REAL-TIME LICENSING MANAGEMENT OF SECURE MULTIMEDIA CONTENT DELIVERY

摘要

Media Commerce is now becoming a new trend which results from faster development of network bandwidth and high availability of multimedia technologies, how to protect media content from being used in a right-violated way is one of most important issues to take into account. In this paper, a novel and efficient authorization and authentication Digital Rights Management (DRM) schema is proposed firstly for secure multimedia delivery, then based on the schema, a real-time digital signature algorithm built on Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) is adopted for fast authentication and verification of licensing management, thus secure multimedia delivery via TCP/RTF can efficiently work with real-time transaction response and high Quality of Service (QoS) . Performance evaluations manifest the proposed schema is secure, available for real-time media stream authentication and authorization without much effected of QoS. The proposed schema is not only available for Client/Server media service but can be easily extended to P2P and broadcasting network for trusted rights management.
