ABSTRACT:
In a method and apparatus for controlling the operation of a signal decoder in a broadcasting system, a broadcast signal and an encrypted signature are generated and the signature is added to the signal. The signal together with the signature is broadcasted and received in the decoder, where the signature is decrypted and compared with a verification value. If a match occurs, further operation of the decoder is allowed. If a match does not occur, further operation of the decoder is disallowed.
