Abstract
Methods, apparatuses and storage medium associated with securely provisioning a digital content protection scheme are disclosed. In various embodiments, a method may include forming a trust relationship between a media application within an application execution environment of a device and a security controller of the device. The application execution environment may include an operating system, and the operating system may control resources within the application execution environment. Additionally, the security controller may be outside the application execution environment, enabling components of the security controller to be secured from components of the operating system. Further, the method may include the security controller in enabling a digital content protection scheme for the media application to provide digital content to a digital content protection enabled transmitter within the application execution environment for provision to a digital content protection enabled receiver. Other embodiments may be disclosed or claimed.
