Apple use their own system.

B&N use an Adobe system. They got Adobe to add a second authentication method for them, but as far as I know they still pay Adobe.

Eventually ebook readers should be able to read both B&N DRMed ePubs and the original Adobe DRMed ePubs. (i.e. authentication through ADE or by using a Name/number combination).
