Business Description

We design, develop and sell hardware, software and silicon solutions that enable people to conveniently and securely access digital content and services, including content and services that have been protected through digital encryption. We sell our secure digital access products into three markets segments: PC Security, Digital TV and Flash Media Interface.

• For the PC Security market, we offer smart card reader technology that enables secure access to PCs, networks and physical facilities.

• For the Digital TV market, we offer conditional access modules that provide secure, removable decryption for digital pay-TV broadcasts.

• For the Flash Media Interface market, we offer digital media readers and application specific integrated circuits, or ASICs that are used to transfer digital content to and from various flash media.

We sell our products primarily to original equipment manufacturers, or OEMs, who typically either bundle our products with their own solutions, or repackage our products for resale to their customers. Our OEM customers include: government contractors, systems integrators, large enterprises, computer manufacturers, as well as banks and other financial institutions for our smart card readers; digital TV operators and broadcasters and conditional access providers for our conditional access modules; and computer and photographic equipment manufacturers for our digital media readers. We sell and license our products through a direct sales and marketing organization, as well as through distributors, value added resellers and systems integrators worldwide.
