Securing Video Delivery to the Android Platform
Raimund K. Ege
The Android smartphone platform has gained significant
market share among mobile devices with high-speed network
connectivity. In this paper we describe Oghma, which is an

model to ensure efficient delivery to a large audience.
However, the openness of delivery demands adaptive and
robust management of intellectual property rights. In this
paper we describe a framework and its implementation to
address the central issues in content delivery: a scalable peerto-
peer-based content delivery model, paired with a secure
access control model that enables data providers to maintain
control over their original content available. Our prototype
implementation for the Android platform for mobile phones
is described in detail. Full Text
