  • As hybridisation of broadcast and IP platforms gathers pace, pay-TV operators are no longer constrained to use traditional smartcard-based conditional access systems. This paper gives an overview of the DVB CA system, discusses which type of CA approach (card-based or cardless) is suitable for which type of network, and offers conclusions about how the conditional access industry is likely to change in the future. It also draws attention to the fact that there is a weakness at the heart of the DVB approach to CA, currently being exploited through a piracy technique called control-word sharing

  • This paper explains the nature of the weakness at the heart of the DVB’s approach to CA (alluded to in the previous White Paper), and argues that the rise of broadband and platform hybridisation means the DVB’s hardware-based common scrambling algorithm (DVB-CSA) urgently needs replacing. It goes on to suggest that pay-TV piracy caused by control-word sharing could be addressed by the DVB’s adoption of a toolkit-based approach to conditional access, which could reconcile regulatory and competition requirements with operators’ business and technology needs.
