Abstract

The purpose of digital rights management (DRM) is to protect the copyrights of content providers and to enable only designated user to access digital contents. For a user to share the contents among all his devices in the home network, several domain-based approaches that group multiple devices into a domain have been proposed. In these approaches, however, each device in a domain has equivalent rights on all contents although certain contents require an access control between the devices. In this paper, a new DRM system for home networks is presented. This system enables access control on the contents by a right delegation strategy with proxy certificates. Moreover, it also provides additional functionalities, including restricted sharing and temporal sharing of contents, which are necessary for ordinary scenarios in home networks.
