MODULE 8
DIGITAL RIGHTS MANAGEMENT, FROM RESEARCH TO IMPLEMENTATIONS (2 days)
Sept. 19 & 20 - Module designed and coordinated by Professor Ernesto Damiani, University of Milan
     
The module "Digital Rights Management - from research to implementations" focuses on Digital Rights Management technology and on Digital Rights Management systems for emerging ICT technology. Also, it will provide an overview of open research problems and ongoing developments in the Digital Rights Management field.

The module starts by providing a concise self-contained introduction to the encryption-related basis of technologies widely used in Digital Rights Management systems, as well as on their current evolution trends. Also, prerequisites will be covered enabling discussing aspects of the various technical disciplines that intersect to form the Digital Rights Management field.

The core of the module will be structured in three parts:
The introductory part of the module will address the traditional notion of Digital Rights Management as a content protection technology, discussing various content protection technologies and their support at the hardware, OS and application level.
The second part of the module will deal with state-of-the-art and ongoing evolution of rights expression models and languages, which will lead to a consideration of current Digital Rights Management architectures.
The last part of the module will provide a discussion of the perspectives of the Digital Rights Management technologies, discussing what hardware-based Digital Rights Management can do.
