DRM Firmware Adopted by Mobile Linux Stack

“In February, Discretex demonstrated its DRM Client on Qt
Extended (then known as Qtopia). Now, the DRM stack will apparently
be available to handset vendors such as Panasonic, NEC, Esteemo,
Sharp, and others that have lined up behind Access’s LiMO-compliant
Access Linux Platform (ALP).

“The Discretix Client reportedly implements two standards for
DRM on embedded devices. Maintained by the 4C-Entity organization,

include:

“* Content Protection for Recordable Media (CPRM)
* Content Protection for Pre-recorded Media (CPPM)”
