Privacy - DRM : Data Protection by Copy Protection ?
نویسنده
چکیده
Protecting media contents and enforcing privacy policies seem to be related problems: mechanisms are needed to restrict data processing outside the copyright holder’s, respectively data subject’s, domain of control. A systematic analysis of requirements, properties, and experiences with digital rights management (DRM) reveals substantial differences between Content-DRM to protect media contents and Privacy-DRM to protect personal data. Under realistic adversary assumptions, these differences preclude that even if secure Content-DRM existed, it would still not fulfill all essential requirements for Privacy-DRM.
