June 29, 2011 -- Aizyc Technology Pvt., Ltd. has announced immediate availability of its HDCP 2.0 IP core which is a hardware- and software-based Digital Rights Management (DRM) solution for next-generation multimedia SOCs. The HDCP IP core offers an out-of-the-box solution for SOC designers to integrate with minimal tweaking.

Aizyc HDCP 2.0 IP is compact, low power and performs authentication and session management along with encryption and decryption .The HDCP2.0 IP core supports a 32-bit APB slave interface for register configuration. The IP is also available with other interfaces such as AHB, OCP, etc., on request. A sample software is provided with the IP to ease the engineering effort required in integrating into the SOC. AES-128 in CTR mode, SHA-256 in HMAC mode, Random Number Generator compliant to NIST-SP 800 90 are built into the IP.

The HDCP 2.0 IP is designed to protect the transmission of audio-visual content between a HDCP transmitter and a HDCP receiver. The HDCP transmitter may support simultaneous connections to HDCP receivers through one or more of its HDCP-protected interface ports. HDCP transmitter and receiver pair performs authentication before it does AV data transfer. Authentication involves a series of control messages to be exchanged among transmitter and receiver.

The HDCP IP is a complete content-protection solution for digital audio/ video entertainment content in the wireless and wired home network environment. The solution is targeted at OEMs and embedded system and device manufacturers, and can be seamlessly integrated into embedded components for use in tablets, media centers, DVD players, HDTVs, set-top boxes, game consoles, streaming controllers, laptops and other consumer electronic products.
