IKS (Internet Key Sharing) is the latest method in the FTA (Free-To-Air) satellite testing community that tackles the problem of the new Nagravision 3 encryption technology by supplying decryption keys to a FTA Satelite receiver over the Internet. While some are reasonably wary of IKS technology, most use some sort of proxy server to act as a protection of a users real ip address. There are several brands now supporting a present or future IKS solution. Some require the purchase of a special device specifically designed to expand a boxes capabilities to use the new IKS FTA method. Currently IKS has been limited to non-pay-per-view subscription only programming. Other boxes have built in support for the technogy.
