The new TrustedFlash cards will function as normal mass storage cards. However, the SD cards with capacity of up to several gigabytes of data containing movies, music or games would be protected with digital rights management (DRM) software.

The company hopes to convince entertainment companies to sell their content preloaded on the cards, or make it available for secure Internet downloads straight onto the cards.

The cards can also contain media and game playing software, which make it possible to play content on devices that were not originally designed for those services, though devices must be compatible with the TrustedFlash cards.

The new type of storage media is designed to support electronic commerce and enable mobile phones to perform secure financial transactions.
