Crate dvb_simulcrypt 

DVB SimulCrypt — head-end CA message framing (ETSI TS 103 197 V1.5.1).

The DVB SimulCrypt head-end carries control/response messages between its conditional-access components over TCP. This crate is a codec for those messages — it does not open sockets. It implements the generic message structure and the two CA-bearing interfaces:

• SimulcryptMessage — the generic generic_message (TS 103 197 §4.4.1, Table 1b): a 5-byte header (protocol_version + message_type + message_length, big-endian) followed by an ordered list of TLV Parameters (parameter_type + parameter_length + value). message_length and every parameter_length are recomputed on serialize from the typed fields — there is no raw passthrough.
• ECMG ⇔ SCS (clause 5): EcmgScsMessageType (channel/stream setup, test, status, close, error, plus CW_provision 0x0201 and ECM_response 0x0202) and the Table 5 EcmgScsParameterType registry (Super_CAS_id 0x0001 … ECM_id 0x0019, error_status 0x7000, error_information 0x7001) + EcmgErrorStatus (Table 6).
• EMMG/PDG ⇔ MUX (clause 6): EmmgMuxMessageType (channel/stream messages, stream_BW_request/allocation, data_provision 0x0211) and the Table 7 EmmgMuxParameterType registry + EmmgErrorStatus (Table 8), plus the DataType (§6.2.3) and SectionTspktFlag value tables.
• C(P)SIG ⇔ (P)SIG (clause 8): CpSigMessageType (channel/stream messages, trigger/table/descriptor/PID‑provision messages 0x0301–0x0321) and the Table 36 CpSigParameterType registry (bouquet_id 0x0100 … flow_stream_type 0x012C, error_status 0x7000, error_information 0x7001).

Interface scoping

The 16-bit message_type/parameter_type spaces are interface-scoped: the same value means different things on different interfaces, and the interface is not on the wire — it is fixed by which TCP connection the message arrived on (analogous to a resource scope). So SimulcryptMessage::parse_on takes an Interface hint and decodes the raw values into the matching interface-tagged MessageType / ParameterType enums.

Signalling only — no crypto

The control words in CP_CW_combination/CW_encryption, the ECMs in ECM_datagram, and the EMM/private data in datagram are carried as opaque borrowed bytes. This crate frames and parses them; it never decrypts or interprets them. The non-implemented interfaces (C(P)SIG⇔(P)SIG, EIS⇔SCS, (P)SIG⇔MUX, ACG⇔EIS, SIMCOMP⇔MUXCONFIG) share the same framing but are not modelled.

#![no_std] + alloc; depends only on dvb-common.

Examples

Build an ECMG⇔SCS channel_setup from typed fields and round-trip it:

use dvb_simulcrypt::{
    EcmgScsMessageType, EcmgScsParameterType, Interface, MessageType, Parameter,
    ParameterType, SimulcryptMessage,
};
use dvb_common::traits::{Parse, Serialize};

let ecm_channel_id = [0x00, 0x2A]; // 0x002A
let super_cas_id = [0x00, 0x01, 0x00, 0x02]; // CA_system_id | subsystem_id
let msg = SimulcryptMessage::new(
    Interface::EcmgScs.protocol_version(),
    MessageType::EcmgScs(EcmgScsMessageType::ChannelSetup),
    vec![
        Parameter::new(
            ParameterType::EcmgScs(EcmgScsParameterType::EcmChannelId),
            &ecm_channel_id,
        ),
        Parameter::new(
            ParameterType::EcmgScs(EcmgScsParameterType::SuperCasId),
            &super_cas_id,
        ),
    ],
);

let mut buf = vec![0u8; msg.serialized_len()];
msg.serialize_into(&mut buf).unwrap();
assert_eq!(SimulcryptMessage::parse_on(Interface::EcmgScs, &buf).unwrap(), msg);
