The traditional role of conditional access
Today’s conditional access systems
The conditional access system provides the user with a technical facility
In recent years, broadcasting and information society services have been
making ever-increasing use of conditional access devices.
conditional access is the term used to describe
A conditional access system is defined as
The main conditional access techniques
• password devices
• encryption devices
The two main functions
• control function
• security function
control function
• CA devices are designed to control access to content or services
security function
• Security aspects of CA can play a role in different stages of the
transmission
Broadcasting is the distribution of audio and/or video signals
which transmit programs to an audience.
Analogue satellite broadcasting
• A method to store information as continuously signals instead of
electronic codes.
Digital Broadcasting
A way of sending voice, video, or data that reconstructs the
signals using binary codes (1s and 0s) for transmission through
wire, fiber optic cable, videoconference, or over air techniques .
Especially in IS services, conditional access systems are often
used for the protection of privacy and data.
This is used to create trust into the security among users
without which the service would also not be sustainable.
Identification of users in addition to protection against
un authorised access.
reduces costs especially for broadcasting service
privacy protection
restrict access to unpaid services
security to the data
Increasing use of wide-area open networks
• Initially, broad casting was terrestrial, where the signal had only a
limited reach.
Better CA devices
• With the increasing availability of cheap computing power, CA
devices have become far more powerful over the recent years.
Convergence of transport media
• Traditionally broadcasting has happened via air, satellite or broadband
cable.
Increasing use of open wide-area technologies like satellite
and Internet requires the implementation of CA in order to
protect services and to restrict services to target groups.
Technical progress in the field of CA systems advances
quickly, which makes modern properly used CA systems
much more difficult to pirate than older ones.
Conditional access devices can be far more than mere payment
systems.
In this sector, the identification and security function of
ca plays a leading role for a variety of legal and economic reasons.
In all forms of digital forecasting, CAD are using.
