A SYSTEM FOR SECURE RE-DISTRIBUTION OF CONDITIONAL ACCESS CONTENT WITHIN A HOSPITALITY NETWORK.

摘要

The present invention relates to a system, a device and a method for securely redistributing conditional access content within a hospitality network. The content is received at a gateway server in the hospitality network, decrypted and re-scrambled by the gateway server and redistributed in re-scrambled format to one or more client devices within the hospitality network. The client devices are able to descramble the re-scrambled content, without using any special conditional access equipment, thanks to a shared secret, a shared algorithm and a publicly accessible value within the redistributed content.
