Abstract

Disclosed are a method and apparatus capable of reducing the computational complexity of encryption and decryption by encrypting only data of scalable video coding contents for each coding layer in terms of temporal, spatial, and SNR scalabilities to provide a service for protected scalable video coding contents, and capable of protecting contents by generating and distributing an encryption key for encryption and decryption depending on a class of a contents consumer.
