India's largest satellite TV operator to deploy
integrated security core in cardless set-top boxes
Rambus Inc. (NASDAQ:RMBS) today announced that Dish TV
India has selected the CryptoMedia Security Platform for use in its
pay TV satellite system. The platform, which includes a hardware
root-of-trust embedded in the set-top box chipset, ensures secure
distribution of premium content for cable and satellite operators
while eliminating the need for a smart card and enhancing usability
of the set-top box.
“As we look to grow our customer base from the current 13
million subscribers, the demand for cost-effective and robust
content protection solutions becomes increasingly important for
consumers seeking premium content,” said Jawahar Goel, Managing
Director of Dish TV India. “By leveraging the embedded CryptoMedia
core, we no longer need a smart card to provide secure access to
premium content, significantly reducing the cost and improving the
security of the set-top box.”
The CryptoMedia Content Protection Core, developed by Rambus
Cryptography Research, is one of several new security elements to
be integrated in Dish TV India’s latest set-top boxes. Together
with the CryptoMedia operator services, the solution provides a
flexible security foundation that allows Dish TV India to easily
update and reconfigure software and hardware security throughout
the lifecycle of the set-top box. Dish TV India will launch the new
platform in broad commercial operation this fall.
“By using the CryptoMedia Content Protection Core, Dish TV India
recognizes the value of enabling another level of protection in the
set-top box chipset alongside security elements provided by CAS
vendors,” said Dr. Martin Scott, senior vice president and general
manager of the Security Division at Rambus. “Our CryptoMedia
Security Platform provides Dish TV India with extra protection for
the delivery of content, utilizing our expertise in both embedded
security and ecosystem enablement.”
Formerly part of the CryptoFirewall family, the CryptoMedia
Content Protection Core is designed to provide strong security and
superior system design flexibility for premium content
distribution. The solution minimizes the risk of security failure
and helps simplify product development. The core is available in a
broad range of set-top box and smart TV chipsets and is compatible
with the leading CAS and DRM systems to prevent unauthorized access
to content and services, including features like pay-per-view
and service-tier upgrades.
