3.1. High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP)

High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) is a form of digital rights protection to create a secure connection between the source to the display.

Intel created the original technology, which is licensed by the Digital Content Protection LLC group. HDCP is a copy protection method where the audio/video stream is encrypted between the transmitter and the receiver, protecting it against illegal copying.

The HDCP features adheres to HDCP Specification version 1.3 and HDCP Specification version 2.3.

The HDCP 1.3 and HDCP 2.3 IPs perform all computation within the hardware core logic with no confidential values (such as private key and session key) being accessible from outside the encrypted IP.
