Abstract:
1. A method for supporting secure and unsecure media pathways options in a media processing device having a plurality of selectable pathway components, the method comprising: ascertaining a first desired level of security relating to a media item or content provider; establishing a first media pathway utilizing a first set of selectable pathway components of the media processing device that include a first set of software components and a first set of hardware components, the first media pathway conforming to the first desired level of security; ascertaining a second desired level of security relating to a media item or content provider; and establishing a second media pathway utilizing a second set of selectable pathway components of the media processing device that include a second set of software components and a second set of hardware components, the second media pathway conforming to the second desired level of security, the first set of software components differing from the second set of software components by at least one software component and the first set of hardware components differing from the second set of hardware components by at least one hardware component; and dynamically establishing a third media pathway utilizing a third set of selectable pathway components that include a third set of software components and a third set of hardware components, the third media pathway conforming to the first desired level of security, the first set of software components differing from the third set of software components by at least one software component and the first set of hardware components differing from the third set of hardware components by at least one hardware component.
