10. 1.Multimedia content
has been
prerecorded &
stored on a server.
2.Users request
audio/video file on
demand.
3.Interactivity is
allowed.

can lag tens of
seconds after
transmission.
Examples:
• Internet radio talk
show
• Live sporting event

15. 1.
Real-time data over
non-realtime network.
2.
High data rate over
limited network
bandwidth.
3.
Unpredictable
availability of network
bandwidth.
SOME
TECHNICAL
CHALLENGES
15
4.
Illegal access to
transmitted data in
networks.
5.
Malicious content
modification and
retransmission of
illegitimate copies.
6.
Reproduction of a
digital product.

16. HOW TO
PREVENT
Public or Secrete
key Cryptography
Original data are
encrypted by the
providers using a
private key.
The users can
decrypt the received
data
Authentication
Users should be
able to check the
originality of the
content of a digital
product.
Content verification
can be performed by
attaching digital
signatures to the
transmitted data
Copyright
Protection
Watermarks modify
slightly the digital
data to embed non-
