Intel Core chips to secure movie streaming
Intel is building a hardware security layer in its next-generation Core chips to prevent streaming movies from being copied.
The chip feature, called Insider, includes an end-to-end protection layer and management feature to unlock high-definition movies from online streaming services, said Karen Regis, consumer Consumer Client Marketing Manager at Intel.
Insider is a part of Intel's enhanced graphics offerings in its next-generation Core processors, which will be officially released on Jan. 5, ahead of the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. With Insider, users will get access to more 1080p high-definition streaming content, which is not yet mainstream on the internet, Regis said. Movies with the 1080p high-definition - in which images are shown in a 1920 by 1080 pixel resolution - can also be found on Blu-ray discs.
