infrastructure for issuing public key certificates to identify broadcasters and viewers required
privacy and integrity issues similar to the Internet.
"MHP certification procedures” currently blank.
Notes:
MHP uses cryptographic hash codes, digital signatures and digital certificates derived from internet standards are used. This will require an infrastructure for issuing public key certificates to identify broadcasters and viewers, with similar privacy and integrity issues as the Internet. The standard contains a section reserved for "MHP certification procedures", but this is currently blank. Broadcasters who are accustomed to issuing closed technology to subscribers containing secret security features may have difficulty adjusting to the Internet's more open procedures.
