1 NEXT GENERATION MULTI-NETWORK DIGITAL TV SECURITY By Naveen Kumar Sales Director, SAARC Nations for Verimatrix Inc CABLE TV DIGITALIZATION IN INDIA The upcoming digitalization of cable TV networks in India is one of the largest undertakings of its kind in the world. It presents operators and technology vendors with challenges and opportunities like never before in the history of television in India. Digital TV delivery technologies, while offering opportunities for subscriber and revenue growth, also present new content and revenue security challenges. This article will look at these challenges and discuss some solutions related to conditional access (CA) and digital rights management (DRM). DIGITAL TV SECURITY THE CORNERSTONE OF DIGITAL PAY-TV All pay-tv operators share the fundamental objective to securely monetize content and specifically to protect content and services from unauthorized access, a.k.a. piracy. They have a particular desire to secure their video services that is, their service revenue streams - from various types of threats, such as theft of service, smart card piracy, device cloning, etc. As pay-tv moves to digital delivery in India, operators must prepare to address ever evolving threat models. While security in analog cable TV systems is primarily focused on preventing theft of service, the threat models are different and more challenging when introducing digital TV services. Therefore, as Indian cable TV operators go through the analog-todigital transition, they must proactively plan for and address a unique set of technology issues. Ultimately, the objective is to choose a security policy and technology path taken that minimizes costs NAVEEN KUMAR AgalaI piz,i vaalao malti naotvak- idijatla TIvaI ki saurxaa laokk navaina kumaar vaorimaoit/@sa [Mk ko ilae saak- dosaaom ko ivaëya inadosak hom Baart maom kobala TIvaI ka idijatlaikrna Baart maom kobala TIvaI naotvakao-m ki AagaamaI idijatlaikrna ivasva maom ApnaI trh ko sabasao bad,o ]pëmaaom maom sao ek ho.yah Aa^proTraoM AaOr tknaiki ivaëtaaaom kao eosai caunaaoityaam va Avasar p`dana kr rha ho jaao ik Baart ko TolaIivajana [ithasa maom phlao kbai nahim doknao kao imalai.idijatla TIvaI idilavari tknaiki ]pbaao@ta va rajasva ivakasa ko ilae sambaavanaaaaom kao p`stut krnao ko saaqa saaqa nayai saamaga`i va rajasva saurxaa caunaaoti BaI p`dana krta ho.yah laok [na caunaaoityaaom pr Qyaana Dala rha ho AaOr kmidsanala e@saosa ³saIe va idijatla ra[t\sa maonaojamaomt ³DIAarema sao sambamiqat kuc ]paya pr ivacaar ivamasa- krogaa. idijatla TIvaI saurxaa idijatla po TIvaI ki AaQaariSalaa sabai po TIvaI Aa^proTraoM kao saurixat maud`ikrna saamaga`i sambamqai maaoilak ]_osyaaom ki ihssaodari krnai pd,ti ho AaOr Kasakr saovaa va saamagaì kao gaor kanaunai e@saosa yaaina pa[rosai sao bacaanaa haota ho.]naki ivasaoya $p sao [cca haoti ho ik vao ApnaI vaiidyaao saovaaaaom kao ³jaao ik ]naki saovaa ka rajasva sa`aot ho ivaibanna trh ko Ktro jaosao [saki saovaa ki caaori smaat- kad- ki pa[rosai naklai ]pkrna Aaid sao bacaanaa ho.aba jabaik Baart maom po TIvaI ki idijatla idilavari ki toyaari cala rhi ho tao Aa^proTraoM kao sabai trh ko Ktro kao sambaaoiqat krnao vaalao maa^dla kao ivakisat krnaa haogaa. ekaaor enaalaa^ga kobala TIvaI isastma maom saurxaa ka p`aqaimak komd`ibamdu saovaa ki caaori raoknaa qaa tao jaba Aap idijatla TIvaI saovaaaaom kao p`stut kr rho hom tao Ktro ka maa^dla Alaga AaOr AiQak caunaaotipuna- haogaa.[sailae jabaik BaartIya kobala TIvaI Aa^proTr enaalaa^ga sao idijatla sqaanaamtrna ki Aaor jaa rho hom tao ]nhom tknaiki maamalao kao sambaaoiqat krnao ko ilae saiëya yaaojanaa haonai caaihe.amt maom diga-kala maom saovaa ³rajasva ja$rtaom sao inabatnao ki xamata ka %yaaga SATELLITE & CABLE TV 89

