CryptoFirewall™ core enhances ExpressPlay™ and
gives content providers access to higher levels of security
Rambus Inc. (NASDAQ:RMBS) today announced that Intertrust®
Technologies Corporation, a leading provider of trusted computing
technologies, will integrate its CryptoFirewall™ advanced hardware
security cores with ExpressPlay™ cloud service. This integration
enables Intertrust to provide content distributors with an
unprecedented level of hardware security in compatible consumer
devices. Smart 4K UHD TVs are the first target devices for this
integrated security solution.
“Security risks are pervasive, so it’s important to have an
extremely robust and highly flexible security solution to protect
digital rights,” said Talal Shamoon, CEO at Intertrust
Technologies. “The technologies developed by the Cryptography
Research team have an excellent reputation for securing content,
and the CryptoFirewall core complements and reinforces our full
range of cloud-based security solutions.”
“As a leading digital TV software-based solution, Intertrust’s
ExpressPlay is providing an important layer of the overall security
platform,” said Paul Kocher, president and chief scientist of the
Rambus Cryptography Research division. “By integrating our hardware
cores with Marlin DRM, this solution can provide a robust,
flexible, and cost-effective foundation to more effectively protect
content and services from theft.”
The CryptoFirewall core, developed by Cryptography Research, is
a self-contained ASIC security core that provides an ultra-secure
hardware key engine for content protection applications. The core
is integrated directly into leading SoCs used in TVs, set-top
boxes, and other devices, and provides ‘smart card within a chip’
level end-point security. The core is designed to protect
cryptographic keys and computations within a chip even if
surrounding components are compromised.
The CryptoFirewall core complements Marlin DRM and helps content
distributors meet MovieLab’s Enhanced Content Protection
specifications for hardware root of trust. Intertrust jointly
developed the specifications for the open standard Marlin DRM
system for consumer devices and services with Samsung, Sony,
Panasonic and Philips. Marlin offers sophisticated copyright
management for playing media content distributed over mobile,
broadband, broadcast and other distribution channels. Marlin
seamlessly ports licensed content across devices and services in a
consumer’s home or personal domain and supports a large and
flexible set of business models for content distribution. Marlin is
deployed worldwide and is currently one of the fastest growing DRM
technologies in China.
Intertrust also operates ExpressPlay, a highly scalable cloud
service for content protection. The ExpressPlay service provides a
complete, ready-to-go Marlin DRM system with a cloud service to
easily manage content protection usage, and tools to integrate
Marlin into devices and distribution platforms. ExpressPlay DRM
supports many video formats including MPEG-DASH HLS, Smooth, and
MP4. These standards are important for reducing the cost of video
distribution and work with an increasing number of smart TV devices
running apps that combine broadcast TV content with the best of
Internet content. Intertrust operates ExpressPlay services in China
and worldwide.
