Cable, satellite, terrestrial and IPTV operators can improve their competitive position by adopting next-generation security strategies that minimize constraints of legacy “conditional access” systems.
Operators can choose from several approaches when upgrading pay-TV networks. Which approach to choose depends on the challenges posed by the “compelling event” or trigger point that moves content security to the front burner, such as:
- Augment broadcast services with interactive services and on-demand content from IP-based networks
- Transition from analog to digital TV by leapfrogging switched digital to a hybrid DVB/IP or all-IP framework
- Optimize bandwidth utilization via MPEG-4 compression or adaptive rate streaming
- Provide transparent usage rights management for a seamless subscriber experience across multiple devices.
This paper describes the security challenges and transition options that are intrinsic to many pay-TV operator situations.
