Architectures and Technologies for Adapting Secured Content in Governed Multimedia Applications

Abstract

Abstract-The wide range of media and consumer devices, currently available, has raised new security requirements for multimedia systems and their applications. Despite the wide variety of work conducted on the access control, Digital Rights Management (DRM) and adaptation areas to date, there is a lack of initiatives addressing them together. This article analyzes existing initiatives and proposes new technologies for the governed adaptations of secured content in heterogeneous environments. These technologies are integrated in an architecture for the secure management of multimedia contents, which covers the complete digital content value chain, from creation to consumption by end users. Video Surveillance is the application scenario chosen for further illustrating the use of the proposed architecture. Two use cases are discussed in order to address governance, protection and adaptation requirements in surveillance applications.

Standards-Based Architectures for Content Management

“…MIPAMS encompasses an important part of the content value chain, from content creation and distribution to its consumption by final users, including adaptation of content. 5 Moreover, MIPAMS has proved to be useful in application scenarios apart from those related to management and distribution of multimedia content, such as social networks 6 and medical information management. 7 Table 1 summarizes the basic features of the different MIPAMS modules, and Figure 1 depicts the MIPAMS architecture.…”

User modeling and Web-based customazation techniques: An examination of the published literature

“…The work presented in [49] concerns three research fields: access control, Digital Rights Management (DRM) and adaptation. It proposes an architecture allowing secure management of multimedia contents from creation to 88 consumption by end users.…”

Secure Multimedia Content Distribution for M2M Communication

“…In other words, the media device should manage, control, process and render multimedia content before the content is transmitted from the device and presented to the M2M network. Therefore, if authorized consumers consume contents in M2M systems, the contents need to be adapted for meet the demand of users, multimedia content distribution systems have to provide functionalities for users' authentication [13]. However, there is no related works which resolved the secure content distribution in M2M communication environment.…”
