The EIP-116 High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection Control Path module provides the required technology for implementing all the secure access, cryptographic computations and cipher engine as defined in the HDCP 1.4 and 2.2 specifications. This module autonomously runs one or more HDCP stacks.. It provides all the cryptographic functions for authentication, key exchange, locality check and certificate verification. The EIP-116 hardware-based acceleration offers significant advantages above a software only implementation for timing critical and performance/power optimized cryptographic operations.
The module includes an interface to Non-Volatile / One-Time Programmable memory (NVM/OTP) for retrieving the device unique keys, which must be programmed as part of the manufacturing process.

Applications
- In a content protection system, the EIP-116s forms the hardware-based security boundary wherein all secure parameters and cryptographic computations are managed during all the HDCP protocol phases from authentication of the connected devices up to and including the generation of the key stream. The EIP-116s is defined for being used in source and sink devices or in a combination of both (bridge/repeater devices).
- The EIP-116s module can be integrated into Application Processors, Multimedia Processors, SOCs for Set top Boxes, Graphics Processors, etc. The EIP-116s provides AES-128 key stream generation for commonly used interfaces, such as USB, WiFi and Ethernet. This also adapts to newly introduced wireless and wired interfaces like WiGig, WirelessHD, WHDI, DiiVA, etc. Although some of these interfaces require an additional interface specific cipher engine.
