Real-time encryption and conditional access for linear broadcast channels

Operators today are increasingly challenged to deliver affordable conditional access for linear broadcast assets. Cypher Broadcast fulfills this need and more. Not only does Cypher Broadcast seamlessly perform conditional access tasks, it also adds real-time application level encryption to the linear broadcast stream as well. This persistent encryption technique enables an operator to freely distribute broadcast content to any major STB, PVR, PC or other mobile device. Cypher Broadcast works in concert with the Widevine CA system to renew client security and to prevent potential piracy within the home and beyond.
