Ling Ma, Shouxun Liu, Yongbin Wang · 2010
The development of P2P technology has brought a significant revolution to Internet, which effectively improves data-sharing in networks. However, it also enables piracy products to spread quickly all over the networks. Therefore, it is urgent to design digital rights management (DRM) for P2P network. Recently, many DRM products for P2P have been investigated, but there are some disadvantages. A new DRM model based on proactive secret sharing scheme is proposed in this paper. This verifiable DRM model ensures the validation of sub-keys. The model enables the users to obtain the key effectively and utilize the advantage of P2P networks.
