Abstract: The techniques disclosed herein enable a guest operating system (OS) to access and use a media processing component configured on a host OS. The guest OS provides, via an API, a request to create an instance of the media processing component (e.g., a codec, an encryption/decryption component, a DRM component). In association with the request, the guest OS allocates space in memory for media data that is to be processed by the instance of the media processing component configured on the host OS. The guest OS stores the input media data in the allocated memory and provides, via the API, reference(s) to locations of the allocated memory. The reference(s) to the locations of the allocated memory enable the host OS to retrieve the input media data and process the input media data using the instance of the media processing component configured on the host OS.

Abstract: Described herein is a system and method for validating media integrity using asymmetric key cryptography utilizing a public/private cryptographic key pair. The private key is kept secret and is known to an originator and/or publisher of a media file. The public key is added to the media file and is used to validate integrity of the media file, that is, that content of the media file (e.g., portion(s), frame(s)) has not been altered since publication of the media file. By validating integrity of the media file, strong proof that the media file came from an owner of the keypair (e.g., had possession of the private key) can be obtained, for example, resolving issues of trust and/or authenticity common in altered content. In some embodiments, information regarding an origin of the content can further be determined.
