Description
Security is a major concern in an increasingly multimedia-defined universe where the Internet serves as an indispensable resource for
information and entertainment. Digital Rights Management (DRM) is the technology by which network systems protect and provide access
to critical and time-sensitive copyrighted material and/or personal information. This book equips savvy technology professionals and
their aspiring collegiate protégés with the latest technologies, strategies and methodologies needed to successfully thwart off those
who thrive on security holes and weaknesses.
Filled with sample application scenarios and algorithms, this book provides an in-depth
examination of present and future field technologies including encryption, authentication, copy control, tagging, tracing, conditional
access and media identification. The authors present a diversified blend of theory and practice and focus on the constantly changing
developments in multimedia applications thus providing an admirably comprehensive book.
Audience:
Computer software and hardware designers; multimedia engineers; industry researchers; graduate students
