eBooks
basically deals with the technology of DRM (Digital Rights Management), where
an asset of the Author, a book, when published in digital form, is to be protected
from Copyright infringements, using existing rights management protocols and taking
into account various restrictions, such that the Customer has easy enough access
for the same. The protocol used for the same was Electronic Book eXchange (EBX)
protocol and restrictions include the export control restrictions for maximum allowed
key length of 128 bits.
As part of the research project our Techarts have the experience of doing an initial
analysis of the eBook technology and study of the EBX protocol. The project further
involved implementing a prototype for eBooks strategy which worked both on the Pocket
PC and Palm OS handheld devices.
In addition, during the course of implementing eBooks strategy our Techarts also
filed papers for 3 patents with a US based Company related to eBook Technology. The
patents for eBook strategy included
-
Use ROM serial number of the Palm device for uniquely identifying the device.
-
The ability to transfer the ROM serial number of the device from the Hand-Held side
to the Desktop during the synchronization process on the Palm Device.
-
The workflow of creating an identity of a Hand-Held device using the users Desktop
machine’s credentials and then using that identity to encrypt the digital contents
of the book, in general for both Pocket PC and Palm devices.
Based on these expertise of our Techarts in the field of eBooks & Security (DRM),
we can offer you a whole range or a subset of such product development expertise
at Anurakti Solutions.
