Conditional Access in Mobile Systems: Securing the Application

This paper describes two protocols for the secure download of content protection software to mobile devices. The protocols apply concepts from trusted computing to demonstrate that a platform is in a sufficiently trustworthy state before any application or associated keys are securely downloaded. The protocols are designed to allow mobile devices to receive broadcast content protected by proprietary conditional access applications. They may also be applied in the general case where demonstration of a secure execution environment is required before an application is downloaded.
