Real-Time DMB Video Encryption in Recording on PMP

At July 2008, the nationwide DMB (Digital Multimedia Broadcasting) has got started. As DMB device's volume of sales has been over 12 million already, the development of rapidly changing network systems has increased the dangers of infringing the copyright of DMB contents. For solving this problem, we suggest that real-time encryption algorithm without additional expenses, and implemented that on PMP. We used the SEED algorithm for encryption. As the experimental result, we confirmed that the real-time encryption and decryption of DMB videos were working well. Also confirmed that recorded contents in PMP were not replayed in other devices, and also the contents recorded by other devices were not played in PMP. Suggested algorithms can be useful in the VOD, IPTV or cable TV.
