The HDCP 2.0 Software Development Kit is a portable architecture that can be used on most platforms.
Elliptic Technologies, a supplier of security IP and software,
announced the immediate availability of its HDCP 2.0 Software
Development Kit. HDCP 2.0 is a security technology that addresses the
content protection needs for high-valued digital content. Sony,
Panasonic, Intel and high-definition content owners Universal Pictures,
Warner Bros. Entertainment and others have endorsed the specification,
the company said in a release.
The HDCP 2.0 SDK (Software Development Kit) is a fully portable
architecture that can be used on most platforms and operating systems,
including Google Android-based devices. Elliptic's HDCP 2.0 solution is
based on the latest specification HDCP IIA Revision 2.0 and it supports
all mandatory elements of copy protection, including authentication and
key exchange, content encryption and system renewability.
The HDCP 2.0 SDK from Elliptic is a content protection solution for
digital audio/video entertainment content in the wireless and wireline
home network environment. The solution is targeted at OEMs and embedded
system and device manufacturers, and can be integrated into embedded
components for use in tablets, media centers, DVDs, HDTVs, set top
boxes, game consoles, streaming controllers, laptops and other consumer
electronic products.
"The exploding market for high-definition entertainment has
sharpened the need to protect high-value content with more robust
protection schemes. Elliptic Technologies is a trusted supplier of
embedded security solutions and has the best-in-class content
protection IP," said Vijay Dube, president and CEO of Elliptic
Technologies. "Working closely with lead customers and partners gave us
the unique opportunity to optimize the HDCP 2.0 components to precisely
match the requirements of a digital TV streaming device."
Elliptic is one of the first suppliers of a comprehensive HDCP 2.0
content protection solution, which has already been delivered to lead
customers. The company said as digital media is being rapidly adopted
as the primary consumer entertainment distribution medium, the
technical demands of the digital home and the need to deliver and
protect rich audio and video content have increased dramatically in
recent years.
In January, the company expanded its line of security protocol
accelerators with the introduction of SPAcc-LTE, a security processing
engine for the rapidly developing 4th Generation mobile wireless
markets. The platform supports all confidentiality and integrity
algorithms required for 3GPP/LTE/LTE-Advanced protocols. These
algorithms are based on ciphers like AES, SNOW 3G, ZUC, and legacy
ciphers such as Kasumi to support older networks.
