Abstract:
1. A method for processing encrypted data in a receiver device linked to a domestic digital network further comprising a source device and a recording device, wherein the receiver device stores a network active decryption key and all decryption keys of the domestic digital network used since a creation of the domestic network and furthermore stores a fingerprint of each stored decryption, each fingerprint being calculated with an aid of a one-way function applied to one of said stored decryption keys, the method comprising, in the receiver device: receiving the encrypted data from the source device or the recording device, the encrypted data comprising data encrypted by the source device using a symmetric encryption process with a network active encryption key and a key fingerprint corresponding to the network active encryption key; extracting said key fingerprint from the data received; comparing the extracted fingerprint with the stored fingerprints; and in case of equality between the extracted fingerprint and a stored fingerprint, decrypting the encrypted data with the key corresponding to said fingerprint.
