Abstract:
Information stored or transmitted in digital format is the essential element that makes today's society function and evolve. Information security has always been a priority for producers and holders of information, even in analog format. Today, there are several technical solutions for encrypting digital information. This paper reviews these solutions and emphasizes the use of Digital Rights Management (DRM) to restrict access to multimedia files or digital services with customized access.
