A secretive effort to secure music and video on wireless devices will come out of the shadows next week, when Open Mobile Alliance’s “Project Hudson” will culminate in new DRM specifications for the industry and the formation of a new licensing body led by Intel, Nokia, Panasonic and Samsung that will promote the technology, reports News.com. Toshiba was originally a member of the licensing group but has since backed out.
The licensing entity will be known as the Content Management License Administrator (CMLA) and will promote an implementation of the latest version of OMA’s DRM standard…the DRM scheme will be built into mobile handsets, allowing encrypted files to be streamed onto compliant devices. Known as OMA DRM 2.0 Enabler Release, the specification could also potentially support devices connected in wireless networks based on the 802.11 standards, or Wi-Fi.
