Re: DRM in QuickTime



I wonder....
What are the downsides of dynamically fusing a DRM track with the requested movie on the server side ?


In this scenario, every movie request dynamically generates movie containing the movie you want, and the DRM.
As an added security measure, the DRM and movies files are located outside the web folder and fread into QT.
And, everything is encrypted.


I am doing this, as a test, on my Linux server :)
This 'test' example fuses a DRM movie with a playlist of movies on the server side.
Enter anything into the 'enter password' field...and the DRM will go away.

Is this reasonable easy to hack ?
In lieu of a component, would this be the next best thing ?

I think there was some discussion a couple of weeks ago on the subject in the archives but the short answer is there is no robust integrated solution like you see with Windows Media (used simply for illustration, not saying it is the solution but it is an attempt at one). I think that is one area where Apple should do more work to help increase adoption of QT in new markets. Designing solutions for DRM leveraging QT is an option using DataHandlers but it's harder to assert the security of DRM at that point because there is no "standard" DRM integrated into the player, broadcaster/ streaming server. When you start talking about real protection, integration down to the OS level is important to keep people from injecting things into an external API used for DRM, NOOP calls, etc. In my field integrity, confidentiality, and non-repudiation of content is important and using a format which brings that to the table in the form of robust DRM to handle those things as well as revocation and other features makes it a much easier sell to my customers.

Hi all,

we are looking for DRM solution that could be used for QuickTime movies (H.264/MPEG4 encoded).
I searched all known sources on internet and I couldn't find any tested/working
system I could use to apply DRM on QT movie files we want to make public on internet
but with this kind of protection.
Does anybody know something that could be used ?


Thank you.

Peter
