Sunnyvale, California. March 22, 2011.
whiteCryption today announced the general availability of a white-box AES implementation that is performance-optimized to support real-time data streaming on mobile devices. The white-box AES implementation fulfills the growing need of content providers and DRM manufacturers to securely protect valuable audio and video contents on mobile platforms, such as iPhone, iPad, Android smartphones, and Android tablets.
The white-box AES implementation is based on a new white-box cryptography technology developed by whiteCryption. It is designed to provide high performance on mobile device processor architectures and to maintain a high security level. The white-box cryptography technology protects the implementation of the AES algorithm and ensures that cryptographic keys, the algorithm's program code, and internal processing data are always encrypted. Even during execution, the white-box implementation performs computations directly on encrypted keys and data without decrypting them.
The white-box AES is integrated in the whiteCryption Secure Key Box (SKB), a white-box cryptographic library. whiteCryption SKB provides a broad cryptographic feature-set based on white-box implementations of the AES, RSA, and ECC ciphers, and the SHA hash function. whiteCryption SKB is available for several operating systems and a broad spectrum of hardware platforms, such as desktop computers, mobile devices, and embedded systems. It is designed to be used by developers with little understanding of applied cryptography, since it implements all the features and algorithms required to protect secrets.
