Internet protocol television (IPTV), one of the most emerging services, offers multimedia streaming services with security, reliability, and relevant quality of service (QoS)/quality of experience (QoE). It provides added values to all the involving players and also brings technical and business challenges to them. For IPTV services, we expect to adopt the next generation network (NGN) environment for high quality and the Web technologies for personalization to meet the customer's necessity. Web can provide an open, flexible, and agile platform. Therefore, in this paper, we propose personalized IPTV services based on Web-based open platform in NGN environment and present functional architecture for Web-based personalized IPTV services. Technical issues for deploying the proposed IPTV services using Web are also provided. The objective of this paper is to analyze the critical architectural issues for developing viable and feasible networking platform models for personalized IPTV services.

Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) has emerged as a personal entertainment source for home users. Streaming IPTV content over a wireless medium with good Quality of Service (QoS) can be a challenging task as IPTV content requires more bandwidth and Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) are susceptible to packet loss, delay and jitter. This research presents the capacity of IPTV using User Datagram Protocol (UDP) and TCP Friendly Rate Control (TFRC) over IEEE 802.11ac WLANs in good and bad network conditions. Experimental results show that in good network conditions, UDP and TFRC could accommodate a maximum of 78 and 75 Standard Definition Television (SDTV) users, respectively. In contrast, 15 and 11 High-Definition Television (HDTV) users were supported by UDP and TFRC, respectively. Performance of UDP and TFRC was identical in bad network conditions and same number of SDTV and HDTV users were supported by TFRC and UDP. With background Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) traffic, both UDP and TFRC can support nearly the same number of SDTV users. It was found that TFRC can co-exist fairly with TCP by giving more throughput to TCP unlike UDP.

CAS(Conditional Access System) is used in Pay-TV System to prohibit unauthorized user(s) accessing the contents in IPTV broadcasting environment. In the CAS, Smartcard transfers CW which is necessary in the process of descrambling the scrambled program to STB. CW hacking problem is one of the most serious problems in pay-TV system. There have been many researches on generating secure communication channel between smartcard and STB for secure transmitting, But they had problems in efficiency and security. In this paper, we propose a lightweight key agreement protocol based on a symmetric key algorithm. We show that our proposed protocol is more efficient than existing protocols by comparing the amount of computations, and analyzing the security requirement of the proposed protocol.

IPTV 서비스는 인터넷 기반의 TV서비스를 말하는 것으로, 부가서비스로서 온라인게임, 전자상거래, 인터넷 전화를 제공하는 융복합형 신규 서비스이다. 인터넷 환경에서 TV를 서비스를 제공하기 위한 관련 표준화가 ITU-T IPTV-GSI에서 활발히 이루어지고 있으며, 보안 분야에서는 IPTV 보안 요구사항, 안전한 트랜스코더블 기법, IPTV에서의 키관리 기법 등의 표준화가 진행 중에 있다. 또한 IPTV 서비스에서의 실시간 방송을 위한 주요 핵심 통신기술인 멀티캐스트에 대한 보안 기술 표준화 또한 진행중에 있다. 중계 기반 멀티캐스트 전송 규격인 X.603.1이 2007년 2월에 표준으로 제정되었고, 이에 대한 보안 규격으로서 현재 ‘중계기반 멀티캐스트 보안 규격’이 ISO/IEC와 공동으로 표준화가 진행 중이며, ‘멀티캐스트 보안 요구사항 및 프레임워크’가 ITU-T SG17/Q9 응용서비스 보안분과에서 진행 중에 있다. 멀티캐스트 보안 관련 기술 표준화는 2010년 경에 완료될 것으로 보이며, 표준제정시 IPTV에서 전송기술로 X.603.1을 사용시 보안규격으로서 적용될 것으로 전망된다.

유선 IPTV 멀티캐스팅 서비스에서 증가되는 네트워크 트래픽 로드에 따른 화상 품질 측정과 화상 품질 변화에 대한 연구는 IPTV 서비스에 대한 관심이 현실화됨에 따라 필요하게 되었다. 또한, 다양한 무선 이동 단말의 등장으로 무선 IPTV 연구에서의 네트워크 트래픽 로드에 따른 화상 품질의 효과가 주어지는 네트워크 성능 확인 및 이를 활용하기 위한 보안에 대한 필요가 증대하게 되었다. 따라서 테스트 환경을 학교 네트워크로 확장하여 실제 IPTV 서비스 환경과 비슷한 학교 네트워크에서 네트워크 트래픽 로드 증가에 따른 무선 IPTV 멀티캐스팅 서비스에서의 보안 방안에 대해 연구하고자 한다.

