On mobile media rights management

Over the last three years, mobile handsets have evolved from voice based services to multimedia terminals that is gradually leading towards a new era of consumer entertainment fostered by mobile communications and consumer networks. The need for Mobile Digital Rights Management (MDRM) solutions is thus intensified in order to safeguard mobile media content. Various types of content protection solutions have been proposed. In this paper, we investigate current status, the standardization effort, and the challenges in the development of MDRM technologies. Sample state-of-the-art media security technologies for MDRM are also discussed.
