摘要

Methods and apparatus are disclosed for a content encryption scheme using programmable hardware. In one embodiment, a content request is transmitted to a content provider. In response to the content request, a session key is received and programmable hardware is configured using the session key to produce a first configuration. An identification key is generated and the first configuration of the programmable hardware is used to encrypt the identification key.
