About CryptoGuard
From ideas to a global company
CryptoGuard was formed in 2007. At that time we couldn´t expect how our Conditional Access
System (CAS) should grow seven years later,
it has really been an exciting journey!
CryptoGuard was developed in Luleå, in the northern part of Sweden. As a result of this placing several operators in this region chose CryptoGuard as their CAS. Due to the analogue
switch-off in Sweden the timing for CryptoGuard´s introduction was perfect. The cable operators had to get an encryption solution of their own
in their networks and CryptoGuard proved to have the right pricing and features. A few years later we had more than 50 networks throughout Sweden and we started to look abroad to see the interest in the CryptoGuard CAS.
We quickly got several operators in Spain, then followed by more countries; Iceland, Pakistan,
India, Poland, Azerbaijan, South Africa and
Madagascar to name a few. At an early stage
CryptoGuard also became used by IPTV
networks and has today several customers on
IPTV platforms. To manage installation, support,
and further development of the system we
acquired a software development company based in Motala, Prowill AB. The staff had many
years of experience in SMS systems and became a valuable resource for CryptoGuard’s growth.
Today we have started up two offices in Sweden and two sales offices in Katowice, Poland, and in India and more sales offices are to come.
CryptoGuard has partners all over the world and is currently used by over 100 networks in
three continents.
Pay-As-You-Grow
CryptoGuard has developed a very flexible Conditional Access System (CAS) for digital
television. We are using a high grade
encryption scheme to meet the demands of
service providers, broadcasters and operators.
Our solution works well in all kinds of and any
size of network. However the business model facilitates even for smaller and medium sized operators to use the system.
CryptoGuard´s unique products are giving even the smaller operators the opportunity to
afford real encryption which allows them to get
premium content.
The Pay-As-You-Grow business model gives you a powerful tool to maximize your profits and efficiency in a developing organization. The Pay-As-You-Grow business model means that CryptoGuard is helping you to monetize your network without taking any financial risk.

Words from Customers
Blueline, Madagascar
CryptoGuard was chosen for its reliability,
power and manageability. Thanks to this new
CAS, we strengthen the security of our content
and we offer a better customer experience to
our subscribers.
The CryptoGuard user interface and
functio-nality is making the work for both technicians
and the customer care staff much more efficient.
Damien de Lamberterie
CEO of Blueline
Aryan Films, Nepal
I am really impressed by the services and quality of CryptoGuard. My company, Aryan
Films, used CryptoGuard for the first time to
encrypt FIFA World Cup 2014 signal in Nepal and it was a success.
I am very satisfied with the support in each
and every technical aspect. We also used
CryptoGuard in an MMDS project in Nepal and the test with 100 TV channels went really
well. So in my point of view, CryptoGuard CAS
is really good with its functionality, service and
support.

MD Aryan Films
CGL, Tanzania
We at CGL are excited to work with CryptoGuard
as they are cost effective, also they provide a package including CAS, SMS & EPG unlike others whereby SMS and EPG is provided by
companies other than CAS provider.
CryptoGuard system empowers end users to be self reliant as they provide wide range
of configurations which can be applied to the system enabling our viewers to enjoy high quality digital TV and value added services.
John Hayghaimo
Ag CEO - Content Generation Ltd
Elsat/Sileman, Poland
We chose CryptoGuard because it is more
cost-effective than the other CAS that we are using.
It also allows us to develop new services in our company. At the moment we have 10% of our customers on CryptoGuard, and the number
that is migrated is continuously growing.
CryptoGuard works on Linux, so we have full control over it, and it can be installed on almost any hardware, even virtual.
The implementation of CryptoGuard was very quick and efficient. CryptoGuard is a very flexible system and the API allowed full integration of our customer management system in just a few days.
Grazyna Bloch, Elsat Managing Director & Rafal Janiczek, Sileman Head of IT System
Satcon, Congo & Gabon
We have chosen CryptoGuard CAS in
com-parison with the majority of other competitors. The cooperation with CryptoGuard is amazing. CryptoGuard is a flexible, cost-effective and reliable CAS alternative in the market.
Bassam Fahs
IT and Technical manager Satcon
Sappa, Sweden
The deciding factor for choosing CryptoGuard
was the low entry costs and a ready to use SMS. CryptoGuard is a stable, future-proof and
well-functioning system, but still flexible enough to give us many opportunities for customization. The company consists of competent staff with
high sense of service that are always quick to give feedback and to solve any problems that might occur.

