Introduction
Content Protection for broadcasters and multimedia delivery is highly important for protecting Intellectual property. This course examines the technical architecture of Digital Rights Management (DRM) systems used by broadcasters and for Internet delivered Multimedia Service in a practical engineering environment. It identifies the objectives and key techniques necessary for successful system implementation, examines the architectures used by the major commercial systems and compares the functions of each.
The course will examine the typical server functions that are responsible for providing the licenses to users and for serving the keys. It will compare and contrast the main DRM technologies (Microsoft PlayReady, Google Widevine, Apple FairPlay, Adobe Primetime, Marlin MS3) and identify which player platforms are supported. Practical implementation of DRM within players will be considered and the mechanisms for troubleshooting studied.
Duration
5 Days
Who Should Attend
