1394 Trade Association Establishes Content Protection for 1394 Protocol Adaptation to 802.11.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 21, 2002 The 1394 Trade Association announced today that its Wireless Working Group (WWG WWG World Wide Group (WWDB) WWG Windward Group WWG Weapons Working Group WWG Warranty Working Group WWG Weather Wing ) has resolved the issue of commercial entertainment content protection for devices that comply with the WWG 1394 Protocol Adaptation Layer (PAL) for 802.11. The Wireless Working Group is chartered to deliver IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, New York, www.ieee.org) A membership organization that includes engineers, scientists and students in electronics and allied fields. 1394 into the wireless domain. Its initial focus is on developing an implementation specification for a 1394 PAL to IEEE 802.11. "Digital Transmission Content Protection Digital Transmission Content Protection, or DTCP, is a digital rights management (DRM) technology that aims to restrict "digital home" technologies including DVD players and televisions by encrypting interconnections between devices. , most commonly referred to as DTCP DTCP Digital Transmission Content Protection (method) DTCP Dynamic Tunnel Configuration Protocol DTCP Digital Transport Content Protection DTCP Digital Transmission Copy Protection , is an approved standard for content protection in a wired 1394 environment," said Steve Bard, Chair of the Wireless Working Group. "The WWG 1394 PAL facilitates the use of data protected by DTCP across 802.11." The Digital Transmission Licensing Administrator, LLC (Logical Link Control) See "LANs" under data link protocol. LLC - Logical Link Control (DTLA DTLA Digital Transmission Licensing Administrator DTLA Digital Transmission Licensing Administration DTLA Digital Transmission Licensing Authority ) has indicated support for the use of DTCP through a 1394 PAL over 802.11, based upon information provided by the Wireless Working Group. Michael B. Ayers, President of DTLA said, "A 1394 PAL makes 802.11 transparent to DTCP, and does not require a supplemental DTCP mapping." "The 1394 PAL extends the use of 1394 standards and protocols over 802.11, including DTCP, and underscores the Trade Association's commitment to support existing standards and protocols when developing Trade Association Implementation Specifications," said James Snider, Executive Director of the 1394 Trade Association. DTLA, also known as "5C," was formed in 1998 by five leading technology companies -- Hitachi, Ltd., Intel Corporation (company) Intel Corporation - A US microelectronics manufacturer. They produced the Intel 4004, Intel 8080, Intel 8086, Intel 80186, Intel 80286, Intel 80386, Intel 486 and Pentium microprocessor families as well as many other integrated circuits and personal computer networking , Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd., Sony Corporation and Toshiba Corporation -- to license their jointly-developed DTCP technology for protection of video and audio content against unauthorized interception or retransmission Retransmission might refer to:
