ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus are provided for controlling access to digital signals sent via a first communication path and retransmitted over a second communication path. The digital signals, having been encrypted by a first encryption scheme and sent over the first communication path, are received and decrypted. The decrypted signals are then retransmitted over the second communication path using a second encryption scheme that differs from the first encryption scheme.
