Protected Entertainment Rights Management BOF (perm) Monday, August 2 at 1300-1500 ============================= CHAIRS: Mark Baugher (mbaugher@cisco.com) Thomas Hardjono (thardjono@verisign.com) AGENDA: (1) Agenda bashing (5 minutes) (2) Problem Statement/Scope Overview (30 mins) (3) Charter discussion (45 mins) (4) Open discussion (40 mins) DESCRIPTION: The primary purpose of this proposed working group is to develop the PERM protocol. The PERM protocol provides secure management of usage rights for digital entertainment content. PERM is not intended to replace existing television conditional access systems or device content protection mechanisms. Rather, it is intended to complement such systems by providing authenticated signaling of usage-rights for content works that have usage rights associated with them. PERM signaling operates across heterogeneous data networks, particularly home networks, and uses Internet standards where appropriate. The PERM Working Group will identify existing Internet standards-track documents suitable for supporting PERM signaling and security needs. This investigation will be documented in a "PERM Framework" Informational-track document. Following the framework document, one or more PERM specifications will be published as standards-track documents. It is entirely possible that the current PERM specification will be edited by the working group and published with modest changes. It is the task of the PERM working group, however, to ensure that the PERM protocol is integrity-protected, optionally private, and safe to use on both unicast and multicast networks. The PERM working group will ensure PERM compatibility with the authorization, credential, and public-key standards published by the IETF.
