Firstly, an Introduction section describes the transmission and reception infrastructures. Subsequently, results will be summarized in three sections: Simulcast, Monocast DRM and Monocast DRM Indoor Reception. The first study analyzes the quality of analogue and digital services in the multi-channel simulcast based on a set of static and mobile measurements. Also the potential interference betw...

We present a solution to the problem of content sharing in digital rights management (DRM) systems. Users in DRM systems purchase content from content providers and then wish to distribute it between their own devices or to other users. The goal is to allow the sharing of such content, with the control of the content provider, while ensuring that it complies with the content’s usage rules. Whil...

This editorial presumes that DRM patents are a public policy issue which at the end of the value chain has an impact on the consumer experience with protected digital content. After a brief general characterization of the "social invention" called patents, DRM patents are addressed and open questions are raised which deserve further analysis. Surprisingly even seemingly simple questions like th...

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...

Environmental issues related to greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions have pushed the development of new technologies that will allow economic production low-carbon energy vectors, such as hydrogen (H2), methane (CH4) and liquid fuels. Dry reforming (DRM) has gained increased attention since it uses CH4 carbon dioxide (CO2), which are two main (GHG), feedstock for syngas, is a mixture H2 monoxide (C...

In this editorial we announce two new INDICARE deliverables: the first INDICARE consumer survey on digital music and DRM, and the first update of the INDICARE State-of-theArt-Report. In this issue you will find, apart from announcing and presenting our new findings, three articles which continue the focus we started in April on DRM in the field of scientific publishing and libraries. In further...
