Abstract

Embodiments of the invention relate to obtaining forensic information for an anonymous attack of digital content without variations in a broadcast encryption system. In one embodiment a media device, being configured to record digital content on recordable media, receives digital content, a unified media key block, and a recording key table. The device calculates a set of recording keys from the recording key table using a media key variant from the unified media key block. The device then generates a title key and encrypts by the digital content in the generated title key. The device then encrypts the generated title key in each one of the calculated recording keys, adds a header including the encrypted titles keys to the encrypted digital content, and stores the encrypted digital content with the header on recordable media.
