ARM7, ARM9, ARM11 and ARM TrustZone.

Why have you chosen to work with ARM?
Beep Science believes that ARM TrustZone is the future of mobile device security. No other technologies can provide DRM solutions with equivalent security using on-chip measures. Beep Science's benefit in working with ARM is to be a forerunner in utilizing TrustZone for advanced security solutions.

What one experience comes to mind during your initial work with ARM?
ARM invited Beep Science to port the Beep Science DRM Agent product into the Trust Zone to test and evaluate that the TrustZone environment is well suited to DRM as an application. After being provided with the relevant SDKs, Beep Science setout to move security sensitive operations inside the TrustZone's "trusted world". Overtime Beep Science assisted ARM to optimize the Trust Zone environment and successfully completed the task.
