Abstract:
1. At least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having a plurality of instructions configured to enable a security controller of a device, in response to execution of the instructions by the security controller of the device, to provide a sequestered digital content protection provision service to the device, including: an authentication service configured to form a trust relationship between a media application within an application execution environment of the device and the security controller, wherein the application execution environment includes an operating system, and the operating system controls resources within the application execution environment, and wherein the security controller is outside the application execution environment, enabling components of the security controller to be secured from components of the operating system; and a digital content protection driver configured to provision a digital content protection scheme for the media application to provide digital content to a digital content protection enabled transmitter within the application execution environment for provision to a digital content protection enabled receiver; wherein the digital content protection driver is configured to de-establish a secure channel of communication with the media application, in response to a failure to authenticate the digital content protection enabled receiver.
