Description
This book explains the fundamentals of digital rights management systems including identifying, tracking, authorizing and restricting access to digital media. You will learn how DRM systems help to protect and enforce copyrights, patents, trademarks, and other forms of intellectual property.
Digital assets can take various forms including audio, data and digital video. You will discover how it is possible to provide simple access to authorized users (paying customers) and how to restrict access to unauthorized users.
You will learn how DRM systems manage the storage of content, track the distribution of digital assets and ways DRM systems can take action to restrict and remove unauthorized materials.
Companies usually desire to allow distribution of digital assets through many digital distribution channels including CDs, DVDs, Internet and Mobile Telephone. DRM systems need to provide various types of access control for these systems.
Digital assets can be tracked based on their distribution addresses (IP address) and through unique identifying characteristics of the digital media such as the use of digital watermarks.
Basic encryption processes are described along with introduction on some of the ways to use and implement encryption. Common hacking and ripping methods are explained along with ways to reduce the risk of decoding and copying of digital media by unauthorized people. Some of the most important topics featured are:
• Fundamentals of DRM Systems
• Copyright, Patents, Trademarks and Intellectual Property
• Audio, Data and Video Digital Assets
• Digital Content Distribution
• Managing, Tracking and Restricting Digital assets
• Access Control and Key Management
• Tracking and Watermarks
• Data Coding and Encryption
• Common Hacking Methods
• Digital Content Distribution

Basic Authentication Process
This figure shows a typical authentication process used in a WLAN system. In this diagram, two wireless data terminals each share a secret key. When one of the devices wants to authenticate the other device (roles can also be reversed), it sends an authentication request and a random number. This random number is used by the receiving device and is processed with the secret key with an authentication (data processing) algorithm to produce a result. This result is sent to the originator. The originator uses the random number it sent along with its secret key to calculate a result. If the result received from the remote device with its own result matches, the authentication passes. Note that the secret key is not sent on the radio channel and that the result will change each time the random number changes.
Basic Encryption Process
This diagram shows the fundamental process used by encryption to modify data to an unrecognizable form. The letters in the original information in this example are shifted up by 1 letter (example - the letter I becomes the letter J). With this simple encryption, this example shows that the original information becomes unrecognizable by the typical viewer.
