Problems solved by technology

However, when several users' devices are controlled by different DRM systems, if a user wants to reproduce purchased content in two or more devices, the user must purchase separate rights objects for each device that will reproduce the content
Additionally, content transfer between devices will be restricted if the DRM system controlling the device is not compatible

Abstract

A method and apparatus for generating a proxy signature on a right object, and a method and apparatus for issuing a proxy signature certificate. The right object proxy signature method includes receiving a proxy signature certificate in which authority for right object conversion is specified, from a right issuer; receiving a right object from a first apparatus; signing the right object; and transmitting the signed right object and the proxy signature certificate to a second apparatus. Accordingly, by allowing a right object to be signed by a third right object proxy signature apparatus, not by a right issuer, users can freely share their own content between a variety of apparatuses, and the right issuer can reduce the load associated with the conversion and signature of right objects.

Description

[0001] This application claims the benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 2006-119136 filed with the Korean Intellectual Property Office on Nov. 29, 2006, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference. technical field [0002] Aspects of the present invention relate to an apparatus and method for allowing devices using a digital rights management (DRM) system to share a rights object, and more particularly, the present invention relates to an apparatus and method in which when a second device attempts to use a When the content in the first device is used, the copyright object agent signature device is allowed to replace the copyright issuer who manages the rights object of the second device to convert the rights object of the first device and generate a proxy signature on the rights object. The present invention also relates to a A method and apparatus for allowing a proxy issuer to issue proxy signing certificates. Background technique [0003] Digital right...
