Verimatrix Video Content Authority System (VCAS™)
VCAS offers an advanced suite of technologies that address content security challenges for the pay-TV networks of today, and those of the future. Traditional conditional access systems are architected around one-way communications, while Verimatrix has designed its solutions from the ground up using the power and integrity of modern two-way IP infrastructure. Cryptographic and e-commerce technologies proven on the Internet, including PKI and X.509 certificates, enable VCAS to offer a more sophisticated level of content protection than traditional smartcard-based systems.
