Background of the technology

Unauthorized receipt of broadcast signals, such as satellite or cable television, is problematic for broadcast service providers, as it represents significant lost revenue for a service that is usually only available on a paid subscription basis.

Universal Data Protection Corporation (UDPi™) protects broadcast transmissions and mobile wireless data transmissions with patent pending technology evolved from our microcontrollers and microprocessors protection scheme.

Using a UDPi encoded microcontroller in the transmitter unit, the broadcast data is encoded (music, video, etc…)

On the receiver side (set-top box, digital radio, etc…), another encoded microcontroller receives and decodes the broadcast data. The UDPi method for encoding data includes Stealth Data Delimiter™ technology. This on its own makes UDPi unique and creates a virtually impossible trail for hackers to follow.

Combined with UDPi’s Double Axis Security™ scrambling technique, our code offers the most secure protection available for broadcast data transmission.

With a UDPi secured system the receiver (subscriber) has one key and the encoded data transmission contains the second key. The final decryption key is obtained when the uniquely serialized receiver’s microcontroller key is matched with the data transmission key. The subscriber’s microcontroller will have the final instruction on how to decode the data transmission.
