Elemental concepts in a CAS system ECM – Entitlement Control Message TheEntitlement Control Message (ECM) streamisplayed in paralleltothescrambled audio/video stream. Itisusedto control theaccess of thesubscribertothecurrentlybroadcastevent and todescramblethe audio/video stream. (No ECM isgeneratedforanunscrambledbroadcast).
Elemental concepts in a CAS system ECM – Entitlement Control Message • Access Conditions • The ECM carriestheaccessconditions of thecurrentlybroadcastevent. • Theaccessconditions are builtonthebasis of theschedule and product (entitlements) data stored in the CAS: • Product data: Theaccessconditions describe alltheproductscontainingtheeventorthecorrespondingchannel. • Schedule data: eventorchannelblackoutzones • Control Word (CW) • The ECM carriesthe Control Word (CW) necessarytodescramblethe audio/video stream. The CW isencryptedwithinthe ECM. Thisparameterchangeseverycryptoperiod.
Elemental concepts in a CAS system ECM – Simulcrypt Nowadays, normallytheprotocolSimulcrypt (V2) isusedbetweentheMux and the ECM Generator
Elemental concepts in a CAS system ECM – Simulcrypt • Simulcrypt v.2: ETSI TS103 197 (since 2000) • ECMG acts as a server • The CW isgeneratedbythe SCS (Mux) and senttothedifferentECMGs
Elemental concepts in a CAS system EMM – Entitlement Management Message Thefunction of theEntitlement Management Messages (EMM) istosendcommandstothesmartcard in ordertomanagethe data stored in thesmartcarddatabase. In particular, theEMMscarrytheentitlementsthatgrantaccesstotheproductsthesubscriber has bought. TheEMMs are alsousedforotherapplicationssuch as delete/modifyentitlement, set credit, clean_upmemory, etc. Itisnot a persistentstream. The EMM is a standardformat of message. Insidethe EMM, each CAS providerputsitsownpropietarycommands.
Elemental concepts in a CAS system EMM – AddressingModes • Normally, differentAddressingModes are usedwhensendingEMMstothesmartcards. Dependingonthetype of command, theaddressingmodecouldbeforexample: • Uniqueaddressing: The EMM issenttoonesmartcardonly • Sharedaddressing: The EMM issentto a givengrouporrange of smartcards • Globaladdressing: The EMM issenttoallsmartcards in thesystem
Elemental concepts in a CAS system EMM – AddressingModes • Theobject of theAddressingModesis: • Toavoidincreasingtoomuchthebandwith of theEMMs • Toavoidrepeatingthesamecommands
Elemental concepts in a CAS system EMM – Broadcasting TheEMMs are alwaysplayedoutin a loop, accordingtothebroadcastingprofileassignedtoeach EMM. Thepurposeistooptimizebandwith and response time for a predefinedavailable BW.

Elemental concepts in a CAS system SmartCard & Set Top Box • SmartCard • Decryptthe ECM and compare theprofile (accessconditions) withtherightsstored in theSmartCard • Givethe control word ONLY IF theuser has therightprofile • Set Top Box • Withthe Control Word (receivedfromthe SC) decryptsthe Audio and Video signals

CAS & DTV Products Productsdefinition • In Digital TV: • Events • Services • In Digital TV with a CAS system: • Events • + Access Control PRODUCTS • Services • Restricted Access (onlysubscribershaveanaccess)
CAS & DTV Products Productsdefinition With a CAS, eachproduct has toget a relativeaccessright. Thataccessrightmustbesenttothesubscriber (actuallyhis/hersmartcard) whopurchasedrelativeproduct
CAS & DTV Products Productsdefinition • Theproductmanagementcouldbesplitinto: • PRODUCT CREATION • PRODUCT SALE As creation and sale are notperformed by the same system, they need to exchange created products so there is an in-between step
CAS & DTV Products Productsdefinition Basedonexistingservices and events, aproductisanevent (or complete servicewhichiscomposed of a series of events) which has anaccessprofile. In relationtotheaccessprofile, anaccessrightiscreated Actually,a subscriberbuysanaccessrightrelatedtoaneventor a service
CAS & DTV Products Productsdefinition Product To define a product….. • Price • Contents • Information • Validity Dates
CAS & DTV Products But, beforecreatinganyproduct, manyprevioussteps are mandatory in the CAS….. • Topologydefinition (SERVICES) • Schedule import (EVENTS) • Access profile set up (ACCESS RIGHTS) • Then, PRODUCTS can becreated and finally….. Importedand soldin the SMS • Selling a productsmeansthatthe SMS askstothe CAS tosendthespecificright (relatedtotheproducts of concern) tothesubscriber.
CAS & DTV Products • ProductTypes • SubscriptionProducts(oneor more services) • Single EventProducts/ EventPackageProducts • ComplexProducts(A la carte, Season ticket, pay per night, pay per time.....)
CAS & DTV Products Access Modes • UNSCRAMBLED(free to air) • only a decoderisrequired (no SC, ni rights) • FREE ACCESS • initializeddecoder and SC are required (no rights) • SCRAMBLED • initializeddecoder and SC are required as well as rights (storedintothe SC)
…and that’sall Thankyou!
