Abstract
Description
The present invention relates to an apparatus and a method for modifying a license corresponding to content encrypted by a DRM method, and more particularly, to a DRM method for transferring a license corresponding to content encrypted by a DRM method to another person, The present invention relates to an apparatus and a method for modifying a license corresponding to content encrypted with a license.
As computer technology has developed and popularized, the contents of general commerce (books, comics, recordings, movies, broadcasts, newspapers, etc.), which are produced, stored and managed in analog form, are becoming digitized.
It is easy to modify and copy (persistent high quality), easy to copy and modify even though it is used repeatedly indefinitely, and it is possible to transmit and distribute even a large amount of works in a short time using a high speed communication network The digital characteristics and advantages of easy to transfer and distribute are digitizing the analog form of work quickly.
However, the merits of such digital contents are also a factor that infringes on the rights and interests of original authors. Because it is the same as the original even if it has a copy, it weakens the intention to purchase the original, and because it is easy to modify and copy without the author's consent, the copyright theft becomes easy and the ease of delivery and distribution is illegal. It is possible to make even legal control impossible.
These negative factors can reduce the morale of the authors, reduce the willingness to make the works, and even cause the digitalization to hesitate. Therefore, there is a need for a technical protection device capable of efficiently managing copyright while fully utilizing the advantages of digital for digital contents.
In order to protect the interests and rights of digital contents, DRM (Digital Rights Management) technology has been applied to digital contents and various DRM methods have been used.
Here, the DRM is a right of each subject (content creator, distributor, distributor, user, copyright holder, etc.) participating in the lifecycle of digital contents (i.e., creation, processing, distribution and consumption of contents) And protects profits, and supports a series of technologies that support billing and payment processing for digital content usage.
Accordingly, the server for providing the digital contents using the DRM scheme encrypts and transmits the digital contents, and the license management server transmits the license to the legitimate user so that the legitimate user can reproduce and output the digital contents. Here, the license includes a digital content encryption key used for decrypting the digital content and digital content use right information, which is information about digital content use.
On the other hand, conventionally, there has been no provision for activating transfer / transfer of the above-mentioned license to another person or transfer of the license from another person. For example, when DRM-based content is distributed from a primary user to a secondary user (DRM Super-Distribution), the secondary user issues a license for the content in order to issue a license corresponding to the distributed content I was able to get a license only from the pre-designated license management server that issued it.
In other words, conventionally, there has not been proposed a method of modifying an existing license so that it can be transferred to another person or transferred from another person. Accordingly, a license transfer server or another license management server that performs a function of a used license transaction market, But it did not provide a way to do it.
It is an object of the present invention to provide an apparatus and a method for generating a modified license by modifying a binding element for a license corresponding to content encrypted with a DRM method.
According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method of modifying a license corresponding to content encrypted with a DRM method of a license management server apparatus according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, 1 licenses, modifying a binding element binding the first license according to the received modification request to generate a new license, and transmitting the generated new license to the terminal device .
The binding element may be unique identification information of the terminal device or unique identification information of the user to the terminal device, and the modification request may include at least one of the first license, the content information corresponding to the first license, And may include a scope of modification of the permissions for the license.
The generating step generates a second license from which a binding element binding the first license is removed if the modification range is a range that removes all the usage rights for the first license, A third license having a binding element that removes some usage rights of the first license and binds the first license and a third license having a binding element that binds the first license to a part removed from the third license, It is possible to generate a fourth license having the use permission and the binding element removed.
According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a license management server apparatus for modifying a license corresponding to content encrypted with a DRM scheme, the apparatus comprising: A communication unit for receiving the modification request of the first license and a binding unit for binding the first license according to the received modification request to generate a new license and to transmit the generated new license to the terminal device And a control unit for controlling the communication unit.
The binding element may be unique identification information of the terminal device or unique identification information of the user to the terminal device, and the modification request may include at least one of the first license, the content information corresponding to the first license, And may include a scope of modification of the permissions for the license.
The control unit may generate a second license from which the binding element binding the first license is removed if the modification range is a range that removes all use rights to the first license, 1 license, a third license having a binding element that removes some of the usage rights of the first license and binds the first license, and a third license having a binding permission to bind some of the usage rights removed from the third license To generate a fourth license with the binding element removed.
According to various embodiments of the present invention described above, it is possible to remove the binding element from the modification requested license and generate a modified license that can be transferred to another person. Accordingly, the transaction of the license corresponding to the content encrypted by the DRM method can be activated.
