A scalable server for key distribution and its application to accounting

摘要

Media distribution over the Internet is a fact. Finding a way to protect content streaming is a hot topic. This paper presents both a new and efficient key multicasting protocol based on the use of orthogonal systems in vector spaces, and its scalable implementation by means of a platform independent server. The protocol outstands in exchanging a small number of tiny messages which helps the server to scale when facing a huge number of legitimate users.
