Securing Video Delivery to the Android Platform
Raimund K. Ege · DOAJ (DOAJ: Directory of Open Access Journals) · 2012
The Android smartphone platform has gained significant market share among mobile devices with high-speed network connectivity. In this paper we describe Oghma, which is an Android application to make multimedia data, i.e. video, easily accessible. It uses a peer-to-peer content delivery model to ensure efficient delivery to a large audience. However, the openness of delivery demands adaptive and robust management of intellectual property rights. In this paper we describe a framework and its implementation to address the central issues in content delivery: a scalable peerto- peer-based content delivery model, paired with a secure access control model that enables data providers to maintain control over their original content available. Our prototype implementation for the Android platform for mobile phones is described in detail.
