Background of the technologyUniversal Data Protection Corporation’s patent pending secure device communication and peer-to-peer (P2P) applications can be applied to home entertainment systems, automobiles, computer systems comprised of a number of peripherals, and other systems comprised of popular theft items.
With UDPi’s technology, once devices in a closed network or system are configured to operate in secure mode they can only communicate with other devices in that closed network. This means that if a device that has been configured to operate in secure mode is taken out of the control network it cannot communicate with any other compatible devices. The main advantage to such a system is that it deters thieves from stealing components of the system since they would be unable to resell them as individual components.
Secure peer-to-peer (P2P) communication between two electronic devices can also be realized with UDPi’s patent pending technology. Each receiver has a unique key that is used to decode incoming messages. This key is not sent to the transmitter over the transmission line, but through another secure channel. This system is unique from other methods because the transmitter and receiver do not exchange keys over the transmission line. There is always a danger when the key is sent over the transmission that the line will be sniffed and the key discovered.
UDPi’s secure device communication and peer-to-peer (P2P) applications are implemented using a secure microprocessor, creating inherent security rather than software security based on encryptions, which require huge calculations to create an encrypted data stream.
The UDPi hardware security solution is embedded in the processor during the manufacturing process and provides advanced protection capabilities previously unavailable.
Additionally, the internal and external flash is protected with UDPi. Die slicing, magnetic probing, chemical etching, data sniffing of bus lines, or other forms of tampering or attack are not a threat to UDPi protected devices.
