    "Intel offers a hardware and software environment
that enables us to provide an optimized security client,
tailored to take full advantage of Intel's media processing
architecture," Steve Oetegenn, chief sales and
marketing officer, Verimatrix. "We are extremely happy
to be integrated into set-top boxes and other devices based
on Intel's high performance platform architecture."

    VCAS for IPTV is designed to take advantage of the
bi-directional nature of IP networks. The software is based
on Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) that uses X.509 digital
certificates to identify each component in the system and
to securely encrypt data using public and private keys.  By
offering a multi-layer approach to content security, VCAS
for IPTV provides encryption, conditional access, digital
rights management and user-specific forensic watermarking
that meets the needs of the network operator, content owner
and the consumer. 

    "Verimatrix's track record in the IPTV industry
coupled with its comprehensive experience with content
security solutions will help to better address today's
networks challenges, as well as those in the years
ahead," said William O. Leszinske, Jr., general
manager of Intel's Consumer Electronics Group. 
"Having an additional layer of content security at the
chip level gives device manufacturers and content owners
additional peace of mind that the system will be better
protected."

    The Intel CE 2110 Media Processor is a new
system-on-a-chip (SOC) architecture that will power a new
generation of devices, such as digital set-top boxes and
networked media players, and bring consumers advanced
in-home information and entertainment services. The highly
integrated hardware and software platform will help
manufacturers accelerate time to market, and develop
smarter, more cost-effective consumer electronics designs
that deliver advanced applications and services to
consumers.
