Digital Media and DRM Protection
App Security for Robustness Rules and Intellectual Property Protection
Arxan supports security of digital rights management (DRM) enabled desktop and embedded applications in the following ways:
- Compliance with applicable robustness rules for all leading DRM systems including Marlin, Widevine DRM, Microsoft WMDRM, Microsoft PlayReady, DTCP and OMA. In-house or proprietary DRM systems are also supported.
- Hardening of critical functions that administer business models and revenue management, such as metering and authentication
- Protection of proprietary intellectual property that ensures a brand's differentiation and competitive edge.
- Security for node/private keys and content keys to prevent content theft.
There are several security requirements that are unique to digital media and DRM enabled applications:
Conformance with Robustness Rules: Ensuring conformance with applicable robustness rules is a mandatory requirement. Arxan provides a combination of risk assessment services, protection engineering services and security products to help you meet your robustness obligations in an efficient, secure and easy to deploy manner.
Anti-RE for secret keys and anti-tamper for public keys: Arxan provides layers of protection for keys through Guard technology (in GuardIT or EnsureIT) and White Box Cryptography (through TransformIT) to ensure your protection target for your keys are met.
Sensitive to performance impact: Arxan's highly configurable, precise and high-efficiency protection provides ruggedness without affecting application performance
Resilience: Ensuring that client deployments are not subject to widespread breaches, and quickly managing/patching a new breach is a critical requirement. Arxan provides point-click diversification to prevent Breach Once Run Everywhere (BORE) exploits in a low-cost, low-impact manner. Breach management is also orders of magnitude simpler and less expensive, as well as more secure, using Guard based technology.
