Verimatrix Video Content Authority System (VCAS™)
The Verimatrix Video Content Authority System (VCAS) offers an advanced suite of technologies that address content security challenges for the networks of today, and those of the future.
Supporting IPTV, traditional DVB broadcast and mobile networks, VCAS fully exploits the power and elegance of modern two-way IP infrastructure to provide a superior level of content security and revenue protection on STBs, PC and a growing range of other client devices. Even in DVB broadcast networks, cost and renewability requirements demand that the system architecture match evolving standards. Cryptographic and secure electronic transaction technologies proven in e-commerce applications, together with the increasingly sophisticated features of client device chipsets, enable VCAS to offer a more renewable and flexible implementation of content protection than that of traditional CA systems.
VCAS security has received very favorable results in independent audits and is the approved security choice in pay-TV operator deployments worldwide. VCAS incorporates pioneering features that provide the best security perimeter of any content protection system, enabling complete transparency for legitimate content consumption while significantly raising the level of protection against content piracy.
As the global leader in software-based security, VCAS offers flexibility in choice of client devices, broad middleware interoperability and proven scalability.
