Nagravision

A subsidiary of Kudelski SA and one of the leading figures in the field of digital content security, Nagravision SA provides clients with a number of proven solutions built on reliable technologies. Nagravision is one of the largest digital content security providers in the world, working with more than 120 top pay-TV operators across the globe and securing revenue from more than 144 million active devices. One of the primary means by which Nagravision enhances revenue streams is through its set-top box services. A common device that connects a digital television service with a television set, the set-top box serves as the basic in-home tuning unit for the majority of cable and satellite TV viewers. One of the main set-top box services provided by Nagravision is a specialized certification program, which ensures that the boxes are in full compliance with the functional and security specifications set forth by Nagravision. Thanks to the efforts of the Nagravision's business office, the company offers a lone entry point for manufacturers requesting device certification. Participating manufacturers are also assigned a project manager, who oversees all steps in the certification process. After Nagravision receives a certification request, it performs two types of tests to determine the level of compliance. First, Nagravision evaluates features such as operating systems, hardware designs, factory processes, and bootloader security. Second, Nagravision performs a rigorous analysis of the conditional access subsystem. Certification testing is concluded when the integration center confirms that manufacturer-submitted set-top boxes meet all the security and functional requirements of the specific model. In addition to its set-top box certification program, Nagravision also provides a series of quality tests to help manufacturers better adhere to technical and legal specifications. Nagravision's experienced team of testing specialists makes use of cutting-edge laboratories and innovative procedures to ensure the reliability and stability of set-top boxes.
