Digital Rights Management and Access Control in Multimedia Social Networks

The emerging multimedia social networks (MSN) services have significantly improved and enriched consumers’ experiences on multimedia digital contents, and further spurred the misuse and malicious dissemination of digital media (rights) among users. Thus, Digital Rights Management (DRM) issue is becoming more prominent. The theories and methods for security, trustworthiness, controllability of DRM systems available do not meet the needs of the novel Internet application, which is an urgent problem to solve. This paper analyzed traditional access control technologies and social network properties, and made a survey on related home and abroad research progresses on DRM security technologies, multimedia social networks access control and media contents copyrights protection. Finally, several main research directions were addressed on the key technologies of DRM, from three layers of cloud media services, media networks admission and user social networks, respectively, that is media content access control, media terminal trusted admission and media rights secure distribution.
