Gadi Tirosh, Ian Tapp

With its Broadcast ELC system, NDS employs its proven Conditional Access to enable secure electronic commerce of all types of goods—hard and soft—over digital broadcasting networks. Several operating scenarios arc described, each addressing the needs of a different business model. Among the features described for Broadcast ELC are: credit/debit card payments, payments via the broadcaster's SMS, local transactions, micro payments, delayed transactions, support for incentive programs, and the secure interface between two cards used in a set-top box or PC.
