Anti-piracy chip developed

Chip designer Beyond Broadband has developed a password-free anti-piracy chip.

The outfit, founded by a quartet of cable industry veterans, has been granted a patent for making a chip to solve the problem of getting entertainment content and data securely over the Internet, broadband or wireless.

Steve Effros, one of the BBT partners and a former president of the Cable Telecommunications Association claims that the chip provides a totally secure communications path.

The chip does not involve software, which is too easy to hack, instead it has a "downloadable conditional access system," with its hardware specifically designed so only a licensed user can access the content.
