DigiRight: Network of excellence for a framework for policy, privacy, security, trust and risk management for digital rights management

In today's digital world there is an enormous and increasing amount of digital content. In the future world of ambient intelligence, digital content will be ubiquitous and people will interact with it in all areas of their lives, a situation that presents new challenges in the area of Digital Rights Management (DRM). While valuable information products need protection from theft and prying eyes, access to information and the ability to contribute to information products and to share information within communities are also essential to all citizens of the information society. The needs for security and privacy are predominant in such situations. All of this is making DRM crucial. Therefore, we proposed to establish a Network of Excellence for a Framework for Policy, Privacy, Security, Trust and Risk Management for DRM, DigiRight, which will consist of experts from various disciplines and will conduct and guide on-going and future high quality research.
