A novel scheme is presented for Traffic Encryption Key (TEK) rekeying with low communication overhead for an Internet Protocol television (IPTV) conditional access system over Data-Over-Cable Service Interface Specifications (DOCSIS) 3.0. The proposed scheme utilizes the DOCSIS system synchronization for periodic TEK rekeying instead of a conventional TEK rekeying negotiation process. Analysis shows that the communication overhead is only 0.012 Kbps when TEK rekeying frequency is 1 second.

In this paper, we propose an UCC broadcasting system in P2P based IPTV environments. Proposed system applies P2P based multiple chain architecture. UCC broadcasting system transfers data from not ISP server but UCC server peer that is included in DSLAM to joined peers. Therefore an algorithm to manage join and departure of peers have to modified. In this paper we propose an algorithm that does not increase an uplink bandwidth of DSLAM that include UCC server when peer joins to the UCC channel. We will show the improved performance of proposed scheme rather than general method with respect to the uplink bandwidth of DSLAM that include UCC server.

With the discontinuation of analog broadcasting in 2012, the cable broadcasters are investing in the conversion to DCATV (Digital Cable TV). DCATV is providing various broadcast of high quality to audiences through paid broadcasting called PPV (Pay Per View). Such services are using various kinds of CASs (Conditional Access System) in order to verify the viewing rights of subscriber. In addition, to respond to the fast changing environment of digital broadcast, not only simple digitalization of broadcast but also services such as PVR (Personal Video Recorder) and VOD (Video On Demand) are provided to subscribers. Because these additional services have many difficult areas to cover with traditional CAS alone, a new plan has become necessary. With the improvement of related regulations in 2008, the test service of IPTV (Internet Protocol TV) which is a broadcast service through the internet started. Because like DCATV, IPTV also sets the real time broadcast and the VOD service as the basic services, the use of appropriate CAS is required. In this study, the CASs for DCATV and IPTV undergo comparative analysis, and the development direction which will benefit both subscribers and broadcasting companies is suggested.

Recently there are so many media contents created and used by variety routes. Therefore, it is essential to make a new platform which is used for distributing media contents include IPTV. With open IPTV service, developing the new platform became even more important. Because open IPTV makes it possible for consumers to choose contents regardless of contents of the providers. The new platform has to accept current variety service structure. MPEG-21 multimedia framework was developed to satisfy these needs. It presented the distribution framework of the contents but didn't restrict the particular solutions for protecting the rights. In this paper, we present authoring and consuming system for package contents based on MPEG-21 Multimedia Framework for distributing media resources and managing the license of multimedia contents

This paper presents an effective IPTV channel control algorithm considering network utilization and channel zapping time. The proposed algorithm keeps maximum average channel zapping time of each subscriber in the tolerable range with low network bandwidth usage by adjusting the type of each channel and the number of additional intra frames inserted into each channel. Finally, experimental results are provided to show the performance of the proposed algorithm.

IPTV (Internet Protocol Television) is an efficient system which serves various contents to subscribing consumers by using the IP over a broadband connection. The IPTV services can be multi-channel broadcasting service, VoD, T-Commerce, video conference, on-line game and so on. TV Anytime metadata provides various description tools for TV program contents by which TV program contents can serve more information. In this paper, we mention about the overview and feature of IPTV and TV Anytime metadata, propose the essential functions in the EPG program of IPTV and survey the description tools for the proposed functions in EPG. Finally, we show the authored metadata and the implementation of advanced EPG application.

Due to the advancement of IPTV technologies, open IPTV services are a step closer to becoming reality. In such service environment, users are able to enjoy IPTV services using a variety of devices available at their home domain. However, it is impossible to get such flexible services at their convenience unless each of devices is individually connected to Set-Top-Box (STB) because of Conditional Access System (CAS) or service providers otherwise allow STB to freely distribute decoded contents to every user devices attached to STB. In this paper, we propose a key management scheme for securely distributing contents from STB to multiple user devices at home domain. The proposed scheme also makes the service providers be able to control the access rights to each of user devices without installing individual STBs. It is achieved by computationally dividing a private key of RSA signature scheme into three parts and thus makes possible to distribute the contents scrambled through a underlying CAS mechanism without re-encrypting them that the existing scheme should employ. It improves significantly computation and communication complexities, maintaining it as secure as the existing schemes. Additionally, it prevents misbehaving users from illegally distributing the contents from STB to their devices available at home domain.

In accordance with the development of broadcasting, the style of using medium by users has been personalized in the propensity to consume. Recent advent of media convergence allowed users of medium to decide the received environment for their needs, thereby the position of users has become more important in the medium consumption. IPTV has the most advanced form of personalized information media. However, IPTV was made by media convergence, which has relation with a variety of interested parties, so there are a few troubles among them in the way of commercializing IPTV. As a matter of fact, although users play a leading role in the IPTV industry, there are still few discussions on the welfare of users. IPTV should be remained the characteristic of the medium of personalized information, and it should include the welfare of users in various fields of media convergence. That is Universal Service. It is necessary to be guaranteed the access right and the variety of contents in using IPTV. Moreover, in terms of telecommunication, IPTV should insure the reasonable fare system as a pay-services. On the basis of the analysis in local and international IPTV circumstances, in terms of content as a medium of personalized information, in terms of fares as a pay-services, and in terms of digital literacy as a new medium of digital access, policies for welfare of users are suggested.

IPTV contents are based on MPEG2-TS(Moving Picture Expert Group-2 Transport Stream). The Created content is delivered to each home's Set-Top box through the Internet service network, which will be visible on television through the decoding process. The using and spending of content expanding were quite limited in the other existing lines' devices. For this end, provided methods are to convert MPEG2-TS to other format and then transmit it. These methods are causing not only an overload to the system but also its increasing the hardware resource requirements. In this paper, the MPEG2-TS of IPTV's content using RTP(Real time Transport Protocol) provided by the applicable variety of devices and environmental system, was designed and implemented. Through this paper, the existing MPEG2-TS is providing other devices for distribution and consumption that can give better content to the consumers which means that the QoS(Quality of Service) was enhanced. And, the increased consumption and use of content will help the IPTV business to get more development and activation.
