Embedded root of trust provides smart-card level security to protect
digital content
SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Today, Rambus
Inc. (NASDAQ: RMBS) announced that its CryptoMedia
core has been selected for integration into Montage
LZ Technologies (Montage LZ) set-top box (STB) chips. The advanced
security core provides smart-card level security inside the chipset,
eliminating the need for a separate smart card and saving operators cost
without compromising security. Through its collaboration with Rambus,
operators using Montage LZ chips will be able to use the CryptoMedia
hardware root-of-trust to ensure the secure distribution of premium
content to their subscribers.
The CryptoMedia core can be used with any Digital Video Broadcasting
(DVB) compliant conditional access system (CAS) and with any digital
rights management (DRM) system for over-the-top (OTT) video-streaming
applications.
“Demand for cost-effective and robust content protection solutions has
become increasingly important to our customers and ensuring the security
of set-top boxes is fundamental to our offering,” said Derek Chang, VP
of Engineering at Montage LZ. “The integration of the Rambus CryptoMedia
core will enable us to provide our customers with state-of-the-art
solutions for set-top boxes and provide secure access to premium
content.”
“As a pioneer in embedded security, we combined the design of our robust
hardware root-of-trust with an emphasis on ecosystem enablement to offer
the strongest security options to our customers,” said Dr. Martin Scott,
SVP/GM of Cryptography and CTO, Rambus. “By selecting our CryptoMedia
Content Protection core, Montage will enable another layer of protection
in the set-top-box chipset with flexible hardware security that works
with any CAS or DRM system.”
