Presentation by Steve Christian, Verimatrix, on Aug 1, 2012. The Multi‑network Solutions in the Real World Forum with focus on Latin America took place in Sao Paulo on August 1st, in parallel with the ABTA show. An expert panel specializing in multi‑network video provided insights and case studies demonstrating how operators are addressing the new opportunities, challenges and solutions for video delivery over combinations of managed and unmanaged networks.

12. Summary: Multi-network Video
Services: Best Practices
Enable a transparent consumer experience
Harmonize stream management with
consistent adaptive rate technology
Don’t assume streaming services deserve
less security consideration – may be higher
“No man is an island” – look for a proven
ecosystem architecture

Many studios request HW root of trust which obviously in STBs can be satisfied by Secure SoC and Key Ladder (CWPP) but on softer devices can be only simulated by using code obfuscation and whitebox cryptography (such as on PCs but most will not release HD content to PCs) and on Tablets the use of Secure SoC and standards such as TrustZone are being required for HD content.Alsoasking about what happens after CAS/DRM is done with its part. How/where is the video decrypted and decoded, how are the outputs protected, etc. DIGITAL WATERMARKINGSoftware vendors have implemented AACS for Windows PCs. Some studios will license their HD content through approved DRM-protected schemes for PCs without requiring hardware roots of trust or software hardening, as long as digital outputs are protected by HDCP13. Some studios will allow still-image digital output without HDCP. Other studios will not license HD content in the Home Entertainment window for PC implementations unless they have hardware roots of trust (a la Intel Insider) or software hardening (see p. 18), because they want to avoid hacks similar to the AACS hack of January 2007, which affected software implementations14.
