Abstract
A method and system for activation of local content with legacy streaming systems are disclosed. In one embodiment, a storage device stores encrypted content. The encrypted content can be preloaded or downloaded into the storage device. To consume the content, a host device using the storage device receives a stream of data from a network. The host device then derives a key from the received stream of data and decrypts the encrypted content using the key derived from the received stream of data. Other embodiments are possible, and each of the embodiments can be used alone or together in combination.
Claims26
A host device comprising:
- a network interface through which the host device can connect to and communicate with a network;
- a storage device interface through which the host device can connect to and communicate with a storage device, wherein the storage device stores encrypted content;
- and
- a controller in communication with the network interface and the storage device interface, wherein the controller is configured to:
- receive a stream of data from the network;
- derive a key from the received stream of data;
- and
- decrypt the encrypted content using the key derived from the received stream of data.
A method for activation of local content, the method comprising:
- performing the following in a host device in communication with a storage device storing encrypted content:
- receiving a stream of data from a network;
- deriving a key from the received stream of data;
- and
- decrypting the encrypted content using the key derived from the received stream of data.
