CoreMedia and Discretix join forces to accelerate the deployment of mobile content services

The client: Discretix

Discretix is a leading provider of embedded security and DRM solutions for mobile devices and flash-based storage. The Discretix Multi-Scheme DRM Client offers unparalleled flexibility in meeting the evolving needs of mobile operators and handset manufacturers.

The challenge: Fully interoperable, robust, seamless end-to-end solutions for digital rights management

Discretix aims to achieve the highest possible levels of interoperability for its products. Consistent application of the OMA standards is a priority, together with the wish to make Discretix products compatible with those of CoreMedia, for the benefit of both parties. Only interoperable DRM enables uncomplicated usability, thanks to a simple operational structure and the speedy application of digital content services. With a strategic partnership, both partners were able to offer comprehensive, improved and highly marketable solutions.

The solution: The CoreMedia DRM Test Server for complete interoperability – a partnership for the future

Discretix chose the CoreMedia DRM Test Server for carrying out interoperability tests. The test server identifies problems in a very early stage of development and cost-effectively maximizes the quality of the device software. In addition, CoreMedia DRM Test Server is the fastest way to run increasingly complex test scenarios, thanks to its basis in proven DRM components that are used by operators around the globe. It presents a comprehensive DRM environment for testing devices, which simulates all currently valid OMA DRM 2.0 standards.

On the basis of this successful collaboration, Discretix and CoreMedia decided to enter a strategic partnership to draw on the expertise and innovation of both parties in developing new fully interoperable solutions for digital rights management. The combination of the robust, hardware-based security solution from Discretix with the comprehensive content technology from CoreMedia provides a secure and innovative infrastructure upon which convergent digital content commerce can flourish.
