Game Consoles:
Secure Content Distribution over the Home Network

Many homes have game consoles today, and operators can take advantage of their ubiquity to distribute content from their STBs over the home network to these popular systems, like the Xbox 360, PS3 and Wii, using DTCP/IP security.

With Irdeto ActiveCloak™ for Media, operators can leverage a dynamic security solution known by the studios and trusted to meet their stringent security requirements. Unlike other solutions that focus solely on basic DRM robustness and initial attack resistance, ActiveCloak secures the entire media application against attack and provides ongoing security lifecycle management to defend your service and your reputation from harm.
