A Novel Approach towards EDRM System Design for Android Devices

Abstract

digital content services gain importance in the mobile world, this paper proposes Digital Rights Management implementation for android devices. EDRM (Enterprise Digital Rights Management) system provides a novel solution to control access to documents such as Microsoft word, PDF and images from unauthorized copying, modification, and re- distribution. The work protects personal digital content like photos, documents etc. This modeled design aims how security is been provided to mobile devices using password mechanism, hash function and encryption and it is been tested using 100 samples. The individualization, flexibility, efficiency and practicability issues will be assured. The implementation permits the mobile user to conduct a preview-before-download activity and the digital content provider will not suffer from unauthorized mobile users accessing digital content. Proposed system uses a two level security using a Universal Unique Identifier, which is hashed using the (Simple Hashing Algorithm) SHA algorithm, then that key is used for the encryption of the content in Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) algorithm. The parameters used to measure system performance are response-time and throughput and were found out to be 0.022-sec/request and 45.54 respectively. Thus the paper achieves better security and faster processing. General Terms EDRM, Android, DRM, Digital, Security, Encryption
