Performance and Security Challenges Digital Rights Management (DRM) Approaches Using Fog Computing for Data Provenance: A Survey

Abstract

Over the past few years, the cloud based storage providers such as Google drive, OneDrive, Box and Dropbox are increasingly being used to store users personal profile based data, which users could share over cloud storage devices. Immediately, the users data leaves the user premises and enters the cloud storage, the user has lost all the control over its data, and even when that data is further shared for the purposes of collaboration. Digital rights management (DRM) for Content hosted in Cloud based storage covers technologies related devices that protects the digital assets stored in cloud by enforcing the permission regulator, and when the data is in collaboration. This is important to protect healthcare (Fiaz, M., et al., 2019. Social media news classification in healthcare communication.

Due to the distributed nature of cloud it is suitable for the real time data transportation. However, DRM process requires performance that is close to real time. This paper summarized the current state of the research in Digital Rights Management and leveraged Fog computing in DRM. This is to meet the new performance requirements for next-generation distribution networks, in terms of performance metrics, such as energy consumption, traffic delay, and network throughput, as required by in large and heterogonous Cloud solutions (Preethi, P. and Asokan, R., 2019.
