(Last updated 23 March 2006) Name : Joerg Heuer Email : [email protected] MIME media type name : Application MIME subtype name : Vendor Tree - vnd.dvb.ipdcesgaccess Required parameters : none Optional parameters : none Encoding considerations : binary This media type may require encoding on transports not capable of handling binary. Security considerations : DVB ESG Access Descriptors specify information for acquisition of ESGs. This information is provided to signal the receiver how to consume available ESG information. This ESG Access Descriptor should not be trusted unless it has been obtained by an authenticated transport protocol from a trusted source. Many different transport protocols may be used to distribute ESG Access Descriptors, and the nature of the authentication will differ from transport to transport. One transport that will frequently be used to distribute ESG Access Descriptors is the FLUTE Protocol. FLUTE supports both encryption and authentication mechanisms but due to the nature of the communication of ESG Access Descriptors it is likely that there are many occasions where the originator of a ESG Access Descriptor cannot be authenticated because they are previously unknown to the receiver of the descriptor and also because no common public key infrastructure is available. On receiving an ESG Access Descriptor over an unauthenticated transport mechanism or from an untrusted party, software parsing the described session should take a few precautions. An ESG Access Descriptor contains information required to start software on the receivers system. Software that parses an ESG Access Descriptor MUST NOT be able to start other software except that which is specifically configured as appropriate software to consume DVB IPDC ESGs. The ESG Access Descriptor specified in ETSI 102 471 does not contain executable code. Interoperability considerations : none Published specification : This MIME type is described fully in ETSI 102 471 IP Datacastover DVB- H: Electronic Service Guide (ESG). Applications which use this media : This media type is used by ESG Applications to discover and acquire ESGs available over DVB-H. Additional information : 1. Magic number(s) : none 2.
