HDCP 2.x Receiver IP

Design IP

Overview

SmartDV’s HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) 2.x Receiver IP is a silicon-proven solution that ensures secure, high-bandwidth transmission of ultra-high-definition video and audio content over HDMI, DisplayPort (DP), and Embedded DisplayPort (eDP) interfaces. Fully compliant with HDCP 2.x specifications, it supports advanced encryption, locality check, session key exchange, and secure key storage to protect against sophisticated content piracy threats.

Designed for flexibility, the IP core is highly configurable to meet specific design requirements, supporting both ASIC and FPGA implementations while optimizing for area, power, and performance. With seamless interoperability and support for content protection in 4K and higher-resolution systems, it is ideally suited for next-generation display, automotive, and consumer multimedia applications.

Benefits

Comprehensive HDCP 2.x Receiver Functionality – Implements full HDCP 2.2 and 2.3 Receiver feature set for secure reception and decryption of protected 4K and 8K audiovisual content.
Multi-Interface Compatibility – Seamlessly supports HDMI, DisplayPort, MHL, and USB Type-C (DisplayPort Alt Mode) receiver implementations.
Advanced Authentication and Key Exchange – Implements RSA-based authentication, Diffie–Hellman key exchange, and locality check for enhanced protection against man-in-the-middle attacks.
AES-Based Encryption Engine – Uses AES-128 in CTR mode for efficient content decryption with hardware-level throughput and minimal latency.
Robust Revocation and Renewability – Supports System Renewability Message (SRM) and Certificate Revocation List (CRL) updates for long-term device security and license compliance.
Flexible Key Management – Supports device private/public key pairs, session key derivation, and secure storage mechanisms for integration with system-level key management modules.
Optimized for SoC Integration – Compact architecture designed for easy integration with HDMI/DisplayPort RX controllers and PHYs via AXI, AHB, or APB interfaces.
