Abstract
The current mobile broadcast systems do not provide efficient solution for consumption of service and content based on the user identity card such as a smartcard. This prevents users from consuming broadcast service and contents independent of a specific terminal (e.g., the one used for registration or purchase). To provide usage of broadcast services based on the user identity card, mutual authentication needs to be established among the service provider, the terminal, and the user identity card whenever the terminal is changed. The crucial element for this is assuring the service provider, the terminal, and the user identity card by authenticating each entity to the other entities. In this paper, we propose the new authentication scheme, which provides efficient scheme for three kinds of mutual authentications among the service provider, the terminal, and the user identity card. We also construct mobile broadcast DRM system based on the proposed authentication scheme for consumption of broadcast services with multiple terminals.

Digital rights management (DRM) is widely recognized as an important tool for managing contents around wireless or wired network
DRM has extended its area to mobile broadcast systems such as DVB-H [1] and open mobile alliance (OMA) BCAST [2, 3]

Summary
Digital rights management (DRM) is widely recognized as an important tool for managing contents around wireless or wired network. The current mobile broadcast DRM systems do not provide efficient solution for rights portability with the user identity card (UIC). Even though the smartcard profile [2] uses universal subscriber identity module (USIM) [10] or removable user identity module (R-UIM) [11], but it does not provide efficient mechanism for rights portability in mobile broadcast services. Previous authentication protocols [12,13,14] and DRM systems using the user identity [15, 16] do not satisfy above security requirements for mobile broadcast systems. We present the mobile broadcast DRM based on the proposed authentication scheme for rights portability.
