About A3SA

NEXTGENTV_LogoCLR@3x 1

NEXTGEN TV, powered by ATSC 3.0, is a launching pad for enhanced local programming, news, weather, sports, and enhanced services for consumers to enjoy. ATSC 3.0 is the world’s first internet protocol (IP) based television standard, enabling broadcasters and manufacturers to use the same tools and technologies deployed for virtually all content distributed via the internet. And like the security tools and technologies used to secure internet content delivery, A3SA content security protects content owners, broadcasters, and consumers against viruses, hacking, and theft.

    To encourage full participation and investment in the ATSC 3.0 DTV ecosystem, A3SA believes that it is critical for content providers, broadcasters, device manufacturers, and consumers to be able to trust that their viewing experience is protected and secure.

    The ATSC 3.0 Security Authority (A3SA) is in place to develop protocols for securing ATSC 3.0 broadcast services by leveraging the same type of tools now commonplace with web-based delivery – including IP-based encryption protocols, device certificates and rights management technology. A3SA’s protocols are in conformance with the ATSC 3.0 Security Standard for next-generation broadcasting.
