Secure Digital Content
Content protection continues to grow increasingly important, as more and
more content providers prepare to place their assets on the Internet. Wrapper technologies are inherently insecure against all but casual
piracy. This is because the encrypted content and the decryption key
eventually reside together on the client's machine, allowing a dedicated
hacker unlimited access to both. Midbar has developed "PlaySEC", a new technology for securing
digital content which offers a significantly higher level of security
than DRMs and does not require any modification of the client's computing
environment and/or usage procedures. The client's experience remains
the same - simply click and play.
DRM wrapper technologies are today's leading solution for securing digital
content.
A wrapper is a digital content protection technology based on encrypting
the content, and installing a specialized software shell called a Digital
Rights Manager (DRM) on the client's machine. By means of an online connection
with a clearinghouse site, the DRM is able to check if a user has permission
to utilize the content, piece by piece. An authorized client is then able
to view the content or run an application once it has been "unwrapped",
i.e., decrypting the wrapper. The unwrapping is performed either by the
DRM shell before the content or application is used, or within a specialized
enabled "player".
