[0303] 3) E-book editing subsystem:
[0304] 4) E-book reading subsystem: Allows users to safely use e-books, including but not limited to reading e-books, adding notes, and sharing notes.
[0305] Example 2
[0306] The main difference between Example 2 and Example 1 lies in the implementation method of the biometric encryption subsystem within the data encryption system. Example 1 directly uses the user's biometric information to encrypt and decrypt the e-book data; while Example 2 first uses the user's biometric information to verify the user's identity, and then uses the user's member ID key to encrypt and decrypt the e-book data. In Example 2, biometric information is only used for identity verification and obtaining the member ID; the actual encryption and decryption are performed by the member ID key.
[0307] The encrypted e-book file in this embodiment mainly includes, but is not limited to, the following file fields:
[0308] 1) User Member ID: Required field, a hash value used to identify the user's unique ID;
[0309] 2) User Biometrics Type 1: Required field, indicating the type of biometric, such as fingerprint;
[0310] 3) User Biometrics 1: Required field, hash value of user biometric information (fingerprint);
[0311] 4) User Biometrics Type 2: Required field, indicating the type of biometric, such as facial recognition;
[0312] 5) User Biometrics 2: Required field, hash value of user biometric information (facial recognition);
[0313] 6) User biometric characteristics n types: Required field, indicating the type of biometric characteristic, such as voice;
[0314] 7) User biometrics n: Required field, hash value of user biometric information (voice);
[0315] 8) Encrypted eBook Data: Required field, eBook data encrypted using the user member ID key;
[0316] 9) Encryption Method: Required field, indicating the specific implementation method of the encryption based on biometric information used;
[0317] 10) Use of authorization certificate information: Includes some or all of the information in the use of authorization certificate;
[0318] 11) Key information for digital media: including creator information, ISBN, and publisher information;
[0319] 12) Activation Date and Time: Record the specific date and time of the first activation of the digital media;
[0320] 13) Notes: Includes any additional notes or comments added by the user.
[0321] The specific steps of the biometric encryption subsystem in generating encrypted e-book data are as follows:
[0322] 1) Step 1: Collect and process biometric information;
[0323] a) Step 1-1: Collect biometric information: Collect the user's biometric information through digital media devices;
[0324] b) Step 1-2: Preprocessing biometric information: The collected biometric information is preprocessed, including noise reduction, standardization and other steps, to ensure data quality and consistency;
[0325] 2) Step 2: Generate the encryption key;
[0326] a) Step 2-1: Obtain Member ID Key: Verify the user's identity through biometric information, obtain their member ID, and generate a unique member ID key for this platform; unique to this platform means that even if the member ID is known, no one other than the platform can generate the member ID key.
[0327] b) Step 2-2: Obtain the platform key: Generate or obtain the platform key;
[0328] c) Steps 2-3: Combine Member ID and Platform Key: Combine the Member ID key with the Platform Key to form a unique combined data;
[0329] d) Steps 2-4: Generate an encryption key: Process the combined data using a secure hash algorithm or HMAC algorithm to generate a unique encryption key;
[0330] 3) Step 3: Encrypt the eBook data;
[0331] a) Step 3-1: Select an encryption algorithm: Choose a symmetric encryption algorithm;
[0332] b) Step 3-2: Encrypt digital media: Use the generated encryption key to encrypt the e-book data to generate encrypted e-book data.
[0333] Furthermore, after generating the encrypted ebook data, an encrypted ebook file can be further generated. The specific steps are as follows: Create a new file, write the encrypted biometric information, the encrypted ebook data, and other necessary encrypted ebook file field data into this file, thereby generating the encrypted ebook file.
[0334] Specifically, the member ID key and platform key can be hidden in the encrypted e-book file and retrieved for use during decryption. This approach reduces the steps required to generate the member ID key and platform key during decryption, but the confidentiality is relatively poor.
[0335] Member ID keys can be generated in various ways, such as using a salted method. The specific steps are as follows:
[0336] Step 1: Generate a unique salt value for each member ID using a salting algorithm;
[0337] Step 2: Combine the member ID and salt value to create the member ID key;
[0338] The specific steps to decrypt the encrypted e-book data using the user member ID are as follows:
[0339] Step 1: Collect biometric information: Collect the user's biometric information and preprocess it;
[0340] Step 2: Identify biometric information: Generate a hash value for biometric information and compare it with the hash value for biometric information in the encrypted e-book data. If they match, continue decryption; if they do not match, terminate decryption.
[0341] Step 3: Obtain Member ID Key: Verify the user's identity through biometric information, obtain their member ID, and generate a unique member ID key for this platform;
[0342] Step 4: Obtain the platform key: Generate or obtain the platform key;
[0343] Step 5: Generate encryption key: Using the same method, combine the member ID key and the platform key to generate the encryption key again;
[0344] Step 6: Select decryption algorithm: Select the same symmetric encryption algorithm used for encryption;
[0345] Step 7: Decrypt the encrypted e-book data: Use the encryption key to decrypt the encrypted e-book data. Generally, you decrypt and use the data simultaneously.
[0346] There are multiple implementation methods for encryption technology based on biometric information. Example 1 illustrates a method of directly encrypting digital media data using the user's biometric information. Example 2 illustrates a method of first verifying the user's identity using their biometric information and then encrypting the digital media data using the user's member ID key. Both methods are based on biometric information.
[0347] The advantage of Example 2 is that users can verify their identity using different biometric information, then obtain a member ID, and use the member ID to encrypt and decrypt ebooks. When a certain biometric feature cannot be used, other biometric features can be used. The disadvantage is that it is not as secure as directly using biometric information to encrypt ebook data, because if the method for generating the member ID's salt value is cracked, the ebook data encrypted with the member ID will be decrypted.
[0348] This invention encrypts digital media to ensure that only authorized users can access and use it, and prevents unauthorized copying. Its digital media encryption technology is based on the user's biometric information. It uses the biometric information of authorized users to encrypt and decrypt the digital media, ensuring that only authorized users can decrypt and access the media content. This encryption technology is the most reliable, avoiding the problems of easily copied digital media that hinder effective promotion and distribution, and the inability to completely prevent copying even when distributed to authorized users, thus failing to effectively protect the rights of the original creators and related parties. It also avoids the drawback of needing to remember and store encryption keys.
[0349] However, as shown in Embodiments 1 and 2, specific encryption technologies are diverse and can be continuously optimized and expanded. By encrypting digital media, it is effectively ensured that only legitimate users can access and use the encrypted digital media, and unauthorized copying operations are prevented. Users can choose the appropriate technology based on their actual needs. This diversity not only increases flexibility and improves the user experience but also increases the difficulty of cracking the encryption, thereby enhancing its security.
[0350] In summary, this embodiment presents a full-chain digital media management platform and its business model for protecting digital media copyright and related rights. By encrypting digital media, this invention ensures that only legitimate users can access and use the encrypted digital media, and prevents unauthorized copying. The encryption technology of this invention uses the biometric information of legitimate users to encrypt and decrypt the digital media, ensuring that only legitimate users can decrypt and access the media content. This encryption technology is the most reliable and avoids the drawbacks of needing to remember and store encryption keys.
[0351] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and do not constitute any limitation on the present invention. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art to the technical solutions and content disclosed in the present invention without departing from the scope of the present invention shall be deemed to have remained within the protection scope of the present invention.
