Digital Rights Management work in the Open Mobile Aliance
Alexandre Stervinou

Open Mobile Alliance (OMA - http://www.openmobilealliance.com) specifications are the result of continuous work to define industry-wide interoperable mechanisms for developing applications and services that are deployed over wireless communication networks.

The scope of OMA Digital Rights Management (DRM) is to enable the distribution and consumption of digital content in a controlled manner. The content is distributed and consumed on authenticated Devices per the usage rights expressed by the content owners. OMA DRM work addresses the various technical aspects of this system by providing appropriate specifications for content formats, protocols, and a rights expression language.

The main purpose of this presentation is to give an introduction to OMA DRM v2.0 specifications, including cryptographic mechanisms and protocols developed and adopted by the Alliance to provide a secure framework for DRM.
