Key (Session Word)
Control word used for scrambling or descrambling
In BISS Mode E the key (Session Word) is protected by encrypting it using a key ID. An encrypted key is
generated by selecting DCB CSA BISS-E as key type, and using the
Encode
mode, and selecting the BISS-E Unit
Key. The resulting encrypted key is displayed to the user in the GUI. The same procedure is used in order to
retrieve a clear key from an encrypted BISS-E Unit Key by selecting the
Decode
mode.
