Abstract

Content management and protection are important features of emerging home network technologies. In this paper, we present the design of Content Protection for Workplace Client Technology (CPWCT), a novel secure content management system. In CPWCT, devices in a home network are organized in a secure P2P cluster leveraging the xCP Cluster Protocol. Additionally, a P2P content management mechanism is implemented which includes lightweight secure streaming and RDF based capability-aware content indexing technologies. We show how this approach can significantly enhance the ability to dynamically self-reorganize the underlying topology and deploy context sensitive functionality.
