Abstract
A method of processing media using a first software component and a second software component is described. In the method the first software component is operable to write data to a first buffer and the second software component is operable to read the data from the first buffer, the method comprising: processing the media using the first software component; determining a second buffer location, different to the first buffer location; storing the processed media in the second buffer location; generating an obfuscated handle, wherein the handle identifies the second buffer location; storing the obfuscated handle at the first buffer location; and resolving in the second software component the obfuscated handle using a resolving mechanism and in response to said resolution of the obfuscated handle, retrieving the processed media from the second buffer location identified by the handle.
