The TV-Anytime Working
Group on Rights Management and Protection (RMP) is developing
standards to enable
the secure and flexible expression and enforcement of rights holders' usage
conditions for media distributed to personal digital
recorders.
Its fundamental goals include establishing means of securely enabling
consumer content usage models while providing standardized
interfaces to legacy conditional access and content protection systems. A broad
range of content protection and access features is required to serve the needs
of the full spectrum of content providers from public service broadcasters to
commercial entertainment distributors, and to enable the delivery of
value-added services throughout the distribution
chain.
The TV-Anytime RMP working group is comprised of international
participants from the content creation, programming, and distribution
communities, as well as from consumer electronics, advertising and information
technology companies.
The RMP
group's approach to standards development is modular.
By making reference to an abstract architecture, individual
standardized components are developed which can be applied
either in conjunction with other TV-Anytime RMP components,
or in conjunction with externally defined technologies so
long as implementation requirements are observed. In
this manner, the RMP group is able to specify and release
discrete security elements prior to the completion of an
entire set of TV-Anytime RMP components necessary to
realize an end-to-end system.
The current focus of the
group is on the specification of RMPI, or Rights Management
and Protection Information.
