This agreement extends Xiaomi's relationship with Intertrust
Technologies Corporation, which owns WhiteCryption. Financial terms of
the deal were not announced.
WhiteCryption's technology offers integrated software code protection, integrity check and white-box cryptography solutions that turn modern software applications on various platforms into self-diagnostic and self-protecting software products.
WhiteCryption press statement though fails to address how or whether WhiteCryption will be used in China-based services. Chinese encryption law stipulates that code be made available to authorities for perusal. So the Xiaomi deal most likely affects ex-China services, and not those within the control of mainland Chinese authorities.
