EuroCrypt
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
EuroCrypt is a conditional access system for Multiplexed Analogue Components-encoded analogue satellite television. It had several versions (M, S and S2). It supported receivers with card slots and those with embedded keys. Its most widespread use was in Scandinavia, where the only EuroCrypt protected, and indeed the only MAC-encoded, broadcasts remained until July 2006 (in France, they stopped in 1998). It was then legally decrypted in the UK for watching channels such as FilmNet and TV1000, with pirate cards and the internet.
EuroCrypt evolved into the Viaccess system for digital television.
