METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MANAGING ENCRYPTION KEYS BY MOBILE COMMUNICATION TERMINAL CONNECTED WITH SMARTCARD

摘要

A method and an apparatus are provided for managing encryption keys by a mobile communication terminal connected to a smartcard that stores the encryption keys. The mobile communication terminal receives and stores encrypted multimedia data, extracts recording key information corresponding to an encryption key from the received multimedia data, determines whether the extracted recording key information has been previously stored in a recording key database, and maps the extracted recording key information to identification information of the received multimedia data and stores mapping data therebetween in the recording key database when the extracted recording key information has not been previously stored in the recording key database.
