It integrates with InterTrust's industry leading, general-purpose digital rights management system, and offers content providers and appliance manufacturers affordable security, protecting their intellectual property and copyrighted material.
Consumers benefit from the availability of more digital content.
If content providers cannot protect their content effectively, they will restrict its availability in digital form. Strong hardware security offers a solution to this dilemma for business models that require more assurance than can be provided by software alone. Because content providers are able to distribute their content securely, consumers will see a wider range of content more readily and more affordably available. Likewise, consumers' personal information will have the quality of protection that only secure hardware can provide against tampering or unauthorized interception. Whenever consumers make a purchase using the InterTrust secure hardware, consumers can rest assured that no one can impersonate their identity or steal their account information.
