Elliptic Offers Highest Protection for Premium Content with HDCP 2.2 Compliant Solutions

HDCP technologies protect premium content such as digital motion pictures, television programs and audio against unauthorized interception and copying between connected devices including set top boxes, smart phones, tablets and digital TVs. HDCP has broad industry support from the major players in the digital entertainment value chain, including motion picture studios, semiconductor companies and consumer electronics manufacturers. The specification is endorsed by Sony, Panasonic, Intel and content owners such as Universal Pictures, Warner Bros. Entertainment and others.

“Technologies such as HDCP are important to providing consumers access to premium entertainment. Elliptic is a leader in the development, adoption and compliance of HDCP which enables complete, cost-effective content protection solutions for digital audio and video entertainment in the wireless and wireline home network environments, “ said Vijay Dube, President and CEO of Elliptic Technologies. “Driven by the fast evolving sophistication of home entertainment offerings, our HDCP customers and industry partners require our products to be not only compliant with the latest standards, but also deployed rapidly and effectively in a variety of applications.”

The new HDCP 2.2 includes a number of enhancements and updates to the HDCP Interface Independent Adaptation (HDCP IIA) specification. For instance, HDCP security is required for Wi-Fi Display Miracast enabled devices. WFD/Miracast is an industry-wide solution for seamlessly displaying premium content between devices without cables or a network connection.

Elliptic’s tVault HDCP supports all mandatory elements of copy protection as well as enhanced locality check features and robustness rules support. The solution runs efficiently in limited resource environments and it can be implemented within frameworks such as ARM TrustZone, where security critical components are embedded and executed in trusted environments and non-critical components are executed by the host OS, such as Android.
