Abstract

A method and device for controlling a download of a broadcast service security module are disclosed. In a method for controlling a download of a security module for a broadcast service in a user terminal connected to a service server and a security server through a network, a loader is downloaded by allowing the user terminal to be connected to the service server. The user terminal is connected to the security server through the loader. A bootloader is downloaded from the security server. A security module is downloaded from the security server by executing the bootloader.

Claims (26)

1. A method for controlling a download of a security module for a broadcast service in a user terminal connected to a service server and a security server through a network, the method comprising:

connecting to the service server through a browser;

downloading a loader to the user terminal from the service server;

executing the loader in a plug-in manner;

connecting the user terminal to the security server through the loader;

downloading a bootloader from the security server to the user terminal;

downloading a security module from the security server to the user terminal by executing the bootloader;

downloading encrypted content to the user terminal from the service server; and

decrypting the encrypted content using the downloaded bootloader and the security module,

wherein the service server includes a web server or a mobile app store server,

a web page or a mobile app including the loader is transmitted to the user terminal from the service server when downloading the loader, and

the user terminal is connected to the security server through installation and execution of the loader.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the security module includes at least one of a CAS client, a DRM client, a security policy, or a certificate.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the bootloader is configured to determine whether each of the CAS client, the DRM client, the security policy, and the certificate exists and whether each of the CAS client, the DRM client, the security policy, and the certificate is updated.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the bootloader is configured to determine whether a new bootloader is downloaded with reference to the security policy.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the loader includes address information of the security server, and is configured to communicate with the security server by using the address information.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the bootloader and the security module are configured to perform decryption of an encrypted content.

7. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing a program, which when executed by a computer, configures the computer to perform the method of claim 1 .

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein downloading the loader downloads the web page or the mobile app including the loader to the user terminal from the service server.

9. A security server device connected to a user terminal through a network, the security server device comprising:

a communication unit configured to receive a request of a bootloader from the user terminal, the user terminal configured to be connected to a service server through a browser and to drive a loader in a plug-in manner;

a storage configured to store the bootloader and a security module; and

a controller configured to control the bootloader and the security module to be transmitted to the user terminal through the communication unit such that the user terminal is configured to download encrypted content to the user terminal from the service server, and decrypt the encrypted content using the downloaded bootloader and the security module,

wherein the service server includes a web server or a mobile app store server, and provides a web page or a mobile app including the loader to the user terminal from the service server, and

the user terminal is connected to the security server through installation and execution of the loader.

10. The security server device of claim 9 , wherein the security module includes at least one of a CAS client, a DRM client, a security policy, or a certificate.
