Title:
BATCH MODE SESSION-BASED ENCRYPTION OF VIDEO ON DEMAND CONTENT
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2005048579
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A Video On Demand (VOD) (130) method consistent with certain embodiments involves processing content to be delivered in a VOD method by selecting first portions of the content for encryption under a selective encryption system and selecting second portions of the content to remain unencrypted. The first and second portions are stored until receiving a request for delivery of the content, the request being from a terminal (50) having decryption capabilities associated with a first decryption method. The first portions are then bulk encrypted to produce encrypted first portions. The encrypted first portions are stored in a buffer. The second portions are queued for delivery to the terminal (50). A stream of selectively encrypted content is assembled from the encrypted first portions and the second portions.
