The evolution of internet have opened the world of IPTV. With internet protocol, IPTV broadcasts contents stream. The IP protocol doesn't provide secure service due to IP characteristics. So, it is important to provide both connect and secure service. Conditional Access System and/or Digital Right Management are being used to protect IPTV contents. However, there exist restrictions in the view of security. In this paper, we analyse existing security technologies for IPTV and propose a novel method to enforce security efficiently. In the proposed method, OTP is used for encryption/decryption contents and CAS controls key for encryption/decryption and the right of user. With this scheme, it reduces the load of the system and provides more security.

Lately, IPTV is in the limelight using a broadband information service to provide video content and broadcast services. Current IPTV system is combining CAS and DRM system for VOD contents to protect transmitting contents and authentication, but it has drawbacks such as system's complexity and high construction costs. Multicast DRM system emerged as a method to improve them, but, in the multicast DRM system, if the key is intercepted by a malicious user, it can be viewed by an unauthorized user of illegal broadcasting which can be a problem. In this paper, we suggest to protect content from a malicious user by applying the techniques using user authentication in the multicast DRM system.

Currently broadcasting and telecommunication has integrated, And IPTV Service has appeared who called TPS(Triple Play Service) which integrated with broadcasting, telecommunication and Phone Service. IPTV provide broadcasting service and VOD(Video on Demand) service, and it must be satisfied digital content security. For this condition, IPTV Forum working on standardization of interface for digital content security. The Security solution for broadcasting and VOD are CAS(Conditional Access System) and DRM(Digital Rights Management). But these solutions manufactured by many vendors, so there is no inter-operablity. And after finished standardization of interface for CAS and DRM system, the problem of inter-operability with them will be issued. For this reason, Rights management system which possible to operate independently with platform is necessary. In this paper, To protect multimedia digital content, we designed and implemented Conditional Access Management System.

Recently IPTV that transmits multimedia contents in real time through internet, cable TV net and satelite net gets the limelight. But IPTV service that gives service to users by various media has a problem of not supporting user certification fully. This paper suggests a certification model which prevents getting access permission of IPTV service by sending illegal certification information by adolescent through integrating mobile communication technique with RFID(Radio Frequency IDentification) technique which is a key technique of Ubiquitous environment. This model performs the process of adult certification by keeping synchronization with user's certificaiton information that is saved in data-base of certification server and contents server after getting the system of class categorization in contents server to overcome disadvantage of simple adult certification system that is popular in the existing internet. Also, it adapts double hash chain technique not to down load illegally contents without the permission of manager even if an adolescent gets manager's approval key.

IPTV service is one of the representatives for the integration of broadcasting industry and communication industry, which also can meet users' various demands and provide efficient service. As the increasing number of IPTV users and contents servers, it is necessary to provide the safety authority system to prevent the illegal audio-visual, incorrect audio-visual authority, and illegal authority control. This thesis puts forward PKI(public Key Infrastructure) as the foundation key production mechanism. Through this mechanism, the key can be transferred safely to users and authenticate the ID of users and contents servers. In a word, our system can provide safe and efficient service for mutual authentication.

IPTV is well known services of TPS (Triple play service). Since TPS supplies the bundle service, service providers can supply low-priced services for their subscribers. To supply high quality contents stably, it is an essential requirement to make payment for the services. According to the type of services, either CAS or DRM is used to protect the pay-contents service. Also IPTV uses or will use these security systems to protect the service. In this paper, we will describe security problems when a IPTV service provider chooses either CAS or DRM, and then propose a new security system to solve the problems.

In this paper, we propose a web-based content syndication system in which users can easily choose Internet protocol television (IPTV) contents. This system generates personalized content guide to provide a list of IPTV contents with respect to users' interests and statistics information of their online social community. For this, IPTV contents and relevant metadata are collected from various sources and transformed. Then, the service and content metadata are processed by user metadata including audience measurement and community metadata. The metadata flows are separated from content flows of transport network. The implementation of IPTV content syndication system demonstrates how to arrange IPTV contents efficiently from content providers to the end user's screen. We also show that the user metadata including online community information are important for the system's performance and the user's satisfaction.

Domestic paid broadcasting market is largely classified into cable TV, satellite broadcasting and IPTV. Latest starter IPTV began its commercial service in 2009 and reached 10 million subscribers in August 2014 after 6 years of service. It has been growing rapidly by increasing more than 500 thousand subscribers every quarter and has taken its place firmly as one of core domestic paid broadcasting platforms, second only to cable TV. Even with this quantitative growth, 3 major IPTV companies are still running deficit, attracting attention to issue of the vitalization of IPTV business based on qualitative growth. This study draws out revitalizing and hindering factors of Korean IPTV industry through a case study on 'A' corporation which is leading domestic IPTV market and exploratory study based on interviews with experts and, by developing influencing factors into Causal Loop Diagram through system dynamics research methodology, draws out core issues in vitalization of domestic IPTV industry and suggests alternatives. Therefore, it is expected that this study will provide more diverse practical implications than preceding studies which drew out one-dimensional issues and alternatives and help vitalize Korean IPTV industry by minimizing negative effects and maximizing positive ones.

The fusion stream of recent broadcasting and communication make multimedia content served in the area of broadcasting into IPTV service which transmits it through high-speed internet, cable TV net and satellite net in realtime. However, as the digital broadcasting service is extended to various media, the security of IPTV service content provided to users by service provider is not fully supported by CAS(Conditional Access System) provided by existing broadcasting system. This paper proposes interactive certification protocol which can efficiently distinguish the receiving-qualification of user between Set-Top Box and Smart Card which are parts of configurations for IPTV system. The proposed protocol uses hash function to make Set-Top Box transmit receiving-qualification about the channel fee which user pays more properly than existing protocol. Also, the proposed protocol uses session key generated between receiver and smart card through inter certification process and encrypts EMM not the service to be used by anyone illegally.

While the broadband network and multimedia technologies have been developing, the commercial market of digital contents also has been widely spreading with recently starting IPTV. As the IPTV services are getting to be generalized and popularized, the contents illicit copying and distribution of copyright meterials tends to draw more attentions. So we need a right service system that can protect contents and copyright using watermark inserting. Until now, the conventional protection and authentication system is taking advantages of merits both in CAS and DRM. But this system can not protect the contents when acquiring them from TV output using A/D convertor. So we apply watermark method using HSI color space against contents illicit copying. And for distribution of copyright materials. we compound unique settop ID and copyrighter's ID to make new ID that is watermark. When inserting watermark, we use the watermark for copyright protection and authentication. So we can protect copyright and identify last settop's user in illicit distribution. we design download based IPTV contents protection and authentication system using HSI watermark method.
