Abstract

Disclosed herein is a method of checking whether or not a memory card including rights to contents is mounted in a terminal during a process of using the contents. The checking operation may be performed in synchronization with a timing at which a BCAST client within the terminal requests a traffic encryption key (TEK) to a DRM agent. In addition, there is disclosed herein a method of checking whether or not the memory card is mounted therein, as well as whether or not rights to the contents actually exist in the memory card.
