Abstract
A method and apparatus for storing and retrieving program material for subsequent replay is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a conditional access module, for accepting encrypted access control information and the program material encrypted according to a first encryption key, the encrypted access control information including a first encryption key and temporally-variant control data; the conditional access module having a first decryptor module, for decrypting the encrypted access control information to produce the temporally variant control data; a conversion module for modifying the temporally-variant control data to produce temporally-invariant control data; a re-encryptor module, for re-encrypting the decrypted access control information; a second decryptor module for decrypting the re-encrypted access control information to produce the first encryption key; a copy protection encryption module, communicatively coupleable to the conditional access module and a media storage device, the copy protection encryption module for further encrypting the encrypted program material according to a second encryption key and for encrypting the second encryption key according to a third en…
