디지털 시네마 플랫폼 구축과 보안에 관한 연구

Film has been used widely since Auguste and Louis Lumiere hold the first private screening in 1895. Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones directed by George Lucas released on May 16, was the first motion picture both to be shot completely on a high definition digital 24-frame system and to be projected by digital projectors. Its success showed us that the digital cinema era is imminent. Digital Cinema will enable the studios and movie distributors to low the expenses of making and delivering film prints and dissemination of it can put the entire digital cinema ecosystem in great jeopardy. Therefore DRM and other security policies are used for digital cinema content protection. In this paper it will be discussed how the digital cinema platform can package (encooe & encrypt), transport, and project the digital cinema contents safely.
