Security Model for a Shared Multimedia Archive

Abstract

Broadcasters and production houses are moving toward tape-less digital production environments for generating their multimedia content. Consequently, they are in need of a digital archive to store their new multimedia content. Ideally, this archive is closely integrated into the production environment, and enables its owners to share their content with others. In this paper, investigate the threats, associated with a shared digital multimedia archive and we describe a security model for such an archive In our approach of the model, we try to spread the security measures as wide as possible, such that single points of failure or compromise have a minimal impact on the security of the system.
