CC System ID

(To apply for a CC_System_ID, please contact DVB Services by email.)

Definition

The CC_System_ID identifies the Content Control system used for content control for a particular instance of the interface. It is defined in CI Plus and its usage is clarified in ETSI TS 103 205.

Content Control systems often use public-key infrastructures (PKI) to manage authorization, authentication, data integrity, and certificate revocations. If and when this is the case, a registered CC_System_ID value is also implicitly associated with the root-of-trust of the respective PKI.

Key fields

  • “CC System Name” – name for the CC system
  • “CC System Specifier” – name of the organization that is responsible for the CC system.
