Verimatrix Announces Release of DVB ReAccess Over-the-Air CAS Retrofit Solution
- Verimatrix DVB Access completes Cartesian’s Farncombe Security® Audit
AIX-EN-PROVENCE, France & SAN DIEGO — Verimatrix, (Euronext Paris: VMX, FR0010291245), the leader in powering the modern connected world with people-centered security, today announced general availability of its new DVB ReAccess solutions that serves as a uniquely powerful over-the-air (OTA) Conditional Access System (CAS). The solution also provides users with added peace of mind following the recent completion of Cartesian’s Farncombe Security® Audit.
DVB ReAccess addresses a notable hurdle for one-way networks such as broadcast satellite providers that lack bidirectional handshakes to identify and authenticate client devices authorized to decrypt content. In one-way networks, the security of content relies almost exclusively on the resistance and resilience of the CAS, the most secure of which have a client software deeply anchored within the device’s hardware, leveraging a number of security features provided by the chipset. Consequently, once a CAS is integrated on a device, it’s typically very challenging to replace it by a simple OTA software update, whilst maintaining the same level of security.
Verimatrix DVB ReAccess is a well-tested OTA CAS retrofit solution that can be downloaded over the air into deployed devices as a replacement of an incumbent CAS, without requiring any device swap, nor any physical intervention. To mitigate all the constraints related to its OTA nature, DVB ReAccess implements a number of white box cryptography and code protection techniques, areas on which Verimatrix has long-established experience.
Verimatrix engaged Cartesian to conduct a Farncombe Security® Audit of DVB ReAccess which confirmed that DVB ReAccess has comparable security levels to the best-in-class software CAS solutions.
“The security innovations within DVB ReAccess and the completion of Cartesian’s Farncombe Security® Audit offers broadcast satellite providers and others an unmatched level of confidence that their content remains protected,” said Dr. Klaus Schenk, SVP of Security and Threat Research at Verimatrix.
