PowerKEY Conditional Access 
We use PowerKEY CA software to enhance the encryption and decryption 
techniques that secure the transmission of applications such as broadcast video, 
PPV, IPPV, and VOD. PowerKEY CA ensures that only the authorized subscriber 
can access the secured service in the network by encrypting or protecting the service.  
When a subscriber requests a PPV service or orders premium services (such as 
HBO), the service is encrypted to secure the transmission of the content throughout 
the network. PowerKEY CA is initialized on the DNCS/ISDS and the TED 4.0 server 
to validate access to secured services.
