Abstract

The invention relates to digital television authentication system and method. The system includes a digital television having a digital television master chip; an SIM card module with a built-in SIM card, connected to the digital television master chip, and an authentication server wirelessly connected to the SIM card. The SIM card module includes a symmetric key generation unit used for generating a symmetric encryption key CT according to a Session Key (SEK) received by the SIM card and an identity (ID) of the SIM card; and a CW acquisition unit used for decrypting, according to the symmetric encryption key CT, an ECW sent by the authentication server, to obtain a CW. The authentication server includes an SEK generation unit used for randomly generating a string and taking the string as an SEK; and an SEK sending unit used for sending the SEK to the SIM card module.
