		The most vital job of any conditional access system is to secure the broadcast signal, which is an ongoing challenge for CA companies.
		Conditional access companies have to maintain a constant dialogue with their customers and continually monitor any possible weaknesses in their systems.
		Now, with customers wanting to buy their own set-top boxes, conditional access companies and set-top box manufacturers are having to place the security module within the smart card or another removable device, rather than in the box, making the CA system 'hardware-agnostic'.

	Conditional Access Module - VDR Wiki
		A Common interface (CI) module can be used to house many different peripheral devices, such as a modem, additional memory, games consoles, or more usually a Conditional Access Module (CAM) - sometimes referred to as a Common Interface Module (CIM, CI module).
		The CAM provides space for one or two smartcards (depending on the CI) supplied by the broadcaster.
		In theory, any CAM that complies with the CI specifications should fit in a CI module, but whether or not you can get it to work with VDR is a different matter...

		These rules on conditional access are part of a systematic effort to ensure consistency of approach to the regulation of communications networks, whether they are wire or fibre-based or wireless, or broadcast or hybrids of these.
		Their choices would be restricted to taking the programme service of the conditional access supplier's group, taking the service of the conditional access supplier plus other broadcast services, or nothing.
		At the same time Oftel recognises the legitimate concerns of conditional access operators that they should not be forced to disclose the encryption algorithms which are central to their businesses.

	What is Fast Guide to DTV? - a definition from Whatis.com - see also: DTV Guide
		Conditional access (CA) is a technology used to control access to DTV services to authorized users by encrypting the transmitted programs.
		If the authorization code is accepted, the conditional access module unscrambles the data and returns the data to the receiver.
		The FCC's schedule for transition to DTV proposed that everyone in the U.S. should have access to DTV by 2002 and that the switch to digital transmission must be completed either by 2006 or when 85% of the households in a specific area have purchased digital television sets or set-top converters.

	Define CA - Conditional Access
		Meaning of CA – “Conditional Access” is a technology used to control access to digital television (DTV) services to authorized users by encrypting the transmitted programming.
		“…Conditional Access is not wholly specified in DVB, but a collection of tools enables users of DVB to come up with the most effective and efficient mechanisms for their market.
		Most multiple format CAM's, and all CAM's which directly decrypt a signal are based on reverse-engineering of the CA system A large number of companies provide competing CA systems, and the DVB standard allows the encryption of a channel in more than one system at once (Simulcryption).

		The decryption unit is either integrated into a receiver, available as a conditional access module (CAM), or as one of many encryption schemes supported on a CAM emulator.
		Like with most smartcard-based conditional access systems, the smartcards used with the analog Nagravision system were repeatedly reverse engineered by hackers, which allowed the production of clone cards and "patched" receivers.
		However, the analog Nagravision system was the first widely used cryptographically controlled conditional access system that was broken in a way that bypassed the tamper resistance of its smartcard entirely and from which no recovery was possibly by replacing all smartcards.

		For broadcasters who wish to protect the integrity of paid for programming, quality conditional access solutions are a necessity.
		There are several different conditional access schemes in use by the different operators, and each system demands the relevant CAM (as well as the smart card for subscription channels).
		This allows a user to unplug one module and insert another, in order to switch from one CAS to another, i.e., from Irdeto to Viaccess.

		The choice of type of modulation is made based on the sort of problems most prevalent for the medium,e.g.terrestrial is more subject to multipath interference ("ghosting" in analogue TV) & CODFM is fairly resistant to this.
		You also need the relevant Conditional Access Module (CAM) for any subscription channel along with appropriate smartcard (which could include a pirate card -these started to appear in summer 1997 although many were knocked out via ECM's from the operators).

		(Conditional Access) The process that decrypts television uses the CA module to grant access to programming.
		A programming subscriber receives a Smartcard from a Pay TV provider, which needs to be inserted into a CA module, which gets inserted into a standardized slot on the set top box or television adapter.
		The CA module compares the encryption codes sent by the television signal with those on the card.

	Satellite receiver Matrix Reloaded CAMs available at ZatelliteZ, a division of DateWise Ltd, Dublin, OH, USA
		A conditional access module ("CAM") is a unit to insert a smart card into a satellite receiver as proof you have subscribed to the satellite signal and are authorized to receive it.
		We decided to start handling the Matrix reloaded CAM when our CIO tried unsuccessfully for a year to find a North American source for a Viaccess compatible CAM to use with a FortecStar satellite receiver so he could subscribe to a paid foreign language channel.
		This is the same satellite receiver CAM that has been sold from Europe to the US for the past several months over eBay.
