Abstract:
1. A method of managing control of access to at least one digital content as a function of at least one access entitlement and at least one access criterion, said digital content being transmitted to at least one terminal in the form of an encrypted data stream, wherein said access entitlement and said access criterion are previously stored in memory in the terminal, said access criterion being in association with an identifier, said identifier being a pointer to said access criterion, said method comprising the following steps executed in said terminal: a) receiving the encrypted data stream in association with a control message transmitting said identifier as provision for controlling access to the digital content; b) retrieving the previously stored access criterion as a function of the identifier received in the control message; and c) verifying whether the stored access entitlement enables decryption of the encrypted data stream and whether the retrieved access criterion is satisfied, in order, where appropriate, to authorize access to the content, wherein said identifier is the only provision for controlling access to the digital content received in association with the encrypted data stream.