2 without sacrificing the ability to meet service (revenue) requirements in the long run. The choice of security technology is both critical and fundamental to the future competitiveness and financial performance of Indian cable TV operators. DIGITAL TV SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS While Indian cable operators consider and plan for the transition from analog to digital, it behooves them to consider in parallel the value brought by digital TV security providers. Related to digital TV security are also considerations such as: Choosing MPEG-2 or MPEG-4 video formats. Offering standard definition (SD) services only, or including high definition (HD) from the outset. Adding hybrid IP-based solutions to managed broadcast networks. Adding over-the-top (OTT) IP services over unmanaged networks to off-the-shelf CE devices. Indian cable TV operators, whether small or large, should realize that a flexible and effective digital TV security architecture can be an essential enabler of innovative business models and improve their competitiveness. The choice of the overall security solution is therefore a critical strategic decision. This consideration also shifts the perspective of the security technology from traditional content protection to the broader concept of revenue security. There are many pay-tv security factors, not least financial, which need to be considered, such as: Initial purchase cost (CAPEX) Operational cost (OPEX) Cost of unresolved security breach (loss of revenue) Cost to overcome a security breach (security renewal) STB certification cost and lead time Choice and availability of STBs (competition among STB vendors) Ability to license premium content (trusted CA/DRM vendor) CONTENT OWNERS CONCERNS Licensing of quality ( premium ) content is the cornerstone of a successful pay-tv enterprise. ikyao ibanaa ek eosai saurxaa naiit va tknaiki pa^qa ka caunaava krnaa haogaa jaao ik Kca- kao nyaunatma kro.saurxaa tknaiki ka caunaava BaartIya kobala TIvaI Aa^proTraoM ko p`itspqai- BaivaYya AaOr iva<aiya p`dsa-na daonaaom ko ilae mah%vapuna- va maaoilak ho. idijatla TIvaI saurxaa sambamqai baatom halaamik BaartIya kobala Aa^proTr enaalaa^ga sao idijatla samëmana ko ilae ivacaar va yaaojanaaem banaa rho hom saaqa hi yah ]nhom idijatla TIvaI saurxaa p`dayakaom Wara kaya- ko samaamtr pr pirmaana pr BaI ivacaar krnao ki baat krta ho.idijatla TIvaI saurxaa sao jaud,o kuc laaoga [sa trh BaI ivacaar kr rho hom: emapi[-jai2 yaa emapi[-jai4 vaiidyaao fa^rmaot ka caunaava krom. isaf- stomdd- DoifinaSana ³esaDI saovaa hi Aa^fr ikyaa jaae yaa p`armba sao ha[- DoifinaSana ³ecaDI Saaimala ikyaa jaae. p`saarna naotvak- ko p`bamqa ko ilae ha[-iba`d Aa[-pI AaQaairt ]paya Saaimala ikyaa jaae. svayam sai[- ]pkrnaaom kao bamd krnao ko ilae Ap`baMiQat naotvak- ko }pr Aaovar d Ta^p ³AaoTITI Aa[-pI saovaa kao Saaimala ikyaa jaae.

3 For movie studios and other content providers the threat of large-scale piracy, which could undermine the lifetime revenue potential of their products, is a major concern. Moreover, the commercial stakes for HD content are significantly higher than those of SD and 3D has been added to the mix in some parts of the world. Content providers focus on enforcing digital rights through a combination of technological and legal processes. Rights owners and pay-tv operators alike expect digital TV security vendors to address the evolving challenges through a set of technologies and tools that encompass complete revenue security, during content creation, storage, delivery, and consumption and beyond the network too.

