DUAL VIRTUAL MACHINE AND TRUSTED PLATFORM MODULE ARCHITECTURE FOR NEXT GENERATION MEDIA PLAYERS

摘要

A software computing based environment (10) for providing secured authentication of media (12) downloaded from a network or loaded from a media player includes two peer-mode operating virtual machines (22, 24). The low-level virtual machine (22) provides decoding and decryption functions whereas the high-level virtual machine (24) provides application level functions such as user interface, input/output.
