Widevine Technologies to Deliver Intelligent, Real-Time Encryption for MPEG-4 Wireless Transmissions With TI's OMAP™ Processors

Seattle, WA, January 30, 2002 – Expediting a development initiative to provide intelligent, real-time encryption for wireless MPEG-4 transmissions on 2.5G and 3G mobile phone, and wireless personal digital assistants (PDAs), Widevine Technologies announced today that it has joined Texas Instruments' (TI) (NYSE: TXN) OMAP™ Developer Network. The companies are working together to provide wireless device manufacturers with integrated secure MPEG-4 transmissions using the Widevine Cypher™ system with TI's family of high performance, power-efficient OMAP application processors.

"Leading wireless device manufacturers continue to adopt TI's OMAP processor platform, providing Widevine access to large and profitable markets to deliver our intelligent, real-time encryption for wireless MPEG-4 transmissions," said John Beyer, chief executive officer, Widevine Technologies. "As the explosion of digital content being distributed over public and private networks continues, this strategic relationship with TI is an important step toward addressing the inevitable security concerns of content owners, distributors and consumers."

The Widevine Technologies system, Widevine Cypher, is flexible, efficient, transparent to the end-user and capable of securing communications from its original source to any distribution point. Widevine Cypher addresses the security needs of wireless devices by combining an extremely small client footprint with strong encryption algorithms to encrypt all or portions of the wireless data transmitted.

"Wireless providers are facing the same security needs as terrestrial networks with added complications of limited bandwidth, limited footprint and extreme mobility," said David Potts, worldwide applications manager for TI's OMAP platform. "Widevine's real-time encryption technology provides a number of advantages for 2.5G and 3G wireless device manufacturers who use TI's family of OMAP processors, including identification of new revenue streams and providing peace of mind for wireless device users who make MPEG-4 transmissions."

The Widevine Cypher software system is a patent-pending network security technology, providing a single solution for secure storage, distribution, delivery and control of digital data over every stage of an Internet Protocol-based network. This unique solution offers unprecedented benefits:

• Platform and format independence including Real Networks' RealMedia (NASDAQ: RNWK), Microsoft's Windows Media (NASDAQ: MSFT), Apple's QuickTime (NASDAQ: AAPL), MPEG 4, H.323 and others
• Anti-copying technology providing tamper evidence and tamper monitoring capability
• End-user transparency
• Extremely small footprint
• Highly scalable architecture
• Seamless deployment and integration
• Supports industry-standard protocols
• Utilizes standard encryption algorithms used by the U.S. government
• Secure return channel
