SYSTEM FOR PERSONAL IP BROADCASTING SERVICE WITH PERSONAL DRM AND METHOD USING THE SAME

摘要

A system for personal Internet protocol (IP) broadcasting to which a personal digital rights management (DRM) is applied, and a method thereof are provided. The system for personal IP broadcasting includes: a personal broadcasting transmission unit generating content, storing the content, applying personal DRM encryption to the content, and transmitting the content; a personal broadcasting reception unit receiving the transmitted content, DRM-decoding the content based on a personal DRM certificate corresponding to the content, and reproducing the content; a channel management unit allocating a channel through which the personal broadcasting transmission unit transmits broadcasting, then managing the channel, and transmitting information of a predetermined broadcasting transmission unit requested by the personal broadcasting reception unit; and an authentication server unit verifying validity of each of the personal broadcasting transmission unit and the personal broadcasting reception unit, and issuing and managing the personal DRM certificate. According to the system and method, DRM is applied to the content authored and broadcast by an individual person, thereby enabling the person to claim digital rights. Accordingly, illegal copying of the personal broadcasting content can be prevented and only authenticated users can use the service, thereby preventing broadcasting of inappropriate content or illegal use of the service by an unauthorized user.
