Verimatrix Content Security Manager™


Core Content Security for Pay-TV Systems

The Verimatrix Content Security Manager (CSM) is the core component of the most advanced software-based content security system available - the Verimatrix Video Content Authority System (VCAS). CSM enables and supports all features and options within a VCAS secured pay-TV system, including broadcast/multicast only, VOD only, or hybrid broadcast and VOD network deployments with secure, real-time key distribution for the full spectrum of content services. CSM is also equipped to support deployment of advanced interactive pay-TV features such as PVR and nPVR in conjunction with other head-end components. CSM acts as the root Certificate Authority in a PKI hierarchy, using X.509 certificates to validate and authorize all content protection communication within the pay-TV network, including messaging between VCAS sub-system components as well as between the head-end system and authenticated client STBs and PCs in subscriber households.

Implementations of CSM can be cost effectively scaled to meet any size of operator deployment by distributing system components across clusters of servers and database engines, using load balancing and fail-over support for each mission critical component. Interfaces to middleware packages are flexible and lightweight, with both push and pull models for access to subscriber entitlement data.
