Enforcing Regional DRM for Multimedia Broadcasts With and Without Trusted Computing
نویسنده
چکیده
We present the problem of enforcing a Digital Rights Management (DRM) system that needs to consider location-dependent licensing policies and operates on top of existing conditional access standards. A major application for location-dependent DRM is Pay-TV broadcasting as rightsholders require different business models in different regions. A global provider’s enduser equipment needs to validate the user location in some way in order to enforce DRM in this scenario. We will depict several solutions to the problem and compare their security qualities. The main result is that trusted computing hardware may not be the most appropriate solution given reasonable conditions.

DRM, Trusted Computing and Operating System Architecture
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 کاملCombining DRM with Trusted Computing for Effective Information Access Management
In this paper we used Digital Rights Management (DRM) associated with Trusted Computing to enforce a contentspecific fine-grained access control policy defined by content owner. This policy is associated with content, and when content is copied its access control policy is copied and bound to the target copy. This paper presents a generic approach for content protection utilising both DRM and T...