Solutions
CAS and SMS
CryptoGuard is a complete package including high
security Conditional Access System (CAS) and Subscriber Management System (SMS) for DVB-C, DVB-S, DVB-T and DVB-IPTV. You can encrypt multiple signals separately or simultaneously. The
SMS allows you to handle subscribers, smart cards, ordering, customer care, billing etc.
The CAS and SMS can be used together or separately. This means that you can have one
CAS connected to one or more SMS but also the
other way around. You can also easily connect a third party software to the CAS server, such as a business management system (ERP) or a different
SMS.
IPTV
CryptoGuard works on standard DVB-IPTV and can be integrated with different IPTV middleware software platforms with VoD and Over-The-Top (OTT) services. It supplies software technology for IP- or Hybrid-networks to deliver an efficient
and elegant user experience to subscribers in a
multiscreen environment. CryptoGuard is also used in Android based operations both as OTT and linear TV.
CryptoLite Pre-paid
CryptoLite is offering a solution where the encryption server is built into the supported headend and the smartcards are prepaid. There
are no servers and no customer management, simply add the channels that you want to encrypt to the service in the headend and you are done.
Hosted solution
CryptoGuard CAS, SMS and IP are well suited
for hosted solutions. The CAS and SMS can be
separated physically, and you can connect an SMS
with multiple CAS (in physical sub networks). You can also connect a number of SMS with one CAS (distributed hosted solution). You can
rent a hosted CryptoGuard service from one of
our hosting partners or you can set up a hosted solution yourself and then rent out to others.
Card-less solution
CryptoGuard is also available as a card-less
solution with the security built into secure chipsets placed in the STB or CAM module. The
card-less system can be used on any device and
can be applied on DVB streams, IP streams and on hybrid solutions.
Modules
PSI / SI Inserter
PSI / SI inserter describes to the recipients how
the network is constituted. CryptoGuard CAS can hereby configure channel lists, frequency tables
and the program guide. Data is generated to
recipients as NIT, SDT, SDT other, TDT, TOT and EIT
tables.
API
The CryptoGuard SMS is based on a MySQL database and Linux. The architecture is open and there are a full set of APIs available for integration
with 3rd party systems, such as business
applications, billing, CRM, data-mining etc.
EPG
The CryptoGuard EPG server is divided in two
parts, one server that is installed with the CAS and SMS and one central database that collects
and distributes the EPG information to EPG
customers.
End user Login Module
Makes it possible for your end user to login and
view their own profile, order new subscriptions and PPV as well as viewing their invoice history.
Economy module
Used to export invoice rows from Crypto-Guard’s SMS system to your own billing system.
A customized solution can be made according to
your requirements.
Fingerprinting
ECM - Card number or/and IRD number can be
displayed on the screen, on chosen services, to be able to track recorded copyrighted material.
EMM - Card number or/and IRD number can be
displayed on the screen, on chosen card numbers, to be able to track recorded copyrighted material.
Force Tuning Module
With this module it is possible to force the STB to tune to a specific service at a specific time.
OTA
This module makes it possible to upgrade the software of your STB’s and CA modules
Over-The-Air.
Subserver
When your network extends over a larger
geo-graphic area with different frequency tables or if
you have several head ends, it can be necessary to separate components from the main server.
An example is an additional PSI/SI server.
ECM Redundancy
Additional ECM servers can be installed
working redundant to each other, meaning if
scrambler loses contact with main ECM server, it automatically connects to the spare server and
vice versa.
Messaging
You are able to send long messages, up to 2048 characters, to a STB. It is possible to schedule
when they are sent, choose to which service,
force their appearance and set the duration of the
message.
Reports
Possibility to view current and historical statistics of activations, subscriptions, customers, channels
and other parts of the system. It is also simple to ad custom made reports.
Reseller module
A custom designed page for resellers to add new
customers, cards and subscriptions and also for printing signable customer contracts.
