Networked Media Device Security (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)
1/5/2010
You are responsible for maintaining the security of your device. Networked devices come with their own vulnerabilities and challenges. The following list contains some of these vulnerabilities and challenges:
- Always use secure coding techniques. For more information about Windows Embedded CE security services, see Enhancing the Security of a Device.
- Keep your system closed. Do not let third-party applications that are not part of the ROM image run on the system.
- Store Microsoft Windows Media DRM 10 Networked Device device private keys securely (using obfuscation or secure storage) on the device. They cannot be left as clear-text on the file system.
- Ensure your device does not contain any components that could provide external access from the network. These applications include Telnet server and FTP server.
- Use the D .bib file flag to prevent debuggers from attaching to your process when you load sensitive modules (like DRM) on the device. For more information, see MODULES Section.
- Limit the URL size for streaming media URLs to 260 characters or less. Streaming media URLs have a size limit of 260 characters.
