1. An apparatus comprising:
- a processor core;
a subscriber identity module (SIM) maintaining a subscriber identity that is sent to a service provider; and
a module executable via the processor core to;
form a request to be communicated to a service provider via a wireless data network that includes the subscriber identity obtained from the SIM and one key of an encryption key pair corresponding to the apparatus;
receive an encrypted response to the request that includes a license having the subscriber identity, a service identifier to indicate content that is requested, and one or more keys to decrypt content received from a content provider that is a different entity than the service provider, via a broadcast network, wherein the encrypted response is encrypted using the transmitted key of the encryption key pair corresponding to the apparatus; and
select the content by a browser using the service identifier.

Abstract
Secure rights protection for broadcast mobile content techniques are described in which broadcast content may be securely provided to a mobile device. In one or more embodiments, this is accomplished by requesting and issuing of a content license via a data network based upon a subscriber identity module (SIM) of a mobile device. The license may then be utilized by the mobile device to output content received via a broadcast network.
