ViXS Systems Integrates the Cryptography Research CryptoFirewall into XCode(R) 4000 System-On-Chip Media Processors

September 2009 by Marc Jacob

Cryptography Research, Inc. announced that ViXS Systems Inc., a leading developer of video processing solutions, will integrate the Cryptography Research CryptoFirewallTM security technology into its leading-edge media processing system-on-chip (SoC) products starting with its recently announced XCode(R) 4000 family. The XCode(R) 4000 family of SoCs is designed to manage, process and securely distribute high definition audio and video content throughout the home and across advanced audio and video consumer devices.

Launched at IBC 2009, the XCode(R) 4000 family of media processing SoCs are already being designed into products for a number of consumer electronics and broadcast markets, including set-top boxes, Blu-ray players, HDTVs, Portable Media Players (PMP), Network Attached Storage (NAS) devices, DVD recorders and PC video products. A common requirement for all these applications is the need to protect and secure high-value studio content from piracy.

In addition to the many security features already implemented in the XCode(R) 4000 family of SoCs, the CryptoFirewall core adds a robust security block that can be utilized in conjunction with existing security and digital rights management (DRM) systems that exist today in the XCode(R) 4000 family. The CryptoFirewall technology is a self-contained hardware security core specifically architected to protect cryptographic keys in the SoC from piracy attacks even if the surrounding components or security elements are compromised. The CryptoFirewall core directly integrates tamper-resistant hardware into the SoC, and is designed to complement existing conditional access (CA) systems.
