Pay-TV operators increasingly realize that it is not enough to target the TV alone as a medium for their content services. Hence the PC has followed as a second screen, with mobile devices as a natural progression to a third. This poses content security challenges that go far beyond those that pay-TV operators have traditionally considered. In a "three-screen world," it would be very cumbersome and expensive to operate three different content security systems, with all the overlap in functionality but lack of interoperability that has sparked a consumer backlash for traditional CA and DRM systems.
This dilemma has been portrayed as a failure of content security technology when, in truth, it is more a failure to offer a content-rights approach that treats the subscribers' domain with the same terms they see their world.
This session will cover the latest technologies that include a multi-dimensional content protection of CA, DRM, encryption, and digital watermarking. It will also include an overview of existing and potentially future delivery business models that content security can ultimately help enable rather than inhibit.
