4 Overview (informative)
The methodology is modelled after RadioDNS [i.1], using certain parameters provided in the broadcast for the identification of services. These could be digital parameters extracted from DVB Service Information, e.g. DVB-SI [3], or parameters encoded in a digital watermark that is inserted for the purpose of enabling th...

5.1 Introduction
This clause defines a method for discovery and signalling of broadcast-related applications, which are discovered and signalled via broadband, instead of being signalled as part of the broadcast channel as defined in clause 7.2.3.1 of ETSI TS 102 796 [1]. The structure of this clause reflects the fact that the present ...

Application discovery over broadband has been designed to limit risks posed by bad actors. Some known security risks are listed here and recommendations for their mitigation in deployments provided. 11.2 Modification of DVB Service Information or the VP1 Payload of the watermark
3a3e023f0bbc7bf133c249f8b740dda6

11.2.1 Risks
When an application is retrieved via broadband, the terminal determines the hostname of the Broadcaster DNS Root via DNS based on either DVB Service Information received from the tuner or the server_field of a VP1 payload retrieved from an audio watermark. Neither received DVB service info nor detected VP1 payload data...

11.2.3 Mitigation Techniques
The risk of DVB service info or VP1 payload data modification causing a malicious application being discovered can be mitigated by ensuring that the operational processes of the administrator of the hbbtvdns.org domain provide adequate safeguards to prevent the inclusion of DNS records that identify compromised or unau...

11.3.1 Risks
During application discovery using watermarks, dynamic event messages carried in the watermarks may be delivered to running broadcaster applications. The watermark-based dynamic event message delivery protocol does not provide message authentication by the terminal. If an intermediary has modified the dynamic event mes...

Broadcasters can mitigate the risk of dynamic event message modification by an intermediary by implementing dynamic event message authentication in in their HbbTV® application. Methods for dynamic event message authentication include carriage of message authentication codes in dynamic events message watermarks or alter...

11.4.1 Risks
When an application is retrieved via broadband, the terminal discovers the hostname of the Broadcaster DNS Root server and AIT server using DNS resolution. The specified DNS resolution protocol does not by provide a mechanism for the terminal to authenticate the hostnames received via this protocol in a manner that wou...

11.4.3 Mitigation Techniques
The HbbTV® organization can mitigate the risk of compromised DNS resolution by ensuring that the administrator of the hbbtvdns.org domain implement the DNSSEC protocol (IETF RFC 4033 [i.4], IETF RFC 4034 [i.5], IETF RFC 4035 [i.6]). Terminal manufacturers are advised to implement DNSSEC authentication (IETF RFC 4033 [i...

12.1 Introduction
Application discovery over broadband has been designed to protect the privacy of the end user. Service information and server addresses are generally stored within the terminal and DNS transactions are performed asynchronous to viewing activity in order to reduce information observable by third-parties. The information...

12.2.1 Risks
When an application is retrieved via broadband, the terminal resolves the hostname of the application server using DNS and retrieves the application from the application server using HTTP over TLS. If the hostname of an application server is uniquely associated with a single broadcast service, the DNS resolution of the...

12.2.3 Mitigation Techniques
Broadcasters can mitigate this risk by avoiding the use of hostnames or IP addresses with application servers that are uniquely associated with a single broadcast service.

103 464
12.4.1 Risks
Authoritative FQDN resolution using data from watermarks is generally performed asynchronously to the viewing of the service carrying that watermark. However, the first time a terminal detects a watermark conveying a specific server_field value, it will perform DNS record resolution using that value. The DNS resolution...
