Direct-to-home (DTH) operator Dish TV has selected American technology company Rambus’ 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 (STB) 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 STB.
“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.
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 STB,” said Dish TV India MD Jawahar Goel.
The CryptoMedia Content Protection Core, developed by Rambus Cryptography Research, is one of several new security elements to be integrated in Dish TV’s latest STBs.
Together with the CryptoMedia operator services, the solution provides a flexible security foundation that allows Dish TV to easily update and reconfigure software and hardware security throughout the lifecycle of an STB.
Dish TV will launch the new platform in broad commercial operation this fall.
“By using the CryptoMedia Content Protection Core, Dish TV India recognises the value of enabling another level of protection in the STB chipset alongside security elements provided by CAS vendors.
Our CryptoMedia Security Platform provides Dish TV India with extra protection for the delivery of content, utilising our expertise in both embedded security and ecosystem enablement,” said Rambus SVP and GM of security Martin Scott.
