SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING CONTENT SECURITY IN UPNP SYSTEMS

摘要

A Content Directory Service (CDS) security service specifying, in a user friendly manner, which users of a media server or other UPnP device own which content. The security service also permits the owners of content to control who is permitted to read the content. A CDS account manager is used to define user accounts and associated rights, such as validity periods and default rights. The CDS account manager is used by a security console which owns the media server. A CDS content manager is used to manipulate the rights to objects. The CDS content manager is used by a registered security aware control point (i.e., a control point associated with a user account) and can be used to change read and write access lists on the object.
