A Scheme of Streaming Media Digital Rights Management in Cloud Conditions

Enhanced video-on-demand security in cloud computing against insider and outsider threats

“…Afterwards, a different key exchange algorithm will be applied that will not need to encrypt every session, significantly diminishing computational overhead. Li and Yang (2016) proposed a scheme to protect video content storage, distribution, and user privacy. More specifically, a digital rights management framework for VoD in the cloud is proposed.…”

“…Assuming a VoD provider wants to offer its services to 𝒮 = {s1, …, sn} trusted users. Protecting the multimedia files from users is beyond the goals of this study, and is usually resolved with digital rights management (DRM) (Ku and Chi, 2004;Li and Yang, 2016). VoD providers are assumed to have 𝒱 = {v1, …, vn} video files.…”

“…Several researchers have proposed solutions to assure security data hosted in the cloud from cloud providers (i.e., internal threats), such as Dawoud et al (2016), Wang et al (2014), Ko et al (2011), Balamurugan and Saravanan (2019), and Ünal (2019). As well, a few have also addressed protecting multimedia content in VoD/multimedia systems when hosted in an untrusted cloud environment, such as Li and Yang (2016), Stewart and Long (2016), He et al (2017) and Alqahtani and Sheldon (2019). Thus, the problem we are attempting to solve with this research is protecting multimedia contents from cloud providers and outsiders in cloud-based VoD systems.…”
