AAA
Online Authentication,
Authorization, and Accounting Service for Content and Service Delivery
DACC AAA (DACC Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting) solves
the problem of cost-effective authentication, authorization, and
accounting for services and content delivered on any type of IP
network. Additionally it provides a pre-payment system ideal for
consumer oriented services. It is designed for applications like media
distribution (e.g. games, video, and music), WLAN access, VoIP and
Broadband access. DACC AAA has been developed with simplicity in mind
based on the Internet paradigm, thus avoiding the complexity of the
traditional telecom world. With DACC AAA the customer can do the job
through self-service, eliminating the need for complex and expensive
Provisioning, Configuration and Billing systems. There are no
requirements on large investments in AAA software and hardware and no
investments in customer/user administration systems as DACC AAA is
available as an inexpensive online service. Together with Excito, DACC
can provide a Content Management (CM) system integrated with the AAA
system. This CM system is flexible and multi purpose and aimed for
management of any type of content. It is ideal for dynamic marketing
(Digital Signage). The CM System is also available as an inexpensive
online service for those who don't want to invest in CM software and
hardware.
