Securing IMF
The Interoperable Media Format (IMF) may become the preferred method for Business to Business distribution of content. Unfortunately, it lacks some useful features such as security. Secure IMF (sIMF) is an add-on to IMF that solves this issue without modifying the current IMF specifications. The proposed key management allows a content provider to use the same IMF package for all its licensees without compromising security and traceability. An optional watermarking module serializes the decrypted package uniquely for each recipient. Thus, sIMF would reduce the preparation and distribution costs while boosting the security.
