In this paper, we propose a key distribution scheme for flexible chipset pairing conditional access system. Chipset pairing conditional access system is the implementation of CA (Conditional Access) module by using both embedded secure chip in a Set-Top Box(STB) and smartcard, and the secure chip embedded in a STB forms a secure channel between the smartcard and the STB. In short, it is the system that a smartcard outputs encrypted CW (Control Word) to the STB, and the STB decrypts an encrypted CW by using the embedded secure chip. The drawback of this chipset pairing conditional access system is that one smartcard is able to be used for only one specified STB since it is the system using the STB bound to a smartcard. However, the key distribution scheme proposed in this paper overcomes a drawback of current chipset pairing conditional access system by using Chinese Remainder Theorem(CRT). To be specific, with this scheme, one smartcard can be used for multiple, not single, STBs, and applied to current chipset pairing without great changes.

Recently,IP-based broadcasting systems,such as Mobile-TV and IP-TV, have been widely deployed. These systems require a security system to allow only authorized subscribers access to broadcasting services. We analyzed the Conditional Access System, which is a security system used in the IP-based Pay-TV systems. A weakness of the system is that it does not scale well when the system experiences frequent membership changes. In this paper, we propose a group key distribution protocol which overcomes the scalability problem by reducing communication and computation overheads without loss of security strength. Our experimental results show that computation delay of the proposed protocol is smaller than one of the Conditional Access System. This is attributed to the fact that the proposed protocol replaces expensive encryption and decryption with relatively inexpensive arithmetic operations. In addition, the proposed protocol can help to set up a secure channel between a server and a client with the minimum additional overhead.

CAS (Conditional Access System) is a content protection solution that restricts access to the system according to user's standing and only authorized users can access the content in a pay-TV system. DCAS (Downloadable Conditional Access System) can download CAS client which is a software implemented via network. In recent years, research and development has been carried out on DCAS to solve the problems of compatibility among heterogeneous devices and internetworking with other services. In this paper, we propose key generation and management scheme for efficient interoperability among different DCASs based on PBC (Pairing Based Cryptography).

The Conditional Access System is a complete system for ensuring that broadcasting services be accessible to only those who are entitled to receive them. Secure key management and efficient delivery mechanism are very important design factors to this system. In this paper, we propose secure and efficient protocols which would be well fitted to a Pay TV system including the satellite DMB. Further. by applying our protocol to the existing conditional access system, we propose a new system that properly enables the control of conditional access to the Pay TV in satellite DMB environment.

A realization for digital multimedia receiving system using Conditional Access System is presented in this paper. The key word for descrambling is make from smart card and Conditional Access System, a Stabilization is grow up in the method. It is possible to decoding that of average 15 fame/second of H.264 video format and that 24Khz${\sim}$48Khz audio sample rate using dual processor that of high performance DSP and RISC. This system is evaluated correct descrambling procedure in test stream added that signed user data.

In this paper, we investigate the possible security threats to downloadable conditional access system (DCAS) host devices. We then propose a DCAS secure micro (SM) and transport processor (TP) security protocol that counters identified security threats using a secure key establishment and pairing management scheme. The proposed protocol not only resists disclosed SM ID and TP ID threats and indirect connection between TA and TP threats, but also meets some desirable security attributes such as known key secrecy, perfect forward secrecy, key compromised impersonation, unknown key-share, and key control.

Digital Broadcasting Services get abroad from satellite services to terrestrial services and cable services. As broadcasting services become digital from analog, diverse services such as multi-channel, high quality, time-shift function and so on can be possible. It also generates new digital businesses. The Conditional Access System(CAS) is a technology for providing prevention of illegal access to digital contents. It was applied to digital satellite services at Europe and America from the beginning of 90's. In 2002, a domestic digital satellite service provider adopt a CAS system to their broadcasting services. DRM technologies protect intellectual properties and digital rights of digital contents. This paper suggests a design method to construct a CAS system with DRM which can be applied to a CAS for a small digital broadcasting service.

CAS(Conditional Access System) was developed for paid-for service in cable and fixed satellite broadcast system and technology and market maturity are high. However, these assessment is limited by CAS in fixed broadcasting system. In case of digital mobile broadcast such as T-DMB is difficult to apply CAS technology of fixed broadcasting system because of a use method and technology characteristic. Expecially, in case T-DMB using limited resources, a CAS message which must transmit in each service channel can cause problems. It is desirable that system transmits the CAS message which transmitted by each service channel through logical CAS message-only channel. In order to make a logical CAS message channel, we need a multiplexing techniques for CAS message using in each channel. In this paper, we design the CAS message multiplexing techniques for composition of CAS message-only channel.

In this paper, we proposed a novel conditional access system to reduce the overhead transmission rate for messages which verify the entitlement of subscribers in bandwidth-limited system. We adapted a key update system with the tree structure which had been used for IP multicast to a group hierarchy for the subscriber groups or channel groups. We also analyzed the overhead transmission rate for periodic key update and aperiodic one for change in a subscriber. The numerical evaluations show that the proposed system can significantly reduce the overhead transmission rate for dynamic subscriber change up to several hundred thousands times for various system configuration.

Currently broadcasting and telecommunication has integrated, And IPTV Service has appeared who called TPS(Triple Play Service) which integrated with broadcasting, telecommunication and Phone Service. IPTV provide broadcasting service and VOD(Video on Demand) service, and it must be satisfied digital content security. For this condition, IPTV Forum working on standardization of interface for digital content security. The Security solution for broadcasting and VOD are CAS (Conditional Access System) and DRM(Digital Rights Management). But these solutions manufactured by many vendors, so there is no inter-operability. And after finished standardization of interface for CAS and DRM system, the problem of inter-operability with them will be issued. For this reason, Rights management system which possible to operate independently with platform is necessary. In this paper, To protect multimedia digital content, we designed and implemented Conditional Access Management System.
