A digital TV conditional access system having an authentication module, a conditional access front-end module, and a receiver module. The authentication module communicates bidirectionally with and authenticates the receiver module to generate a unique ID number and authentication information, the ID number and the authentication information being recorded to a data base. The conditional access front-end module communicates bidirectionally with the data base, collects information of the receiver module from the data base, encrypts entitlement management message of the receiver module, and transmits the encrypted entitlement management message to the receiver module by an addressing mode. The conditional access front-end module further includes an entitlement control message generator, and the receiver module receives a scrambled program with the help of the ID number and the authentication information. A method of using the digital TV conditional access system for transmitting and receiving encrypted digital data is also provided. |
