Verimatrix ViewRight™ STB

Software Based Security for any STB

The Verimatrix ViewRight STB client is a robust package of portable embedded code that implements VCAS security functions within each set-top box (STB) in a pay-TV system. ViewRight STB code has been designed to require only a minimum of resources from the STB hardware and run-time environment and to use a standardized set of simple interfaces to the middleware code also running on the STB. As a software-based security solution, ViewRight STB operates without the need for smartcard or other interface hardware and offers best of breed content security and revenue protection functions in a hardened implementation that incorporates signing, multiple levels of integrity checking, debugger detection, key obfuscation, and intrinsic renewability. ViewRight STB is integrated and operational on a wide variety of commercial STB hardware and software combinations, with new product support added on a regular basis.

User-specific Watermarking

ViewRight STB interfaces tightly with VideoMark™ - the industry's first secure and invisible content tracking solution that enables forensic, user-specific marking of video at each PC or STB client in a pay-TV system. The VideoMark payload is robust against a wide range of video content manipulations, with recovery of the unique client identification possible from all unauthorized analog and digital distribution formats. Because any pirated copies can be traced to a unique user, and not just a system operator, content owners are assured of protection that extends beyond the digital network. VideoMark also complies with the rigorous requirements of the Digital Cinema Initiatives, LLC (DCI).