4 choosing a security vendor that is well known among, and trusted by, the content providers. There is only one criterion that truly matters: a successful track record of pay-tv operator deployments around the world. DIGITAL TV SECURITY A BRIEF HISTORY When digital TV was first introduced in Europe in the mid 90s, all broadcast networks were one-way in nature, i.e. they had no return channel from the STB to the head-end. The technology approach was to protect the pay-tv secrets, such as subscriber entitlements and decryption keys, in a smart card provided to the subscriber together with the STB. Service providers needed a robust security solution that did not depend on a physical connection between the network and set-tops, which was well-suited for smart card-based conditional access systems. Unfortunately, hackers soon compromised all major CA systems, and it is now common practice among the legacy CA vendors to recommend replacement of the deployed smart cards every three years or so. EVOLUTION OF SET-TOP BOXES AND SECURITY Today the entire digital TV environment has changed. Cable operators still use set-tops, but today s boxes have far more processing power (for video decryption and decompression, as well as for displaying electronic program guides and running sophisticated interactive applications), rivaling that of personal computers. They also often come with two-way connectivity, and operators are adding broadband capability in order to offer Video-on- Demand and interactive services. In fact, modern set-tops are perfectly capable of handling security functions using a combination of software and security features embedded in their CPUs. Smart cards still represent a viable technology for operators that prefer such an approach, but cardless security is definitely the next step up. CARD-LESS SECURITY The card-less security of modern set-tops can either consist of a very low-cost box with a highly obfuscated, software-based security module, or a sophisticated System-on-a-Chip (SOC) with embedded security features that enables the most robust and impenetrable pay-tv security possible kobala TIvaI Aa^proTraoM Wara jaanao maanao AaOr saamaga`i p`dataaaom Wara ikyao gayao Baraosao sao saurxaa ivaëotaaaom ko caunaava ka laaba haogaa.yaham isafekmaa~ ksaaoti ho jaao ik vaastva maom maayanao rkti ho vah ho ivasvabar maom po TIvaI Aa^proTraoM ki safla tonaati ka irka^d-. idijatla TIvaI saurxaa ek samixapt [ithasa jaba 90 ko dsak ko maqya maom yauraop maom phlai baar idijatla TIvaI p`stut ki gayai tao sabai p`saark naotvakao-m ki p`krit ek samaana qai yaaina ]nako pasa esatibai sao hodemd tk caonala irtna- ki vyavasqaa nahim qai.tknaiki driytkaona kao po TIvaI rhsya ³jaOsao ]pbaao@ta emta[tolamaomt va idiëpsana kumjai p`dana ikyao jaanao vaalao smaat- kad- kao ]pbaao@taaaom kao esatibai ko saaqa p`dana ikyaa jaata qaa.saovaa p`dayakaom kao ApnaI saurxaa ]payaaom kao majabaut banaanao ki ja$rt qai jaao ik naotvak- va saot Ta^p ko baica BaaOitk knao@sana pr inaba-r nahim kro.yah smaat- kad- AaQaairt kmidsanala e@saosa isastma ko ilae sabasao ]pyau@t qai. dubaa-gya sao hokr nao SaIGa` hi sabai p`mauk saie isastma ko saaqa CaoD,CaD, Sau$ kr di AaOr Aba yah ivarasat saie ivaëotaaaom ko baica Aama baat ho ik vao p`%yaok tina yaa [tnao hi vayaao-m maom [stomaala ikyao jaa rho smaatkad- kao badlanao ki isafairsa krom. saot Ta^p baa^@sa ki saurxaa va ivakasa Aaja pura idijatla TIvaI vaatavarna badla gayaa ho.kobala Aa^proTr ABaI BaI saot Ta^p baa^@sa ka [stomaala kr rho hom