Conax CAS7 Core is the baseline Conax CAS7 product that supports subscription mode, granting the consumer access to one or more services for a fixed time period.

  • Conax CAS7 ECM Generator: Manages encryption and packaging of entitlements and control words for scrambled services.
  • Hardware Security Module: Dedicated security hardware for tamper resistant storage and management of keys.
  • Conax smart card: Performs EMM and ECM decryption and interpretation to determine whether the consumer shall be granted access to the content.
