Online distribution of movies, music, and other media is every so often
hailed as the Next Big Thing in the digital world. In order to prevent
uncontrolled copying, companies look towards digital rights management
(DRM). However, as evidenced in the past, DRM systems can and will be
broken. In this presentation, we first shortly discuss copyright law and its impact on the digital era. Then, we analyse drawbacks and security weaknesses inherent in DRM systems. Finally, we will highlight some examples of weaknesses being exploited in existing systems. |
Hugo Jonker is promovendus in security van informatiesystemen aan
de Technische Universiteit Eindhoven en de Universiteit van Luxembourg.
Zijn onderzoek richt zich op privacy van internetstemmen. De research-tijd
die overblijft, wordt in beslag genomen door security aspecten van DRM
systemen.
