<p>Embodiments of the invention provide a method, system and corresponding components to authenticate a host device (1). An established process for coupling a module (2) and a host device (1) is used, the established process allowing the host device and module to mutually authenticate each other. A third entity, an authentication server (17), is then used to authenticate the module using an identification stored in the module such as a private key, or other ID information. By virtue of remotely authenticating the module, and the mutual authentication between the module and the host device, the authentication server is able to trust the host device and proceed to a next step, such as providing access rights to the host device to access content.</p> |
