SCM builds new MediaGuard CI modules for the Seca-MediaGuard encryption system, which was recently taken over by Nagra. The MediaGuard CI module will be based on the World CAM Hardwareplattform. SCM plans to sell first part of new MediaGuard CI modules already in the fourth quarter of 2003 year.

After the assumption of the MediaGuard encryption system by Nagra some weeks ago, there is a free way to create a Common Interface module. SCM Microsystems technical specialists have to develop a save module for encryption used by Canal Plus Technologies.

The MediaGuard CI module will be based on the World CAM Hardwareplattform, which is at present used by SCM in other Common Interface modules for some encryptions. The agreement also covers the world-wide selling of the MediaGuard module by SCM.

SCM plans to sell first part of new MediaGuard CI modules already in the fourth quarter of 2003 year. Aston Group will produce AstonCrypt CI v1.07 for two streams.
