Broomfield, CO–April 12, 2017 – Alticast today announced that it has significantly extended the security capabilities of the Alticast AltiProtect product to 4K UHD content running on Windows® platforms.
Alticast has integrated Intel® Software Guard Extensions (Intel® SGX)
technology into the AltiProtect Multi-DRM product to eliminate exposure to
untrusted areas, enable secure delivery of 4K UHD online video content from
servers to client devices, and prevent copying of content from GPU memory.
Using multiple security mechanisms, AltiProtect enables a transparent customer experience and a single point
of control for delivery of content streams from multiple sources within
multi-service, multi-device environments. Intel SGX provides the Trusted
Execution Environment platform that ensures the confidentiality and integrity
of software code and data.
“As content and service providers seek to deliver service to as many device families as possible, they face the challenge of maximizing content protection within specific platforms,” said Jae Park, VP of Business Development. “By combining the capabilities of Intel SGX and AltiProtect, we are able to offer the strongest security possible to Windows systems.”
“The
need to ensure secure delivery is taking on greater importance as operators offer
higher value 4K UHD content,” said Rick
Echevarria, Vice President, Intel Software and Services Group, and General
Manager, Intel Platforms Security Division. “Our
work with AltiProtect strengthens the industry’s ability to safeguard 4K UHD
content in an over-the-top environment.”
Studio-approved and highly rated by Telcordia, AltiProtect uses
well-defined industry standards to ensure reliable content protection for
broadcast and VOD, and can easily adapt to unique network infrastructures. AltiProtect is being used by CJ HelloVision,
the largest pay-TV operator in South Korea, to secure the world’s first launch
of UHD pay-TV service.
Alticast and Intel will demonstrate security capabilities for 4K UHD in
an over-the-top Windows environment at the Alticast booth (SU12706CM) at NAB Show, April
24-27 in Las Vegas.
