ChinaDRM has established a "three in one" management system for digital copyright trust management, DRM technology and product assessment, and DRM service certification through market-oriented mechanisms, strengthening the industrial deployment of DRM standards and building mutual trust in the audio-visual industry chain.

 

 

1.2 Introduction to Assessment and Service Certification

ChinaDRM Lab ensures that DRM technology products comply with the requirements of the DRM technology standards based on scientific evaluation methods and specialized evaluation platforms.

 

 

ChinaDRM Lab uses standardized and specialized methods to review, evaluate, and improve DRM services provided by audio‑visual service providers, ensuring the quality of DRM services; The certification information can be found on the website of the State Administration for Market Regulation or National Radio and Television Administration. All the certifications are optional to enterprises, and certified enterprises can benefit from copyright holders or meet ChinaDRM bidding requirements. 

Explanation: ChinaDRM Lab is a "Key Laboratory of Digital Media Content Protection Technology Research" approved by National Radio and Television Administration(NRTA) and established by Academy of Broadcasting Science(ABS)

 

 

1.3 Introduction of Trust Management

For the participants in the digital content distribution ecosystem chain, the DRM Trust Authority(DTA) signs CPA, SPA, CAA, and developer agreements with content providers, service providers, terminal manufacturers, and developers respectively, balancing the rights and responsibilities of all parties in the ecosystem chain and achieving mutual trust.

 

 

DTA provides ChinaDRM end-to-end digital certificate management for DRM servers and DRM client devices in the digital content distribution ecosystem chain , achieving trust between technical components and strengthening legal relationships among all parties in the ecosystem through technical means.

Explanation: Huanyu Trust (Beijing) Technology Co., Ltd. is the designated DRM Trust Authority(DTA) of ChinaDRM Forum. Please refer to http://www.trustdta.com/page156

Trust Management Service

CPA agreement signing and trust management services

CP

The distribution chain of audiovisual content runs through CP, SP, terminals, and consumers. When the security of each link is guaranteed, upstream can distribute content to downstream, ultimately achieving end-to-end content copyright protection. Each role shall sign a license agreement with Huanyu Trust, obtain the right to use DTA trust services, and commit to their security and compliance in business operations or product design. Through the cooperation agreement mechanism, the trust relationship between participants is established, avoiding the cost of signing separate agreements between participants and reducing the trust cost of the DRM ecosystem.

Service fees are charged annually, with CPA charging 150000 yuan per year and SPA/CAA charging 75000 yuan per year.
