A Review: Digital Rights Management Sustainable Development in e-Commerce

Strong encryption is an urgent need for e-commerce development, since it allows the privacy and secure transactions of the financial and other data. International regulations must support the spreading of e-commerce and the associated encryption techniques in order to establish a secure e-commerce environment that customers can trust and develop faith in international deployment of ecommerce solutions without restrictions. In the present paper, a pricing and license model for the fare use of the digital contents is proposed suitable for today’s digital environment. Protection by way of Digital Rights Management (DRM) systems is emerging as a natural solution because it remains in force wherever the content goes. In contrast, a file that sits on a server behind the server’s access control mechanism loses its protection once it is moved from the server. The meaning of the term “DRM” has been used so far in its most narrow sense and no longer reflects many of the recent developments in the technology used to manage copyrighted works in the digital age. The efforts made for a secure DRM approach for the secure content transactions over digital environment using latest technologies has been reviewed in the present paper to advocate finally for the most acceptable DRM architecture supporting audio, video, text, XML and other popular applications file formats to serve the dynamic needs of the market optimally.
