Authored by Mark Hefflinger on November 23, 2004 - 4:27am.
Paris -- Thomson, a provider of video equipment to media and entertainment firms, announced on Tuesday that it has partnered with VeriSign, a provider of e-commerce security software, to create an on-demand content authentication and authorization service to support the secure delivery of music, movies, games and other media over the Internet. The companies say they have already demonstrated the service with entertainment, telecom and technology firms and plan a commercial launch by mid-2005. Paris-based Thomson and Mountain View, Calif.-based VeriSign are also developing proprietary technology to provide secure authentication and authorization of digital content over home networks and devices like PCs, digital video recorders and recordable media. Yesterday, Thomson announced that it purchased a 33% stake in ContentGuard, a digital rights management joint venture with Microsoft and Time Warner.
