Common use of Protection against Hacking Clause in Contracts

Protection against Hacking. Playback licenses, revocation certificates, and security-critical data shall be cryptographically protected against tampering, forging, and spoofing. The content protection system shall employ industry accepted tamper-resistant technology on hardware and software components (e.g., to prevent such hacks as a clock rollback, spoofing, use of common debugging tools, and intercepting unencrypted content in memory buffers). The content protection system shall implement secure internal data channels to prevent rogue processes from intercepting data transmitted between system processes. The content protection system shall prevent the use of media player filters or plug-ins that can be exploited to gain unauthorized access to content (e.g.: access to the decrypted but still encoded content by inserting a shim between the DRM and the player).
