Digital Rights Management for Content Distribution

Liu, Q., Safavi-Naini, R. and Sheppard, N.P.

    Transferring the traditional business model for selling digital goods linked to physical media to the online world leads to the need for a system to protect digital intellectual property. Digital Rights Management.(DRM) is a system to protect high-value digital assets and control the distribution and usage of those digital assets. This paper presents a review of the current state of DRM, focusing on security technologies, underlying legal implications and main obstacles to DRM deployment with the aim of providing a better understanding of what is currently happening to content management on a legal and technological basis and well prepared for grasping future prospects.
