CAMBRIDGE, U.K. -- Delivering pay-TV class content security on a smart TV platform capable of supporting open applications is now a reality on the MeeGo operating system, according to a new white paper published today by Amino Communications.

Amino has used the MeeGo OS to support the world’s first hybrid/OTT service deployment by a tier one operator, and believes its real world OTT experience and innovation has given unique insights into the development of new security frameworks to protect content from piracy and malicious attack.

Until now, many industry experts have believed that this type of configuration can only be supported by using advanced and complex security measures. However, in the white paper entitled “MeeGo Security Concepts”, Amino has identified ways in which the security measures designed for mobile phone security within the MeeGo operating system can be adapted for the smart TV environment quickly and effectively without the additional costs associated with traditional content security measures.

The white paper presents a methodology which isolates the application inside MeeGo without requiring full virtualisation or sandboxing – the standard “heavyweight” means of securing content.

In a separate release:
