Cliff/Khillo--WAVE inside that IP-TV Set-Top Box? Is that what you DARE suggest? And you're absolutely on the mark! Only WAVE is able to provide "hardware authenticity" via the TPM!

Great DD!

Security Subsystem
The security subsystem provides hardware support for the DRM Plugin. Only this unique combination of hardware and software can provide a good media security.
The hardware part of the DRM subsystem is composed of two chips: the TPM (Trusted Processing Module) from Atmel and an FPGA-based decryption accelerator. The TPM allows for verification of hardware and software authenticity, while the accelerator provides the necessary power for strong encryption.
Since the accelerator is FPGA-based, it is possible to change the encryption algorithm by reprogramming the FPGA.
