Viaccess

Viaccess is a digital content protection system used by TV broadcasters and streaming services to secure their programming. It encrypts video signals so that only authorized viewers with the correct smart cards or digital keys can decrypt and access the content. This prevents unauthorized copying, sharing, or viewing of premium TV shows, movies, and sports. Essentially, Viaccess ensures that the content provider maintains control over who can see their broadcasts, helping to protect intellectual property and revenue, while allowing legitimate users to enjoy high-quality, secure viewing experiences.
