| Secure Implementations of Content Protection (DRM) Schemes | Company: Discretix Technologies, Ltd.
| | |
Today’s connected devices, including web TVs and hybrid STBs, embody a new era in consumer electronics, allowing unparalleled access to content and unlimited options to consumers. In this new age of over-the-top TV (OTT-TV), device manufacturers and service providers require robust content protection schemes that are approved by studios, yet are flexible enough to support multiple business models and new use cases.
Companies such as Netflix are driving requirements for highly secure DRM implementations on mobile platforms. Recently, Netflix wrote a blog entry explaining that they cannot support Android-based platforms at this time because of insufficient security mechanisms for these platforms.
The need for secure DRM implementations is real, and it is happening now. Secure and robust DRM implementation, as defined by content owners, is mandatory in order to enable premium content licensing by the service provider. Such robust implementation requires an in-depth understanding of the security vulnerabilities of today’s connected devices. This white paper explains what is required to build a secure DRM solution. The first part of the white paper develops a DRM threat model. The second part presents some approaches to a secure DRM solution and describes the Discretix secure DRM solution.
