The widespread use of the Internet has led to the problem of intellectual property and copyright infringement. Digital rights management (DRM) technologies have been developed to protect digital content items. Digital content can be classified into static content (for example, text or media files) and dynamic content (for example, VOD or multicast streams). This paper deals with the protection of a multicast stream on set-top boxes connected to an IP network. In this paper, we examine the following design and architectural issues to be considered when applying DRM functions to multicast streaming service environments: transparent streaming service and large-scale user environments. To address the transparency issue, we introduce a 'selective encryption scheme'. To address the second issue, a 'key packet insertion scheme' and 'hierarchical key management scheme' are introduced. Based on the above design and architecture, we developed a prototype of a multicasting DRM system. The analysis of our implementation shows that it supports transparent and scalable DRM multicasting service in a large-scale user environment.

With the increase of digital content usages, the protection for digital content and intellectual property becomes more important. The DRM(digital rights management) technologies are applicable to protect not only any kind of digital contents but also intellectual property. Besides such techniques are required for recorded digital broadcasting contents due to introduction of digital broadcasting techniques and storage devices such as personal video recorder. The conventional protection scheme for broadcasting content is the CAS(conditional access system) by which the access of viewer is controlled on the specific channels or programs. The CAS prohibits the viewer from delivering the digital broadcasting content to other person, so it results in restriction of superdistribution on the digital broadcasting content. In this paper, for broadcast targeting unspecfic many people, we will design the service model of the protection and distribution of digital broadcasting content using encryption and license by employing the concept of DRM. The results of implementation are also shown to verify some functions of each component. An implemented system of this paper has some advantages that the recording of broadcast content is allowed on set-top-box and superdistribution is available by consumer. Hence it provides content providers and consumers with trustworthy environment for content protection and distribution.

As power facilities are getting higher at capacity, the monitoring and diagnosis of generators for fault detection and protection has attracted intensive interest. In case of an after-fault in high capacity rotating machines, the recovering cost is usually very expensive and additional time is necessary for returning in a normal situation. In this paper, we developed the protection program for the generator fault protection system and each module of the digital protective relay H/W for loading the protection program. The protective relay H/W was designed to have EMC characteristics for prohibiting from fault operation in bad power systems.

The use of digital imaging technique and digital contents based on internet has grown rapidly for last several years, and the needs of digital image protection become more important. For the purpose of copyright protection on digital image, the verification of authentication techniques like content authentication, ownership authentication, illegal copy and etc are needed. Digital watermarking, the invisible encryption technique to insert digital watermark into image the sophisticated perceptual information should be used for providing transparency and robustness of images on watermarking process. In this paper, we implement the algorithm for preventing forged attack, ownership protection and authentication by transforming the wavelet algorithms in frequency domain in terms of human visual system.

The web-based technology allows anybody who has access to the Internet to get all kinds of information from the World Wide Web. It brings about issues regarding intellectual property and copyright threats. After content is downloaded, no further protection is provided on the content that has been accessed. DRM (Digital Right Management) technologies came out to ensure the protection of copyrighted content and information. In this paper, we propose architecture of license-based digital rights management system for protection of contents and principles' rights such as contents creators, providers, distributors, and uses in contents distribution value-chain over Internet. This system makes on-line processing of all value-chain from creator to purchaser possible, compared with existing DRM products only supporting only limited distribution between distributor and purchaser.

Current technologies on digital rights management (DRM) have focused on security and encryption as a means of solving the issue of unauthorized copying, that is, locking the content and limiting its distribution to only purchasers. But, illegal content copy should be protected not only from purchasers but also from other principals such as media distributors and content providers. In this paper, we designed and implemented end-to-end digital lights management system that can cover a content protection on the overall value-chains of content distribution. Proposed system provides content protection and secure management of digital rights in creator, provider, and distributor like in purchaser. Accordingly it can provide an environment protecting each principal's digital rights and prohibiting illegal usage of content.

The advance of communication and networking technology enables high bandwidth multimedia data transmission. The development of high performance compression technology such as H.264 also encourages high quality video and audio data transmission. The trend requires efficient protection system for digital media rights. We propose an efficient digital media protection system using elliptic curve cryptography. Only key parameters are encrypted to reduce the burden of complex encryption and decryption in the proposed system, and the digital media are not played back or the quality is degraded if the encrypted information is missing. We need a playback system with an ECC processor to implement the proposed system. We implement an H.264 decoding system with a configurable ECC processor to verify the proposed protection system We verify that the H.264 movie is not decoded without the decrypted information.

A large generator is an important role in transferring an electric power to power system. The IEDs of large generator often use microprocessor technology to obtain a digital relay system with a wide range of measuring, protection, control, monitoring, and communication functions. However, all generator protection and control systems in Korea imported from abroad and are being operated. In order to reduce the large expense and improve the reliable operation, development of generator protection and control system by domestic technology is required. This paper deals with the design of the IED of generator protection panel for development of generator protection and control system. The major emphasis of the paper will be on the description of hardware and signal processing test results and measurement accuracy of the prototype IED. By developing of generator IED based on DSP and microprocessor, replacement of the generator protection panel imports are expected to be effective.
