SCM Microsystems is working with the standards organisation, Telecommunications Technology Association (TTA), to implement a cost-effective model for delivering and protecting broadcasts in the emerging digital cable television industry in Korea.
The Korean government is preparing to deploy digital cable television to between five and eight million households in Korea over the next five years. Cable TV broadcasts will be secured through traditional encryption procedures, but will be decrypted by subscribers via removable security modules rather than proprietary set-top boxes. By adopting this delivery model, the Korean government hopes to create an open standards-based digital television industry that is both competitive for consumers and profitable for operators.
