What are the advantages of UDPi’s secure device communication in a closed system?
Once devices in the system are configured to operate in secure mode they can only communicate with the other devices in that system. This means that if a device that has been configured to operate in secure mode is taken out of the system it cannot communicate with any other compatible device. The main advantage to such a system is that it deters thieves from stealing components that are part of such a system since they would be unable to resell them as individual components. This technology can be applied to home entertainment systems, computer systems comprised of a number of peripherals, and other systems comprised of popular theft items.
