What is Conditional Access

Rating & reviews (0 reviews)
The rise of digital content and modes of distribution means content providers need to use a mixture of conditional access and digital rights management (DRM). When it comes to charging for content and protecting the associated revenues, the basic requirement was (and still is) access control, which was achieved by employing a technology called conditional access. But what is conditional access systems you ask.

Well, conditional access is a system that content providers use to protect and monetize their content by controlling who has access to it. It is commonly used on satellite or cable pay-TV services to regulate the contract between provider and user. One of the main attributes of traditional (legacy) broadcasting is that it is a one-way distribution system.
