DESIGN AND PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF WEB-BASED DRM SYSTEM USING REAL-TIME FINGERPRINTS RECOGNITION MECHANISM

摘要

With the advent of information technology, it is only a rnmatter of time that more and more of digital transactions rnwill be made via the Internet. This increased popularity of rnthe digital transactions has required more efficient rnprotection schemes such as digital rights management rnsystem (DRM). DRM protects digital contents, returns rnprofits generated from the contents use to the digital rnrights providers (DRPs). And it also helps DRPs' gold rnrush into a new market. rn This paper introduces a model that contains DRM, rnand verification methods using applied one-way functional rnanalysis and fingerprinting which is characterized by its rnimmutability and individuality. This model is designed to rndistinguish clients from unauthorized users, so that only valid rnusers can have access to the digital contents. rnTo sort out unauthorized users, fingerprints recognition rnmechanism (FRM) is adopted, rather than conventional rnpasswords. The advantages of using FRM surpass the rnadvantages of using passwords. We hope FRM's reliable rnfeature will allow a better digital environment for contents rndesign, distribution and implementation.
