Entropic to Embed NAGRA NOCS 3 Security Into Its Portfolio of Advanced Platform Set-Top Box System-on-a-Chip Solutions
January 07 2014 - 8:00AM
(International Consumer Electronics Show) –
Entropic (Nasdaq:ENTR), a world leader in semiconductor solutions
for the connected home, today announced it is working with NAGRA,
the digital TV division of the Kudelski Group (SIX:KUD.S) and the
world's leading independent provider of content protection and
multiscreen television solutions. Through this engagement, Entropic
will embed NAGRA's latest NAGRA-On-Chip Security (NOCS 3)
conditional access and digital rights management technology into
its complete line of advanced hybrid broadcast/IP set-top box (STB)
system-on-a-chip (SoC) solutions.
The NOCS 3 technology provides a unified and certified hardware
root of trust by transferring key security functionality from the
device to the SoC, which in turn gives Pay-TV operators the proper
level of content protection required to maximize revenues by
controlling access to premium content, both to secure revenues from
subscribers and to protect content owners' material from illegal
copying and distribution. Additionally, by moving the security
functionality to the SoC, the cost and complexity of developing
secure STBs is significantly reduced, which enables device
manufacturers to bring new STB products to market faster.
"Our NOCS 3 technology is recognized by leading content owners
as a key element for securing content on global Pay-TV networks,"
said Maurice van Riek, senior vice president, Content and Asset
Security, NAGRA. "We partnered with Entropic because they have an
advanced hybrid broadcast/IP SoC platform, which has generated a
lot of interest from our customers for the next-generation set-top
box solutions."
"We believe that in working with the NAGRA team, we can fully
support a diverse group of set-top box manufacturers focused on
advancing the delivery and content protection of global Pay-TV
content," said Matt Rhodes, senior vice president, Global
Marketing, Entropic. "Our goal has always been to integrate NOCS 3
support for multi-Conditional Access/Digital Rights Management into
our chipsets to best empower global Pay-TV operators with the
ability to deliver secure premium content and services to multiple
screens within the home."

Entropic SoC products embedded with NAGRA's NOCS 3 technology

EN753x/EN754x/EN755x, and the powerful dual-core STB SoC line,
