- The Player Core that provides protection for stored media while still providing ease of use for the consumer in accessing their content through VIDITY-compliant player devices;
- The Player Agent that is available standalone or integrated with the Key Derivation Core for secure acquisition and playback of VIDITY content; and
- The Key Issuance Center (KIC) that provides keys to player and storage device manufacturers, as well as content providers in the VIDITY ecosystem.
- DPA Resistant Solutions, including cryptographic hardware cores and software libraries, that provide protection against side channel attacks
Smarter than a Smart Card
Set-top boxes (STBs) were initially secured by Conditional Access System (CAS) smart cards. However, this approach is no longer effective. Smart cards cannot prevent unauthorized access to premium 4K and UHD content, as they are not designed to protect the interface between the card and box, or the STB SoC itself. This is one of the reasons why cardless CAS set-top boxes, equipped with a hardware-based root-of-trust, are increasing in popularity amongst major operators. A hardware root-of-trust, provided by platforms such as Rambus’ CryptoMedia, offers operators robust security protection with an integrated security core that acts to effectively decrease potential attack vectors.
