Summary: The service requirements for the application of new generation video and audio technologies, along with new video service models coupled with a diverse range of consumer devices used for the reception of content, bring new demands and opportunities to the video industry, especially broadcast and television video services, and raise higher requirements on DRM, see [b-ITU-T J.1040]. The DRM system not only needs to have well defined security levels to meet the content protection requirements of different quality and different distribution window periods, but also needs to have sufficient platform compatibility to cover various terminal devices. In addition, higher encryption/decryption efficiency and encryption/decryption modes decoupled from content encapsulation are required to match the rapid development and transformation of video and audio technologies. In addition, an interoperability mechanism is required to achieve a more open DRM ecosystem. This [Draft New] Recommendation is part 4 of a multiparty deliverable composed of four parts. Part 4 describes compliance and robustness rules of digital rights management for video and audio content distribution (DRMVACD), including DRM server compliance and robustness rules, DRM client compliance and robustness rules, and best practice for DRM system implementation.
