The KMS Configuration depends on the KMS type that is chosen. While adding a new KMS server or editing an existing KMS server, one can view the relevant fields for a specific KMS type.

Simulcrypt


Simulcrypt enables scramblers and content protection systems to exchange information about the encryption keys.

Originally the DVB Common Scrambling Algorithm (DVB-CSA) was used in conjunction with Simulcrypt for DVB satellite, cable, and terrestrial pay-TV operations. However, since the introduction of commercial IPTV services more than ten years ago by telecommunications companies ("telcos") using their managed networks, Simulcrypt deployments that utilize the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) algorithm are also common.

**From version 5.6.4 onwards MCM9000 supports BISS-2, SynMedia and Axinom KMS types 

BISS-2

Basic Interoperable Scrambling System (BISS) is a point to point encryption for use on digital contribution circuits (satellite, IP etc.).

FieldsDescription
NameName of the KMS.
TypeType of KMS (BISS2).
Private Key (BISS2-CA)

This is an autogenerated configuration by MCM, hence, please keep this field empty.

When creating a new “BISS2-CA KMS”, the MCM generates a public/private key pair. The public key should be copied and sent to the sender. (The private key is not visible on the GUI/API - can not be read. it is exported to the XML - but encrypted. This keeps it over a software upgrade)

On the channel config, it should be detected during the scan as “BISS-2” and the relevant KMS should be configured to the channel.

Public Key (BISS2-CA)

This is an autogenerated configuration by MCM, hence, please keep this field empty.

When creating a new “BISS2-CA KMS”, the MCM generates a public/private key pair. The public key should be copied and sent to the sender. 

Session Key (BISS2-E)

BISS-2-E:

When creating a new “BISS KMS” - paste the static SK (session key) - 32 char long hex value.

BISS-2-1:

Paste the 16 char constant key to the channel configuration key field.
