Due to the Internet open nature and the sensitivity of the data that those applications have to handle, it is important to ensure and assess their security. Financial institutions, such as banks, that nowadays use the WWW as a communication channel with their customers, ...

In the educational field, where exceptions to copyright law,“fair use” is the main doctrine these technologies are controversial and its application has to weight the complex and contradictory pros and cons of such solutions. In this paper, we present the most important issues concerning intellectual property and the factors that affect intellectual property rights in educational field. Also we present and ...

The Data Protection Act, Human Rights Act and other legislation require that privacy is respected. Beyond this, Government websites must be secure to build trust and maintain the reputation of electronic government. This will be seriously damaged if websites are defaced, services are unavailable or sensitive information is released to the wrong people. Securing a Web application is difficult, not only because of various technical departments coordination ...

The results of that kind of ability are an asset that should somehow, due to their nature, be recorded and protected. That protection can be enabled by the enforcement of the author&amp;amp;#x27;s rights, safeguarding its works. How can this protection be enforced in a digital World? Should we trust that nobody steals or circumvents intellectual or artistic property? Or should we think of possible ways to control and monitor that property&amp;amp;#x27;s usage? It seems ...

Using OMA DRM 2.0 Protected Content - Ogg Vorbis Protected Audio under Symbian OS

Digital Rights Management seems to be the solution to counter this problem advocating the use of cryptography and other related security mechanisms to protect digital content and to associate rights with it which determine how, when and by whom it can be consumed. The Open Mobile Alliance (OMA) specifies mobile service enablers in order to ensure interoperability throughout the mobile spectrum. As prominent mobile devices, Symbian OS smartphones offer an interesting platform for the demonstration of OMA DRM for the consumption of multimedia content. This article outlines the mechanisms enabling the protected consumption of the open and patent-free audio format (Ogg 2006), Ogg Vorbis using an OMA DRM 2.0 compliant audio player application running under Symbian mobile device OS.

Secure License Management - Management of Digital Object Licenses in a DRM Environment

Improving user content privacy on social networks using rights management systems

annals of telecommunications - annales des télécommunications, 2014

ABSTRACT Currently, millions and millions of users are using online social networks to share thei... more ABSTRACT Currently, millions and millions of users are using online social networks to share their thoughts, experiences and content with online friends. Documents, videos, music and pictures are shared online, relying on the privacy and security controls offered by the social network platforms, with little control from the end user. This creates serious privacy concerns, since the control over the content shared online on the social network is out of the hands of the user. In this paper, the authors propose an approach for content privacy shared on social networks that is user-centric and not based on the social network platform. In order to achieve that, an architecture based on a rights management platform capable of enforcing the necessary security and privacy mechanisms that extend the original controls provided by the social network platform will be presented. That way, users will be able to control their privacy settings and protect their own content, even when they are no longer part of the social network (suspending or deleting its account).

DIGIPIPE-a pipeline methodology for digital image production and protection

One of the most important challenges refers to the lack of production methodologies with strong interactions with the current state of the art digital content protection tools. This paper proposes a methodology, especially useful in the field of still digital images that interconnects a digital image production pipeline with coherent protection mechanisms building a framework for a digital rights management solution.

The purpose of copyright is to protect the interest of creators of intellectual property (IP) deriving revenue/award from their efforts, creating incentives to motivate the continuous production of new IP to their own benefit and the society benefit. Therefore any successful solution to protect the rights and interests of creators must uphold and enforce the fundamental principles of copyright laws. Creators, producers, editors, ...

Concurrently, major services in Universities, Health Care, and most Public entities are also following this trend. For 2011, the Portuguese government will take these measures even further in the scope of a technological upgrade plan for Portugal. This will make Web applications, more than ever, one of the most critical gateways for exchanging sensitive information within the country. It is also true that Portugal has ...

The work presented on this paper addresses the problem of indexing this large collection of free music. This is a very relevant problem because currently there are no integrated database or index ...
