In this paper, we propose a new audio forensic marking system for protecting the copyright of the Internet-based music streaming services. In the proposed method, in order to guarantee the QoS of the streaming service, high speed, and generates a forensic mark inserted MP3 file. We make pre-marking process and generate a new forensic marked MP3 file, a combination of the pre-marked MP3 frame, the inserted user information. Experimental results show that the proposed method satisfactory results robustness and imperceptibility, and real-time properties. In addition, we were confirmed that the real-time embedding and detection from the streaming-based audio forensic marking system that has been implemented on the server/client is possible.

As a rapid development of electronic commerce transactions in these days, the security and private protection problems became more important matters under the electronic transaction base. Because electronic transaction using electronic documents be carried without direct person to person meeting, there can be the possibility to use other's identity illegally without notice, and very hard to verify authenticity of transaction as well. In addition, it is very hard to find out that the electronic documents on the process of submitting is forged documents or not, and also have much difficulty in maintaining transmitting secret. Therefore, to solve such problems on electronic commerce transactions and electronic documents, the digital signature and certification system with cryptography skill is inevitably necessary. As the wide use of digital signature together with beginning of digital government and financial transaction, not only the issuance of electronic certification, but certification market came to gradually expand. In Korea, after enacting digital signature act in 1999, the act contents were expanded to the wide range of contents complying with global standards from the end of 2001 to April, 2002, including the new clause of certification problems. And the act was put into operation now. Therefore, in this paper, we'd like to suggest development scheme through the investigation on electronic certification related problems, such as, concepts, procedures, service conditions here and abroad.

Several studies have shown that the trust is a significant barrier for realizing the potential of e-commerce. Trust is not only a short-term issue but also the most significant long-term barrier for realizing the potentials of e-commerce. Because digital contents which have been used in e-commerce are easy to be duplicated, the enforcement of digital copyright protection is an important issue. Watermarking is a technique for labeling digital pictures by hiding secret information in the image. In this paper, a discrete wavelet transform(DWT) based technique for embedding digital watermark into image is proposed. The performance of the proposed watermarking is robust to a variety of signal distortions, such as JPEG and image processing operations.

Recently, digital rights management (DRM) related researches are widely spreading with prosperity of IT industries. The DRM technology protects proprietor of copyright by preventing mischanneling and illegal copy. In this paper, we propose a new DRM model that has an enhanced and efficient protocol based on certificate using smart card. The proposed model overcomes weaknesses of WCDRM model and has following additional advantages: first, copy protection is enhanced by hiding user's specific information from attacker by storing the information within smart card; second, server load for contents encryption is reduced by making clear protocols among author, distributer, certificate authority, and users; third, offline user authentication is guaranteed by combining partial secret values in media players and smart card. Exposure of core information also is minimized by storing them in smart card. In addition, we show that the proposed system is more secure than WCDRM model by comparing various factors of anonymous attackers.

Nowadays, it is considered as an important task to protect digital contents from illegal use and reproduction. In many cases, there are secure servers to authenticate the allowed users and the user authentication process is performed by communication between the servers and users. However, if the number of users and contents are increased, the servers should treat a large amount of authentication loads and the authentication cost will be considerably increased. Moreover, this scheme is not adequate for some players in which only a limited function of communication is deployed. In order to solve this problem, this paper proposes an authentication method which can certificate both the digital contents and players, and prevent illegal reproduction without the certification server. The proposed scheme is secure in the replay attack, the man in the middle attack, and data substitution attack.

With the advance of multimedia technology, multimedia sharing among multiple devices has become the main issue. This allows users to expect the peer-to-peer distribution of unprotected and protected contents over public network. Inevitably, this situation has caused an incredible piracy activity and Web sites have begun to provide copyrighted A/V data for free. In order to, protect the contents from illegal attacks and distribution, digital right management (DRM) is required. In this paper, we present the minimal cost scrambling scheme for securing the copyrighted multimedia using the data encryption standard (DES) encryption technique. Experimental results indicate that the proposed scrambling techniques achieve a very good compromise between several desirable properties such as speed, security, and file size.

A proposed system can decrypt each contents block through a double buffer algorithm which can continually buffer contents by dividing a multimedia contents into some blocks and provides more improved method of encryption than existing system by being not capable of decrypting the whole multimedia contents if one key is exposed. Also, using digital signature and public encryption algorithm for mutual authentication between systems, this paper proposes the system which sends and encrypts symmetric keys for contents encryption through SOAP messages.

This paper proposes an asymmetric watermarking system using Public Key Infrastructure. The distinguishing characteristic of the proposed method connects between the two different techniques, cryptography technique and watermarking technique, by using the authentication technique. The connection between the two techniques are established based on the special qualities of each technique. Watermarks that are inserted into the digital contents consist of a digital signature described as an encrypted copyright information with the private key of a distributor or a copyright holder, and an authentication code. In the situation where the ownership of the digital contents has to be decided, authentication technique examines the data integrity of the digital contents based on an authentication and decides the ownership of the digital contents by examining whether it satisfies or not satisfies the integrity test. The formal case uses decryption method which compares the user defined copyright information, and the decrypted copyright information extracted from the watermark in the digital contents that are decrypted by distributors' public key The latter case determines the ownership by comparing the similarity between encrypted copyright information separated from the watermark that are extracted from the digital contents, and the user defined encrypted copyright information that are separated from the watermark The proposed method provides protection from the assault which attempts to identify or erase the encoding key.
