Efficient Aggregate Licenses Validation in DRM
نویسندگان
چکیده
DRM systems involve multiple parties such as owner, distributors and consumers. The owner issues redistribution licenses to its distributors. Distributors in turn using their received redistribution licenses can issue new redistribution licenses to other distributors and usage licenses to consumers. For rights violation detection, all newly generated licenses must be validated against the redistribution license used to generate them. The validation becomes complex when there exist multiple redistribution licenses for a media. In such cases, it requires evaluation of an exponential number of validation equations with up to an exponential number of summation terms. To overcome this, we propose a prefix tree based method to do the validation efficiently. Experimental results show that our proposed method can reduce the validation time significantly.

An Algorithm for Allocating User Requests to Licenses in the OMA DRM System
The Open Mobile Alliance (OMA) Order of Rights Object Evaluation algorithm causes the loss of rights on contents under certain circumstances. By identifying the cases that cause this loss we suggest an algebraic characterization, as well as an ordering of OMA licenses. These allow us to redesign the algorithm so as to minimize the losses, in a way suitable for the low computational powers of mo...
متن کاملAnonymous Pairing-Free and Certificateless Key Exchange Protocol for DRM System
Mostly, current security architectures for Digital rights management (DRM) systems use either Public Key Cryptography (PKC) or Identity-based Public Key Cryptography (ID-PKC). However, PKC has a complex certificate management and ID-PKC has a key escrow problem. Certificateless Public Key Cryptography (CL-PKC) has some attractive properties which seem compatible with the requirements of DRM sys...

Robust technological enforcement of DRM licenses assumes that the prevention of direct access to the raw bit representation of decrypted digital content and the license enforcement mechanisms themselves is possible. This is difficult to achieve on an open computing platform such as a PC. Recent trusted computing initiatives namely, the Trusted Computing Group (TCG) specification, and Microsoft’...
متن کاملAn OWL Copyright Ontology for Semantic Digital Rights Management
Digitalisation and the Internet have caused a content reproduction and distribution revolution with clear implications for copyright management. There are many Digital Rights Management (DRM) efforts that facilitate copyright management in closed domains but they find great difficulties when they are forced to interoperate in an open domain like the World Wide Web. In order to facilitate intero...
متن کاملA License Audit Model for Secure DRM Systems in IP-based Environments
Communication devices aim to provide a multimedia service without spatial or temporal limitations in an IP-based environment. However, it is incapable of allowing for fair use by consumers who legally buy content, and damages provider contents through the indiscriminate distribution and use of illegal contents. The DRM system that emerged to solve this problem cannot protect licenses stored on ...
