DRM is surprisingly security oriented, if you think about it,the premise of DRM is not trusting the user, which is more extreme than most security models (allow the user root/admin access to the OS is anithetical to not trusting the user).
- tedunangst 10y agoIt's funny. People get all excited about homomorphic encryption, which is basically DRM with a mathematical proof.
- StavrosK 10y agoBecause it works both ways. I can send my data to a server and have it do things to it without ever actually knowing it. You can't let me watch a video without letting me watch a video.
- vetinari 10y agoDRM is more about who has the keys, than security itself.
- rimantas 10y agoModern computer security is all about who has the keys.
- eeZah7Ux 10y agoJust like a steel door, when somebody else has the keys, you are not secure - you are imprisoned.
- digi_owl 10y agoMuch of the base terminology of DRM comes from the military, and it involves the generals "back home" being able to trust that a computer out in the field, containing sensitive data, will not allow non-authorized personnel, never mind the enemy, to access said data.