IPTV technology for providing multimedia content with high-speed is the network which combines existing network, multimedia and internet technology etc. But internet, broadcasting and web technologies which is now being used is not optimized to IPTV because the security problem between user who gets content service through mobile units and content server is not guaranteed. This paper proposes user certification mechanism between mobile device and content server to receive the service which the user for the content chooses by mobile device safely. The proposed mechanism uses the random number which user creates and certification token for preventing illegal user who uses other's service that already paid. Also the proposed protocol encrypts the delicate data like user's information or profile using shared-key between java card attached on user's mobile device and grant sewer and then prevents reply attack which happens often in wireless section and man-in-the-middle attack by MAC.

Recently, there are several technologies for protecting information in the lightweight device, One of them, the AES[1] algorithm and CRT mode, is used for numerous services(e,g, OMA DRM, VoIP, IPTV) as encryption technique for preserving confidentiality. Although it is possible that the AES algorithm CRT mode can parallel process transmitting data, IPTV Set-top Box or Mobile Device that uses these streaming service has limited computation-ability. So optimizing crypto algorithm and enhancing its efficiency for those environment have become an important issue. In this paper, we propose implementation method that can improve efficiency of the AES-CRT Mode by improving algorithm logics. Moreover, we prove the performance of our proposal on the mobile device which has limited capability.

By employing the subscriber concept in broadcasting services, IPTV (Internet Protocol Television) operators provide various grades of services to subscribers based on the billing level of the subscribers. With the income from subscribers for a basis, IPTV operators plan to provide high quality services. Since Web browser-based IPTV provides T-commerce and E-commerce services as well as television services, users may frequently visit other service domains to buy goods or content. To provide the user with charged or private services, these service domains request authentication of user. The existing authentication system is not appropriate for the IPTV service environment because the environment unavoidably forces the user to cross from one authentication-based service domain to another. Single sign-on provides a user with transparent authentication services by enabling an authenticated user to move between authentication-based service domains without any re-authentication. Like this distributed environment, since the IPTV service environment also provides a variety of authentication-based services, transparent authentication service needs to be provided to subscribers who want to access charged or private services. In this paper, we propose a new user authentication scheme for the IPTV environment. This scheme integrates the Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML), which is a standard for XML-based single sign on. We validate this scheme using a simple use case scenario.

Multimedia Broadcast communication convergence services are broadcast communication convergence services new form that combines a platform technology for driving the application services of various media-related Internet and TV devices. It is possible to mounted the embedded OS of TV existing technology and to support a variety of smart application services to a TV technology evolved form equipped with various platforms on the OS. The services that are fused in this way, multi-media broadcasting communication convergence new services Open IPTV, Smart TV, mobile IPTV, and N-screen, are services actively focusing on three companies domestic services. However, in order to use the software to connect to the Internet for the provision of services, is inherent software vulnerabilities or the Internet. These vulnerabilities can lead to serious security incidents. Therefore, in this paper, or be able to derive the potential security threats that occur in multimedia broadcasting service environment based on security threats and vulnerabilities of existing threats lead to such security incidents in fact, the security it was carried out through a mock hacking validation for threats. It was also suggested necessary technical security measures that can be protect against security threats revealed by using the verification result through the penetration testing. Has been presented countermeasures in fusion communication service environment of multimedia broadcasting by using these results.

IPTV에서는 제공되는 컨텐츠에 대해 정당한 사용자만이 접근할 수 있도록 CAS를 사용한다. 사용자들의 네트워크 환경이 다양해지고 소유한 단말기도 성능과 규격이 다양화됨에 따라 사용자의 환경에 따라 수신할 수 있는 확장성 있는 비디오 코딩 방법들이 제시되고 있다. 이러한 방법으로 코딩된 컨텐츠를 CAS를 이용한 IPTV 환경에서 보호하기 위해서는 적절한 보호 기법이 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 최근 각광받고 있는 IPTV에서 확장성 있는 컨텐츠에 대한 수신 제한 기법을 제안하고자 한다.
