Seamless IPTV Wholesaler/Retailer Integration
The Verimatrix Remote Stream Manager (RSM) optimizes the configuration of IPTV wholesaler/retailer configurations by enabling seamless end-to-end encryption of broadcast channels combined with secure locally originated content. In multi-stage distribution architectures, IPTV retailers often require local control of subscriber authentication and an ability to combine community broadcast content with centrally broadcast channels. RSM is a VCAS component that is configured to provide efficient caching of decryption keys for centrally encrypted content and an optimized distribution of the required broadcast decryption keys to all local STB and PC client devices.
RSM acts as a special category of client to the central VCAS encryption system and retrieves master broadcast keys subject to retailer entitlements set by the IPTV wholesaler. These keys are securely inserted within the local VCAS database to enable local key management support to operate efficiently.
RSM extends the security perimeter of a multi-stage IPTV wholesaler/retailer distribution network by eliminating the requirement for local decryption and re-encryption at each retailer site. This also eliminates the need for additional costly equipment to be purchased, operated and maintained by the local IPTV retailers.
