Protection of data on media recording disks
View Patent ↗This invention discloses a secure recording medium having at least one of audio, video and software content, comprising a plurality of media recording disks (DVD's) with a disk security chip embedded in each the DVD, each the disk chip comprising a security key, wherein at least two of the DVD's have different disk security keys. A method for protecting access to content recorded on a media recording disk (DVD) is also disclosed.
1. A method for protecting access to content recorded on a media recording disk (DVD), comprising:
providing a disk security chip on the DVD, said disk security chip managing access to the content of the DVD;
providing a corresponding player security chip in a DVD player which is operative to play the DVD, said player security chip managing use of a data stream received from the DVD, said disk security chip being in wireless communication with said player security chip; and
providing said disk security chip with a disk key not known to a disk manufacturer,
wherein said disk security chip, after assuring that said DVD player is authentic, sends said DVD player said disk key.
2. The method according to claim 1 and comprising encrypting contents of said DVD with a content key.
3. The method according to claim 1 and comprising performing an authentication process between said disk security chip and said player security chip.
4. The method according to claim 3 and wherein said authentication process comprises a mutual zero-knowledge interaction authentication process.
5. The method according to claim 1 and wherein said disk security chip, after assuring that said DVD player is authentic, sends said DVD player said disk key encrypted with said player key.
6. The method according to claim 1 and wherein said player security chip verifies legitimacy of said disk key as a function of a geometric property of said DVD.
7. The method according to claim 6 and wherein said DVD is a multi-layer DVD and said geometric property is an angle between layers of said DVD.
8. A method for protecting access to content recorded on a media recording disk (DVD), comprising:
providing a disk security chip on the DVD, said disk security chip managing access to the content of the DVD; and
providing a corresponding player security chip in a DVD player which is operative to play the DVD, said player security chip managing use of a data stream received from the DVD, said disk security chip being in wireless communication with said player security chip,
wherein said disk security chip, after assuring that said DVD player is authentic, sends said DVD player a disk key.
9. The method according to claim 8 and comprising encrypting contents of said DVD with a content key.
10. The method according to claim 8 and comprising performing an authentication process between said disk security chip and said player security chip.
11. The method according to claim 10 and wherein said authentication process comprises a mutual zero-knowledge interaction authentication process.
12. The method according to claim 8 and wherein said disk security chip, after assuring that said DVD player is authentic, sends said DVD player said disk key encrypted with said player key.
13. The method according to claim 8 and wherein said player security chip verifies legitimacy of said disk key as a function of a geometric property of said DVD.
14. The method according to claim 13 and wherein said DVD is a multi-layer DVD and said geometric property is an angle between layers of said DVD.
