Hardware Security in the Consumer Electronics Market

The Dawn of Secure Processors



From console and PC games to DVD discs to broadband-delivered digital media content, the software-based security systems protecting these assets have invariability been compromised. Sometime these breaches are minor annoyances to the company and its brand, but sometimes there are significant monetary implications and ensuing legal consequences. Meanwhile, outside the consumer electronics market, corporate computers are now sporting the next generation of secure computing technology and handsets are closely following suit. These platforms use processors with significant new hardware features that bring security support to the lowest levels of the machine architecture.

This study examines these new processors and considers the implications for the home digital video network market. We look at the work done in the PC platform and in embedded environments, as well as the key industry initiatives shaping the marketplace. This report will provide a forecast for secure processor adoption into relevant consumer electronics products and applications.
