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 media recording disk (DVD) comprising:
a disk security module managing access to the content of the DVD, the disk security module comprising a disk key, the disk security module being in wireless communication with a corresponding player security chip in a DVD player, the DVD player being operative to play the DVD, the player security chip managing use of a data stream received from the DVD,
wherein the disk security module is operative to send the DVD player the disk key after assuring that the DVD player is authentic.
2. The recording disk according to claim 1 and wherein the disk key is not known to a disk manufacturer.
3. The media recording disk according to claim 1 and wherein the disk security module comprises a disk security chip.
4. The system according to claim 1 and wherein the contents of the DVD are encrypted with a content key.
5. The system according to claim 1 and wherein an authentication process is performed between the disk security chip and the player security chip.
6. The system according to claim 5 and wherein the authentication process comprises a mutual zero-knowledge interaction authentication process.
7. The system according to claim 1 and wherein the disk security chip, after assuring that the DVD player is authentic, sends the DVD player the disk key encrypted with the player key.
8. The system according to claim 1 and wherein the player security chip verifies legitimacy of the disk key as a function of a geometric property of the DVD.
9. The system according to claim 8 and wherein the DVD is a multi-layer DVD and the geometric property is an angle between layers of the DVD.
10. A system for protecting access to content recorded on a media recording disk (DVD), the system comprising:
a disk security module operatively associated with the DVD, the disk security module managing access to the content of the DVD, the disk security module comprising a disk key, the disk security module being in wireless communication with a corresponding player security chip in a DVD player, the DVD player being operative to play the DVD, the player security chip managing use of a data stream received from the DVD,
wherein the disk security chip is operative to send the DVD player the disk key after assuring that the player is authentic.
11. The system according to claim 10 and wherein the disk key is not known to a disk manufacturer.
12. The system disk according to claim 10 and wherein the disk security module comprises a disk security chip.
13. The system according to claim 10 and wherein the disk security module is fixedly attached to the media recording disk.
14. The system according to claim 10 and wherein the player security chip is removably attached to the player.
15. The system according to claim 10 and wherein the disk security chip is in wireless communication with the player security chip.
16. The system according to claim 15 and wherein the wireless communication comprises radio communication.
17. The system according to claim 15 and wherein the wireless communication comprises optical communication.
18. The system according to claim 10 and wherein the contents of the media recording disk are encrypted with a content key.
19. The system according to claim 10 and wherein an authentication process is performed between the disk security chip and the player security chip.
20. The system according to claim 19 and wherein the authentication process comprises a mutual zero-knowledge interaction authentication process.
21. The system according to claim 10 and wherein the disk security chip, after assuring that the player is authentic, sends the player the disk key encrypted with the player key.
22. The system according to claim 10 and wherein the player security chip verifies legitimacy of the disk key as a function of a geometric property of the media recording disk.
23. The system according to claim 22 and wherein the media recording disk is a multi-layer media recording disk and the geometric property is an angle between layers of the media recording disk.
24. A media recording disk (DVD) comprising:
means for storing content; and
means for managing access to the content, the means for managing content comprising a disk key and being in wireless communication with a corresponding player security means in a DVD player, the DVD player being operative to play the DVD, the means for managing content managing use of a data stream received from the DVD,
wherein the means for managing content sends the DVD player the disk key after assuring that the DVD player is authentic.
25. The recording disk according to claim 24 and wherein the disk key is not known to a disk manufacturer.
