Abstract

The Advanced Access Content System (AACS) is the copy protection scheme for the new generation of high-definition DVD movies. Fundamentally,AACS is based on crypto-graphic principles. However, it has found a limited use for digital watermarking: first for playback control, and then, to a lesser extent,for forensics. This paper characterizes the forensic approach, and then describes AACS's "theatrical" and "consumer "watermarks and how they are used.
