 Oftel News 56, June 2002: Oftel finalises arrangements for Conditional Access
Conditional access services allow broadcasters to supply their television programmes only to customers who are entitled to watch them.
Conditional access ensures, for example, that only people who have paid to receive certain programmes can do so, and that free-to-air channels such as the BBC can only be viewed by UK consumers.
Suppliers of conditional access services are obliged by the terms of their licence to provide them on a "fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory" basis, and Oftel has the power to intervene to set prices if commercial negotiations fail.

 Question 6/9 - Methods and practices for conditional access and copy protection for digital cable television ...
Indeed, conditional access systems that were considered to be totally secure when they were developed only a few years ago for television distribution to the home, have been invariably "compromised" by pirates, who extract the conditional access enabling information and sell it at a fraction of the regular subscription fee.
Any conditional access system can be expected to eventually be compromised, irrespective of its sophistication, if the compromised enabling information can be sold to a sufficiently large base of customers.
Another very important aspect that is related to conditional access is the provision of measures to prevent a distributed programme from being copied, unless the owner of its intellectual property rights authorizes such copying.

 Legal Protection of Conditional Access Services   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
Accordingly, the scope of the proposed directive covers all services that are supplied on a Conditional Access basis: this includes traditional pay-TV (and radio), video-on-demand, audio-on-demand, electronic publishing and a wide range of on-line services, all of which are offered to the public on a subscription or usage-related basis[12].
At the Community level, the corresponding notion is that of "conditional access" enshrined in Directive 95/47 on the use of standards for the transmission of television signals (Article 4)[27].
On-line applications could similarly improve access to a wide range of data, provided that the viability of such business is ensured by usage-related tariffs implemented by conditional access (and legal protection thereof): unrestricted access is simply not compatible with the investment required in order to create the database.

 1 THE CONDITIONAL ACCESS DIRECTIVE
This interpretation provides a legal basis for the “right to authorize or control access” which is explicitly contained within the definition of “conditional access,” and which is arguably central to the conditional access infrastructure.
Protecting the conditional access mechanism itself, without considering the content contained therein, may contradict the conclusion that the “right to control access” in issue is similar to the one found under copyright law.
This is similar to the Conditional Access Directive’s recognition of property interests in access control technology as discussed in Part III.A. Second, in protecting against piracy, both instruments seek to protect the remuneration interest associated with the use of a “container,” whether a satellite signal or the infrastructure provided by the access control technology.

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'.

 IViR - Publications - Study on the use of conditional access systems for reasons other than the protection of ...
Conditional access (CA) is, generally spoken, a technical solution which allows its user to control and secure access to electronically transmitted services and contents as well as to determine the conditions under which access is granted.
Since conditional access devices make it possible to deny unauthorised parties access to content or information and communication systems, they can serve various security interests of service providers, not least security of communication and information networks, confidentiality, integrity and availability of data, privacy, protection of intellectual property as well as the security of financial transactions.
For the providers of conditional access devices like set-top boxes for satellite or data reception this means that their bottleneck facility can become even more valuable, as it not only controls the access to broadcasting services but also to the Internet.

For broadcasters who wish to protect the integrity of paid for programming, quality conditional access solutions are a necessity.
Any receiver made for digital reception may work up to a point; however, many receivers are sold for use on a particular operator's "bouquet" (multiplex) of channels and often have internal software that prevents you from receiving another operator's signals.
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).

 Unscrambling Conditional Access, Encryption - Broadband Week 02/04/2002   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
The barrier is the jumble of jargon known as “conditional access and encryption.”
That’s because conditional access and encryption systems come in two parts: A headend controller (scrambler), and a secret spot within the digital box that knows the “key” to unscramble the encryption algorithm (unscrambler).
Still, it’s the existing state of conditional access and encryption that dissuades the big consumer-electronics brands from bringing competitively priced set-tops to the industry, and it’s conditional access and encryption that makes MSOs grumble about feeling like hostages to the incumbent supplier duo.
