Irdeto

Has anyone heard about this? Apparently the Irdeto firm has acquired the advanced BD+ technology from Rovi (previously known as Macrovision) and has advanced the static security model into one of dynamic security.

I read an article by someone who claimed to have had breakfast with a person who claimed to be a VP of Irdeto. It's interesting. Instead of the normal short-lived cycle of typical DRM, Irdeto's 'Active Cloak' technology increases the DRM life-cycle using a holistic approach to DRM by streamlining the digital security model by using proactive measures in the digital domain.

They seem to have a fairly high buzz-word compliant statement.

As well, they claim that by using key staff to decimate the perceived failures of static protection, the active cloaking DRM has the formal advantage of giving service providers a network-managed method of determining the previous inadequacies of static protections and can offer a new method of dynamic DRM which has never even been seen or contemplated!

No, none of this makes any sense to me.

Oh, and I forgot to include the <SARCASM> tag.
