Data Sheet 

Cisco Transaction Encryption Device IV 

Now you can allow selective access to secured services such as broadcast video, 
impulse pay-per-view (IPPV), reservation pay-per-view (RPPV), and video-on-demand 
(VOD). The Cisco

®

 Transaction Encryption Device IV (TED IV) server provides 

PowerKEY

®

 Conditional Access, a security feature for the Cisco Digital Network 

Control System (DNCS) that helps ensure the delivery of secure and authenticated 
services within service provider networks. Using the Cisco TED IV and PowerKEY 
encryption techniques, service providers can secure the transmission of the content 
throughout the network and allow only authorized subscribers to access the service. 

PowerKEY is initialized on the Cisco DNCS and the Cisco TED IV server to validate access to secured services. 

Platform and application security are enhanced by the following features: 

● 

Cisco TED IV does not deploy with a keyboard or monitor. 

● 

It is directly connected to the Cisco DNCS because Cisco TED IV has no network access. 

● 

It is not designed as a multiuser platform. 

● 

It is accessible only by gaining an administrator or security role on the Cisco DNCS. At power up, the Cisco 

TED IV boots and runs its application without user intervention. 

The Cisco TED IV is built from a Cisco Unified Computing System

™

 (Cisco UCS

®

) C200 M2 or C220 M4 server and 

includes the nCipher nShield 6000e hardware security module (HSM). Cisco TED IV servers run on the Red Hat 

Enterprise Linux operating system (Figures 1 through 3).
