Irdeto Secures Deal With Liberty Global

Irdeto said Liberty Global has selected its Irdeto Rights platform to secure on-demand and linear video delivered to IP-connected consumer devices.

Irdeto Rights provides hardened security on a technology agnostic basis across different DRMs in an increasingly complex ecosystem, the company said.

Liberty Global is using the system in Europe to protect managed IP video delivered to the cloud to customers who take the MSO’s broadband and pay-TV packages. The service is currently live in Ireland and the Netherlands, with additional countries to follow in the coming months.

Irdeto is also working with Liberty Global to secure content over IP via the set-top-box video gateway.
