory configured for storing a transform function configured to receive a transformed control word and a seed and to migrate the transformed control word from an input transform space to an output transform space to obtain the control word using a mathematical transformation under control of the seed, wherein the control word is in a clear text form or in an encrypted form;…
