BayPay Event: Authentication and Identity Track - Setting the StageOctober 15, 2013 - San Francisco, CA
 Dear BayPay Members,
Every payment and commerce system are based on trust. Lose it and you're out of business.
Talking to many BayPay members who have to deal with securing access to sensitive information like bank accounts, mobile apps, card not present transactions, etc, we realized that it was more and more difficult to make sure that the person behind the transaction was the right one. From layered authentication to knowledge base security, systems are becoming very sophisticated but sometimes involving a lot of efforts from end users and consumers. In this series of fortunate events, we wanted to take a look at this side of the transactions to understand what the status of authentication is and where it is going.
Please join us for the first event of the Authentication and Identity Track, a series of panels around authentication, security and identity management as they apply to payments, commerce, banking and beyond.
This first event will allow us to set the stage and review some of the leading solutions and overall trends. We will have the opportunity to have in-depth discussions with experts from RSA, Natural Security, Iovation, HID Global and OneID. For example, we will hear how Steve Kirsch's frustration managing dozens of passwords lead him to start OneID; understand HID Global's vision of transparent and unobtrusive authentication; and learn about Iovation's concept of device reputation.
The event format will allow each panelist 10 minutes of presentation time, followed by a panel discussion and time for audience questions.

INSIDE SECURE PROTECTS PREMIUM CONTENT IN NEW PIXELA ANDROID SET-TOP BOX FOR JAPAN’S LARGEST CABLE TV PROVIDER

INSIDE Secure Protects Premium Content in New Pixela Android Set-Top Box for Japan’s Largest Cable TV Provider
Brings Smartphone/Tablet Entertainment Experience to Home TV Subscribers of J.COM and Other Providers
AIX-EN-PROVENCE, France, September 17, 2013– INSIDE Secure today announced that its downloadable DRM Fusion Agent™ software is being used by Osaka-based Pixela Corporation to meet stringent premium content protection requirements for a new Android™-based set-top box (STB) developed for Jupiter Communications (J.COM), Japan’slargestcable TV provider. The INSIDE software is compatible with Android on any platform, supports multiple playback methods and the PlayReady standard. It enabled Pixela to quickly and easily develop a set-top box that meets the security demands and requirements of premium content providers to protect the delivery of high-value HD content to J.COM subscribers’ home TVs.
“We relied heavily on INSIDE’s vast experience with DRM security technology on Android platforms, and this enabled us to significantly reduce our development time and effort while developing this set-top box for J.COM,” said Motoyuki Ikeda, manager, first software division at Pixela Corporation. “INSIDE already has a successful relationship with J.COM, which helped boost our credibility, and their DRM technology has the approval of all the major Hollywood content providers for delivering HD-quality content, which removed another major hurdle.”
Using Pixela’s Android-based set-top box, consumerswill be able to download TV apps and content—even if they’re not J.COM subscribers—toenjoya wide variety of on-demand movies, TV shows and other high-definition entertainment at home on their HD TVs.
“Pixela is the first customer to use our downloadable DRM Agent software for a set-top box application, and INSIDE is the only company to offer both downloadable software and hardware-embedded DRM agents, allowing maximum flexibility and security for content and service providers and device manufacturers,” said Dr. Simon Blake-Wilson, INSIDE executive vice president of embedded security solutions. “J.COM already uses downloadable DRM Fusion Agent software to enable its 2.5 million subscribers to enjoy video-on-demand services on their Android and iOS devices. With this embedded version, J.COM will be able to provide the same exceptional user experience on home TVs to a much wider market.”
According to Blake-Wilson, the majority of next-generation STBs and connected home/Smart TVs being developed are based on the Android platform. But Android does not natively provide the kind of content protection required for the commercial delivery of high-value content such as on-demand movies, HD television shows and other premium entertainment. Set-top box makers, cable providers and others seeking to take advantage of Android for its familiar user interface and abundance of entertainment apps still must add adequate content protection to meet the security demands of Hollywood studios and other content providers.
DRM Fusion Agent Software
INSIDE Secure DRM Fusion Agent software enables device and media chipset manufacturers to deliver the protection that content and service providers require to securely deliver content the way users want it, online or offline, including services like over-the-top (OTT), video on demand (VoD) and Live TV with Catch-Up. INSIDE DRM Fusion Agent software, embedded or downloadable, offers the critical Microsoft PlayReady, Windows Media DRM, OMA DRM 2.X, and/or UltraViolet security developers need to enable premium content to be played on virtually any mobile phone, tablet, set-top box, connected TV or home media system. Approved for use by Apple, Microsoft, RIM and all the major Hollywood studios, the DRM Fusion Agent software provides content protection and packaging, licensing and key management for multiple mobile device platforms and operating systems.