laoikna Aaja baa^@sa maom khim AiQak p`samskrna Sai@t ho ³[lao@T/a^inak kaya-ëma gaa[d ka p`dsa-na AaOr pirykrt [MTroi@Tva AavaodnaaoM ko samcaalana ko saaqa saaqa vaiidyaao idiëpsana va id kmpòsana ko ilae jaao ik psa-nala kmpyautr ka pìtwmdi ho.yao pàya: TU vao knaoi@tivati ko saaqa Aato hom AaOr Aa^proTr vaiidyaao Aa^na idmaamd AaOr [MToir@Tva saovaaaaom kao Aa^fr krnao ko Ëma maom baà^dbaomd xamata Saaimala kr rho hom. vastut: AaQauinak saot Ta^p baa^@sa Apnao saipiyau maom Saaimala saurxaa ivasaoyataaaom va saa^ftvaoyar ko samyaaojana ka [stomaala krko saurxaa kayaklaapaom kao puri trh sambaalanao maom saxama ho.smaat- kad- vaosao Aa^proTraoM ko ilae ABaI BaI vyavahaya- tknaik ka p`itinaiqa%va krto hom jaao ik [sa trh ko driytkaona kao psamd krto hom laoikna kad- riht saurxaa inaiscat $p sao Agalaa kdma haogaa. kad- riht saurxaa AaQauinak saot Ta^p baa^@sa ki kad- riht saurxaa maom embaodod saurxaa sauivaqaaaaom ko saaqa samajanao maom A%yaiQak kizna saa^ftvaoyar AaQaairt saurxaa maa^d\yaula yaa pirykrt isastma Aa^na e icap ³esaAaoesa ko saaqa baohd kma laagat vaalaa baa^@sa Saaimala hao sakta ho jaao ik Aaja sabasao SATELLITE & CABLE TV 92

5 today. The security module is software-based but resides in a highly secure environment that cannot be penetrated by the tools traditionally used by smart card pirates. The secure SOC solution also solves the control word sharing piracy problem. In some legacy systems, the Control Word (content scrambling key) is passed in the clear between the smart card and the set-top video/audio descrambler. Pirates have found ways to intercept the key and share it with other (non-paying) subscribers over the Internet, and thus one hacked box can be used as a server for many others to steal pay-tv services. In the secure SOC environment, the key is never exposed in the clear outside the secure area, and hence the control word sharing threat is overcome. ADVANTAGES OF CARD-LESS SECURITY Renewability of security subsystems is a distinct advantage in a landscape of fast changing threats and business opportunities, making software-based security an attractive option. Content security is an arms race against pirates and fraudsters, so the security must be renewable. Software-based security, in combination with stateof-the-art secure SOC technology, offers flexible renewability options allowing cable operators to stay a step ahead. Software-based and card-less security combines lower CAPEX and OPEX costs into a more favorable Total Cost of Ownership profile. Threats can be countered by over-the-air updates. MAKING THE RIGHT DIGITAL TV SECURITY CHOICE For Indian cable operators it is imperative to choose a security architecture that supports both the immediate analog-to-digital transition while also laying a sound foundation for the future a future that may include delivery to PCs and Macs, games consoles, smart phones, tablets and other mobile devices. Aspiring cable operators ultimately should strive to implement a CA/DRM system that can serve as a unified revenue security platform for services destined to reach multiple screens across multiple networks. They will want a solution that can draw on the best of encryption, conditional access, digital rights management and video watermarking majabaut AaOr ABaoV po TIvaI saurxaa kao sambava banaata ho.saurxaa maa^d\yaula saa^ftvaoyar pr AaQaairt ho laoikna yah kafi saurixat vaatavarna maom rhta ho jaao ik smaat- kad- ko pa[rot\sa Wara parmpirk $p sao [stomaala ikyao jaanao vaalao ]pkrnaaom