It is easy to reproduce and manipulate the digital contents. It's difficult to distinguish the original contents with a pirate one. A digital signature scheme is used to protect the contents author's ownership and to provide secure contents distribution. Generally, the digital contents is completed with many authors' help. It's necessary to apply a cryptographic method for protecting co-authors' rights and interests. In this paper, the biometric based convertible undeniable multi-signature scheme is proposed. In the proposed scheme, keys are generated by using a signer's biometric data. Consigning the private key to another signer is infeasible. Signers must participate in signature generation and verification stages. Our scheme also provides signature conversion protocol in which the undeniable signature is converted to the ordinary one. For applications, we show how the proposed scheme is used to protect co-authors' rights and to distribute the contents securely.

Recently, digital rights management (DRM) related researches are widely spreading with prosperity of IT industries. The DRM technology protects proprietor of copyright by preventing mischanneling and illegal copy. In this paper, we propose a new DRM model that has an enhanced and efficient protocol based on certificate using smart card. The proposed model overcomes weaknesses of WCDRM model and has following additional advantages: first, copy protection is enhanced by hiding user's specific information from attacker by storing the information within smart card; second, server load for contents encryption is reduced by making clear protocols among author, distributer, certificate authority, and users; third, offline user authentication is guaranteed by combining partial secret values in media players and smart card. Exposure of core information also is minimized by storing them in smart card. In addition, we show that the proposed system is more secure than WCDRM model by comparing various factors of anonymous attackers.

This paper tries to solve the problems which previous methods have such as the WCDRM(Watermark and Cryptography DRM) and the model using smart card for protecting digital contents. This study provides a contents distribution model to protect the rights of author, distributor, and user as well as user's information by using technologies such as cryptography, DRM(Digital Right Management), access control, etc. The proposed system is evaluated as the most safety model compared with previous methods because it not only solves the problems which the previous methods have, but also protects four type of risks such as use of contents which other mobile devices download, the attack on the key to decode the message, the attack on leaking the contents, and the internal attack such as an illegal reproduction.

For the usage of the different standard technology among DRM vendors, the DRM technologies in today could not guarantee the interoperability between the digital contents and digital devices. While users have been guaranteed the protection of contents, they have to put up with the limitation and inconvenience. The Superdistribution methods that InterTrust has proposed is the content distribution technology which is possible to use the content only by the user authentication with the license regardless of the acquisition of the DRM contents. However, it need a additional license with re-authentication from DRM server when the original contents need to be moved to other devices from the own device. In this paper, to reduce the inconveniences of re-authentication and re-issue procedures of the license and continually to protect the rights of contents on the offline, we propose the DRM system that creates domain between home devices and enable users to freely transfer contents with the domain.

In ubiquitous environment, more small, lightweight, cheap and movable device is used than one device used in wired network environment. Multimedia service which is anytime, anywhere, is provided by device. However, it does not ensure the fair use of multimedia contents and causes damage to the contents providers because of illegal copy and distribution and indiscriminate use of digital contents. For solving this problems, DRM is applied to wired network but it has the problems does not protect stored license and manage license completely because of depending on simple protection such as device authentication and cryptographic algorithm. This paper proposes the license management model using digital forensic and DRM that prevents contents and licenses from distributing illegally and also enables the creation of evidence for legal countermeasure and the protection of license in whole life cycle.

최근에는 디지털 미디어 기술의 발달로 다양한 형태의 미디어 서비스가 개발되고 있으며 미디어 콘텐츠의 불법 복제를 방지하고 콘텐츠 제작자의 권리를 보호하기 위해 많은 DRM 기술이 개발되고 있다. 여러 개의 DRM을 사용하려면 DRM 서비스 제공 업체와 콘텐츠 제공 업체가 별도의 계약을 통해 상호 의존적인 방식으로 서비스를 제공해야한다는 제약이 있다. 본 논문에서는 클라우드 기반의 DRM 스토어를 제안한다. 이 시스템은 DRM 서비스 제공 업체가 여러 DRM을 쉽게 등록하고 콘텐츠 제공 업체는 자신의 서비스 특성에 따라 DRM을 필요한 만큼 사용할 수 있는 오픈 마켓 형식의 DRM 중계 서비스이다.

DRM(Digital Rights Management)은 디지털 컨텐츠의 저작권자 권리를 보호하고 인터넷상에서 안전한 거래를 보장하는 기술이다. DRM 기술에 있어서 암호 및 인증을 위한 서버 및 클라이언트 설계는 중요한 부분을 차지하여 SSL(Secure Socket Layer)은 늪은 안정성으로 인하여 네트워크 통신을 위한 프로토콜로 가장 많이 사용되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 DRM 유통 시스템에서 인증서를 기반으로 하는 SSL 보안 통신 메커니즘을 제안하고, 이를 기반으로 한 암호 및 인증 서버/클라이언트의 설계 및 구현에 관하여 기술한다. 본 논문에서 제안된 SSL보안 통신 메커니즘은 MS CryptoAPI를 사용하여 구현하였고, 인증서 기반의 보안이 필요한 다른 응용 프로그램 (Messenger. ftp)에도 쉽게 주용 시킬 수 있는 특징을 가진다.

There have been gradually established paid using system on contents, such as sound source, webtoon etc, with which licences are systematically managed. However, rampant free sites still mostly relying on advertising revenue make difficulties on lots of contents developers and obstruct the protection of their resonable right. In this situation, we need systematic measures to protect copyright of authors and to maximize use of contents of users. Therefore, it is important to handle the convenience of digital contents distribution and the diversity of contents license(differentiating permission rate according to user's purpose, scope, service period etc), based on the need of contents users. This paper implies to guideline to install contents distribution platform of individuals and to apprehend the need and acceptability of users in order to activate digital contents transaction on individuals.
