cloakware robustness solutions
technical perspective
Cloakware Implementation Process
Robustness Rules, as specified by the standard licensing authority, are far from prescriptive. To further complicate matters, the security required varies from device to device! Depending on key management options and your product offering, the final keys are often injected into the device in a physically different location from the initial integration and testing.
Cloakware has the skill and broad expertise necessary to analyze the robustness requirements for each device and a flexible product offering we can tailor to the needs of our customers.
Cloakware offers solutions for the following Media DRM Standards:
Microsoft Windows Media DRM 10 for Portable Devices (WMDRM-PD)
- WMDRM-PD enables the secure delivery of protected content for playback on portable devices such as mobile phones and personal media players.
- Cloakware supports WMDRM-PD on a number of CE device platforms including Linux and/or Symbian operating systems on ARM and MIPS in addition to pSOS on the TriMedia chipset.
Microsoft Windows Media DRM 10 for Network Devices (WMDRM-ND)
- WMDRM-NDT/NDR enables the secure delivery of protected content for playback with a home entertainment network.
- Cloakware supports WMDRM-NDT/NDR on a number of CE device platforms including Linux on x86 chipset and pSOS on the TriMedia chipset.
Protected Video Path - Output Protection Management (PVP-OPM) and Certified Output Protection Protocol (COPP)
- PVP-OPM and COPP are Microsoft protocols that authenticate graphics drivers and ensure that copy protection is reliably signaled to the graphics adapter.
- Cloakware secures PVP-OPM for Vista and COPP for the Windows XP SP2 operating systems.
Digital Transmission Content Protection over Internet Protocol (DTCP-IP)
- DTCP-IP is a specification for the protection of copyrighted content that is transferred over a digital home network. Under this specification, digital content can be shared securely between devices in a user’s home but not shared with third-parties outside the home network.
- Cloakware supports DTCP-IP on Windows XP and Vista on x86 platforms.
- Cloakware’s Robust-Ready DTCP-IP is integrated in Texas Instruments’ DaVinci™ portfolio.
Open Mobile Alliance Digital Rights Management (OMA DRM)
- OMA DRM specifies the end-to-end protocol for the distribution of protected content to devices. The OMA DRM security protocols are built upon a PKI infrastructure and require that both the Rights Issuer and the Devices have access to private keys, certificates and trust anchors.
- Through our Cloakware Security Suite, Cloakware supports OMA DRM on a number of CE device platforms including Linux, WinCE and/or Symbian operating systems on ARM, MIPS and/or x86 chipsets.
- Cloakware provides a robust cryptographic OMA solution on Windows x86 platforms.