sao Baoda nahim jaa sakta. saurixat esaaaosai ]paya inayam~na Sabd ihssaodari pa[rosai samasyaa kao BaI hla krta ho.kuc ivarasat pǹaailayaaom maom kmt/aola vad- ³saamagaÌ sëombailamga kumjai kao smaat- kad- AaOr saot Ta^p vaiidyaaoàaa^idyaao idsëombalar ko baica spyt $p sao pasa ikyaa jaata ho.pa[rot\sa nao kumjai kao baica maom raoknao ka trika ZUMZ inakalaa AaOr [MTrnaoT ko }pr Anya ³Baugatana nahim krnao vaalaó ]pbaao@taaaom ko saaqa [saki ihssaodari krnao lagao AaOr [sa trh sao po TIvaI saovaaaaom ki k[- Anya ko Wara caaori ko ilae [namaom sao ek ho@d baa^@sa ka [stomaala sava-r ko $p maom ikyaa jaa sakta ho.saurixat esaaaosai vaatavarna maom kumjai kbai BaI saurixat xao~ ko baahr kbai ]jaagar nahim haota AaOr [sa trh kmt/aola vad- SaoyairMga ko Ktro sao CuTkara imala jaata ho. kad- riht saurxaa ko laaba tojai sao badla rho Ktro ko pirdrsya maom saurxaa saba isastma ko navaikrna ki xamata ka ivaisayt laaba ho AaOr vyaapar sambaavanaayaom saa^ftvaoyar AaQaairt saurxaa kao AakYa-k ivaklp banaato hom.saamagaì ki saurxaa pa[rot\sa va jaalasaajaaom ko iklaaf hiqayaaraom ki haod, ho [sailae saurxaa ka navaikrna haonaa caaihe.aaqauinak saurixat esaaaoesa tknaiki ko saaqa saa^ftvaoyar AaQaairt saurxaa laaocasaila navaikrna ivaklp p`dana krto hue kobala Aa^proTraoM kao ek kdma Aagao banao rhnao ki Anaumait doto hom. saa^ftvaoyar AaQaairt va kad- riht saurxaa imalakr saiepi[-e@sa va AaopI[-e@sa Kca- kao GaTato hue svaaima%va p`aofa[la ko kula laagat kao AaOr AiQak AnaukUla banaata ho.aaovar d eyar ApDoT ki sahayata sao Ktro ka maukabalaa ikyaa jaa sakta ho. sahi idijatla TIvaI saurxaa ka caunaava krnaa BaartIya kobala Aa^proTraoM ko ilae Ainavaaya- ho ik vao eosai saurxaa tm~ ka caunaava kro jaao ik t%kala enaalaa^ga sao idijatla samëmana maom madd krnao ko saaqa saaqa BaivaYya ko ilae majabaut AaQaariSalaa BaI rko eosaa BaivaYya ijasamaom pisai va maok kao idilavari gaomsa ka^nasaaolsa smaat- faona TObalaoT\sa va Anya maaobaa[la ]pkrna Saaimala hao sakta ho.

6 techniques to dynamically apply whatever types of security are appropriate to each service, no matter which delivery network is used, and no matter what type of subscriber device is used to access it. In fact, handling rights and subscriber management for different DRM systems from a unified security headend is the ultimate objective. Fortunately, Indian cable operators can now escape traditional CA system single-network restrictions without compromising security or adding complications to the consumer s experience. In fact, a card-less system can provide new levels of security essential to new multi-screen service models that would be virtually impossible to achieve with legacy systems. A unified, digital TV security system is a vital ingredient for operators looking to expand their service profiles, to meet contractual and service protection obligations. A single security authority, offering multi-layered protection, allows new business models to emerge and flourish. This is exemplified by the Verimatrix Video Content Authority System (VCAS ). To secure revenue on an evolving pay-tv network, innovation is required that goes beyond traditional DVB CA. Part of the VCAS 3 multinetwork platform, VCAS for DVB is a full featured security solution for one-way and DVB-IP hybrid networks. Featuring both card based and cardless security in a unified solution, it can be combined with VCAS protected multi-screen services to PC/ Macs, tablets and smart phones, enabled by the unified VCAS 3 multi-network security authority.
