Multiscreen Video Security Report 2013: Conditional Access and DRM Protect TV Everywhere Content


(M2 PressWIRE Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Dublin - Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/xw9p2b/multiscreen_video) has announced the addition of the "Multiscreen Video Security: Conditional Access and DRM Protect TV Everywhere Content" report to their offering.

Pay-TV operators have risen to the challenge of OTT video by extending the delivery of content to a variety of consumer electronics devices including connected TVs, smartphones, tablets, and more. This report covers the methods used to protect content as it moves outside the set-top box. Forecasts for conditional access and DRM are included, but other methods including watermarking, fingerprinting, key obfuscation and embedded root-of-trust are discussed. Products from eleven (11) leading security vendors are detailed along with the distribution and device types supported.

Executive Summary: But can content delivered to these consumer device platforms be protected against unauthorized use and piracy, to the satisfaction of their content suppliers? Pay-TV service providers have pressured their existing video security vendors to incorporate technologies used for Internet delivery into the offerings that they deploy into their managed networks, as well as outside of their service footprints. And to a great extent, they have.


Although conditional access systems (CAS) and digital rights management (DRM) are the linchpins of multiscreen security, a wide variety of additional security technologies have emerged to complement CAS and DRM, including watermarking, fingerprinting, software and key obfuscation, embedded root-of-trust, clone- and tamper-detection, and link-layer security. In fact, security systems suppliers now offer ecosystems that oversee all of these security components as a coordinated ecosystem.
