Security Model for a Shared Multimedia Archive

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 the authors describes a security model for such an archive In the approach of the model, the authors 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.
