VCAS for Mobile
Verimatrix sets the standard for software-based content security and revenue enhancement technologies in pay-TV networks, with a global customer base of telecommunications providers. The Verimatrix Video Content Authority System™ (VCAS) offers a suite of next-generation technologies that protect content and enhance revenue streams, while combating digital piracy wherever it occurs within the entertainment distribution chain.
Verimatrix is extending its lead in software-based content security solutions with the VCAS for Mobile™ – DVB-H, which is designed specifically for DVB-H and mobile system operators that do not require, and in many cases do not desire, smart cards.
Thus VCAS for Mobile has been designed from the ground up without requiring a removable hardware security device, hence lowering the cost of the handset as well as removing the logistical needs of card distribution. VCAS for Mobile uses best-of-breed cryptographic techniques, has an optional innovative client device renewal method and supports the DVB standards providing for seamless integration with DVB Simulcrypt head-end equipment from major vendors.

The VCAS for Mobile system features the Verimatrix ViewRight security kernel in the mobile device. The ViewRight Mobile client is a robust package of portable embedded code that implements VCAS security functions within handsets and other portable devices in a Mobile TV system.
ViewRight Mobile 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.
The company's content security experts maintain close relationships with the major Hollywood studios to help address the challenges facing pay-TV networks of today, and those of tomorrow. Verimatrix customers benefit with most favorable access to premium content, enabling the richest, most versatile viewing experience for their digital video subscribers.
