Nagravision, MediaTek DRM partnership
September 12, 2025
Nagravision, a Kudelski Group (SIX:KUD.S) company, and MediaTek, the semiconductor manufacturers, have announced a strategic partnership to set a new standard in next generation digital rights management (DRM).
The collaboration will deliver an on-device security solution that enables renewable content protection and eliminates the risks of credential management applied at the factory level, ushering in a new era of trust, DRM robustness, and protection for digital entertainment.
As digital piracy surges, the joint solution strengthens market-leading DRM technologies using a hardware root-of-trust and key ladder architecture that dramatically reduces the reliance on Trusted Execution Environments (TEE) which often vary across devices and degrade over time.
“Pirates are constantly probing for weaknesses at the DRM level,” said Sam Lee, Deputy General Manager, Smart Home BU at MediaTek. “Our partnership with Nagravision enables a renewable, resilient security model that adapts to evolving threats and protects content long after a device has left the factory.”
The enhanced DRM implementation uses Nagravision’s secure in-field provisioning – allowing credentials to be managed dynamically and securely. This not only eliminates factory-level risks but also empowers service providers to immediately renew credentials when a compromise is detected. For consumer devices powered by MediaTek chipsets, service providers can now activate broadcast-grade security, comparable to that found in set-top boxes, to stream high-value, high-quality content such as live sports.
“Robust on-device security is no longer a luxury but a differentiator for service providers looking to offer their subscribers the highest quality content possible,” said Stéphane Le Dreau, SVP Product Management and Sales Development at Nagravision. “Together with MediaTek, we’re delivering a future-proof solution that meets the demands of today’s content providers and responds to tomorrow’s threats.”
As service providers adopt device-specific content delivery strategies, MediaTek-powered devices equipped with Nagravision’s enhanced DRM are positioned to support premium licensing requirements, secure investments in high-quality content and achieve premium security ratings to sustain long-term value.
