Digital Rights Management (DRM)
DRM is a set of technologies used to control and protect digital content from unauthorized access,
copying, or modification. It is widely used in music, movies, e-books, software, and streaming
services to enforce copyright protection and ensure that only authorized users can access the
content.

Key Aspects of DRM
Encryption: Protects digital files from unauthorized access.
Access Control: Restricts how content is used (e.g., device limitations, time-based access).
License Management: Grants permissions based on purchase or subscription.
Watermarking: Embeds unique identifiers to trace piracy.

Why is DRM Important?
Protects intellectual property rights
Prevents piracy and unauthorized sharing
Ensures content creators and distributors receive fair compensation

Digital Rights Management & Trusted Computing
Challenges & Criticisms of DRM
User restrictions (limited device access, offline issues)
Compatibility issues (different DRM standards)
Hacking & bypassing DRM (cracks, illegal software)
Fair use concerns (impact on consumers rights)

What is Trusted Computing?
Trusted Computing refers to security technologies that ensure system integrity and protect data from
unauthorized modifications. It is implemented at the hardware level to prevent malware, hacking,
and system tampering.

Key Technologies in Trusted Computing
Trusted Platform Module (TPM): A secure chip that stores cryptographic keys.
Secure Boot: Ensures only trusted software runs at startup.
Remote Attestation: Verifies system integrity remotely.
Full Disk Encryption: Encrypts entire storage to protect sensitive data.

DRM & Trusted Computing: The Connection
Trusted Computing enhances DRM security by protecting encryption keys and ensuring that only
authorized software can access DRM-protected content. Together, they safeguard digital assets,
prevent piracy, and maintain system integrity.
