LibVA Protected Content API The Protected content APIs provide a generic mechanism for protected session management with various assets in system such as Trusted Execution Environment(TEE), GPU, Display. The protected session management includes create, destroy, attach/detach, and execute according to contract with TEE, GPU, and Display. The behavior of protected session APIs depend on parameterization/configuration of protected sessions according to usage cases such as TEE Communication Tools, Hardware Digital Rights Management(HWDRM) etc. The Protected Content APIs play following roles - In TEE Communication Tools, the APIs manifest as TEE client to honor TEE contract; In HWDRM, APIs manifest as TEE/GPU/Display client to honor HWDRM contract. The Protected Content APIs execute following workloads - In TEE Communication Tools, the APIs provide infrastructure to execute TEE workloads such as TEE capability discovery, versioning, provisioning etc.; In HWDRM, the APIs provide infrastructure to execute HWDRM playback workloads such as license acquisition, HW acceleration e.g. decryption/decoding of protected video/audio contents, protected content display etc. Signed-off-by: Gaurav Kumar <kumar.gaurav@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Ryan T Huang <ryan.t.huang@intel.com>
Libva is an implementation for VA-API (Video Acceleration API)
VA-API is an open-source library and API specification, which provides access to graphics hardware acceleration capabilities for video processing. It consists of a main library and driver-specific acceleration backends for each supported hardware vendor.
