DATA PATHS Clause Samples
The DATA PATHS clause defines how data is transmitted, routed, or accessed within a system or between parties. It typically specifies the technical or logical routes that data will follow, such as through specific servers, networks, or storage locations, and may outline requirements for encryption or security along these paths. By clearly delineating the permitted or required data pathways, this clause helps ensure data integrity, security, and compliance with relevant regulations, thereby reducing the risk of unauthorized access or data breaches.
DATA PATHS. Decrypted DT Data shall not be available on outputs other than those specified in the Compliance Rules. Within a Licensed Product that includes Sink Functions, Decrypted Type 2 Audio DT Data, Decrypted Type 3 Audio DT Data, and the video portion of Decrypted DT Data, shall not be present on any user-accessible buses in analog or unencrypted, compressed form.
DATA PATHS. Decrypted DT Data shall not be available on outputs other than those specified in the Compliance Rules. Within a Licensed Product that includes Sink Functions, Decrypted Type 2 Audio DT Data, Decrypted Type 3 Audio DT Data, and the video portion of Decrypted DT Data, shall not be present on any user-accessible buses in analog or unencrypted, compressed form.
2.1 A “user accessible bus” means (a) an internal analog connector that: (i) is designed and incorporated for the purpose of permitting end user upgrades or access or (ii) otherwise readily facilitates end user access or (b) a data bus that is designed for end user upgrades or access, such as an implementation of a smartcard, PCMCIA, Cardbus, or PCI that has standard sockets or otherwise readily facilitates end user access. A “user accessible bus” does not include memory buses, CPU buses, or similar portions of a device’s internal architecture that do not permit access to content in a form useable by end users. Clause 2.1(a) should be interpreted and applied so as to allow Adopter to design and manufacture its products to incorporate means, such as test points, used by Adopter or professionals to analyze or repair products; but not to provide a pretext for inducing consumers to obtain ready and unobstructed access to internal analog connectors. Without limiting the foregoing, with respect to clause 2.1(a), an internal analog connector shall be presumed to not “readily facilitate end user access” if (i) such connector and the video signal formats or levels of signals provided to such connector, are of a type not generally compatible with the accessible connections on consumer products, (ii) such access would create a risk of product damage, or (iii) such access would result in physical evidence that such access had occurred and would void any product warranty.
2.2 Licensed Products that use Common Device Keys or are manufactured after December 31, 2006, shall be clearly designed such that when the video portion of uncompressed, Decrypted DT Data with a resolution greater than a Constrained Image is transmitted over a User Accessible Bus, such Decrypted DT Data are reasonably secure from unauthorized interception by using either Widely Available Tools or Specialized Tools, except with difficulty, other than Circumvention Devices. The level of difficulty applicable to Widely Available Tools is such that a typical consumer should not be able to use Widely Available Tools, with or without instructions, to i...
DATA PATHS. Decrypted AACS Content shall not be available on outputs other than those specified in the Compliance Rules.
DATA PATHS. Decrypted SVR Data shall not be available on outputs other than those specified in the Compliance Rules. Within a Licensed Product, the Decrypted SVR Data shall not be present on any user-accessible buses in analog or unencrypted, compressed form.
DATA PATHS. Decrypted HDCP Content shall not be available on outputs other than those specified in the Compliance Rules. Within a Display Device or Repeater, Decrypted HDCP Content shall not be present on any user-accessible buses in analog form or in unencrypted, compressed form. Adopter is cautioned that, when it is deemed technically feasible to do so, Licensor may revise these Robustness Rules to require that uncompressed Decrypted HDCP Content will be re-encrypted or otherwise protected before it is transmitted over such buses.
2.1 A “user accessible bus” means a data bus that is designed for end user upgrades or access such as an implementation of smartcard, PCMCIA, Cardbus or PCI that has standard sockets or otherwise readily facilitates end user access, but not memory buses, CPU buses, and similar portions of a device’s internal architecture.
