Please remove my name or identifying information if forwarding this to
IP or elsewhere. I work closely enough to this industry to fear
repercussions.
Yes. This is one of the technologies used on the Pentium D:
http://www.intel.com/standards/case/case_dtcp.htm
It embeds a private key in each CPU. The key cannot be directly
extracted, only used for signature and decryption operations. The
idea is that your computer receives encrypted data from the set-top
box, and can route it to a variety of other targets---but it's always
encrypted when it leaves. So that might include other PCs in your
home, or a television, or a monitor, or a storage device. It even
works over IP, counting hops to ensure it doesn't leave your home.
There is a similar technology by Macrovision which appears to also be
supported.
So does it *contain* DRM? Well, if DRM is policy, no. Does it
contain content-protection technology? Absolutely. Does it contain
technology to help restrict you from using media you purchased in
accordance in fair and legal ways? Yes.
