Appendix A: DRM
Digital Rights Management
Digital Rights Management (DRM) is a method of protecting content from illegal distribution by embedding the content into an encrypted package along with rules dictating its use. Using a set of keys and a license for the specific file, a DRM application is required to decrypt the content for playback. The DRM application will be transparent to the user except for the cases where the user acquires a file without a proper license. Applications that will interact with DRM encoded files include the following:
•Media Center
•MMS
•Browser
•KJava
•Address Book
•Drawing Pad
•Camera
•Recorder
•File Manager
•Phone (calling)
•Power Up/Down Animation
•Wallpaper
