Abstract :
The increasingly sensitive nature of data shared over the Web calls for a new approach to cross-domain content protection. Towards addressing this need, in this paper we introduce a novel Java-based architecture for distributed content protection Java - based Distributed Content Protection (JUICE). JUiCE takes a policy-driven approach that strongly couples data and content protection policies. JUiCE constitutes an effective and practical solution for content protection for a number of reasons. First, both the CPPs and the protection mechanism travel with the content, which is stored in its original form. Second, users do not need to rely on any dedicated management system to specify and apply the CPPs. Further, CPPs do not require any additional cryptographic setup such as passwords or keys to be shared. Through evaluation, we show that our architecture is scalable while being robust against a range of attacks.
