DMOD Showcases Secure Audio on TI's OMAP Platform at Windows Embedded Developers Conference
BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 28, 2001--DMOD, Inc. a leading provider of secure distribution solutions for digital assets, today demonstrated the first secure audio playback implementation on Texas Instruments OMAP(TM) platform for 2.5 and 3G wireless Internet devices. DMOD's implementation delivers secure digital media content across numerous networks and platforms, including wireless devices. DMOD, a member of TI's OMAP Developer Network, demonstrated this technology for Microsoft Windows CE wireless devices at today's Windows Embedded Developers Conference in Las Vegas. The demonstration can be viewed today through Friday, Nov. 30, at TI's booth #54.
The market's insatiable appetite for digital media delivered to all types of devices continues to grow. Wireless devices present formidable challenges to application developers who need to provide adequate security for the distribution of digital content while keeping the experience user-friendly. DMOD, in its implementation of TI's OMAP platform, has opened the door to more widespread digital media applications. DMOD's flexible solution allows the quick and secure migration of all kinds of digital media, such as audio, video, graphics, text and games, to both wireless and traditional network computing devices.
Efficient, Yet Highly Secure
DMOD's on-the-fly encryption engine, enabled by NTRU public-key cryptography and also included in TI's wireless security library for the OMAP Platform, provides a ``double layer' of protection that encrypts both the content and the channel of communication. For the highest level of security, DMOD dynamically rotates the content encryption keys as the content is sent through the encrypted channel. At the same time, DMOD's security is completely transparent, allowing users to focus on the media itself, not the technologies that protect it.
``DMOD's secure distribution technology is an important component in increasing the proliferation of digital media on wireless devices,' said David Potts, OMAP applications manager at Texas Instruments. ``We're excited that TI's OMAP platform, combined with our leading-edge OMAP security library, has enabled DMOD to deliver secure digital media across a variety of form factors -- expanding the market potential for all kind of wireless Internet products.'
``TI's OMAP processor platform and security library are a superb foundation for DMOD's secure digital media transfer technology in wireless applications,' said Mark Overington, president and CEO of DMOD. ``DMOD was the first company to publicly distribute secure MP3 files, and we remain committed to taking digital content into new frontiers of applications to protect intellectual property.'
