Smernice za medobratovalnost naprav, povezanih v domače omrežje po Standardu za hišna digitalna omrežja (DLNA) - 3. del: Zaščita povezav (IEC 62481-3:2010)
Ta del IEC 62481 določa smernice za zaščito povezave DLNA, ki so razširitev smernic DLNA. Zaščita povezave DLNA je določena kot zaščita toka vsebine med dvema napravama na omrežju DLNA pred nezakonitim opazovanjem ali prestregom z uporabo protokolov, ki so definirani v tem standardu. Zaščita vsebine je pomemben mehanizem za zagotovitev, da je komercialna vsebina zaščitena pred piratstvom in nezakonito redistribucijo. Zaščita povezave je tehnika, ki omogoča distribucijo zaščitene komercialne vsebine na domačem omrežju in s tem posledično večjo potrošniško prožnost, medtem ko še vedno ohranjajo pravice lastnikov avtorskih pravic in ponudnikov vsebine. Smernice v tem standardu se sklicujejo na obstoječe tehnologije za zaščito povezav in zagotavljajo mehanizme za medobratovalnost med različnimi implementacijami in integracijo z arhitekturo DLNA. Ta standard je urejen tako, da se sklada s celotno strukturo IEC 62481-1 in IEC 62481-2.

FOREWORD 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations. 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all interested IEC National Committees. 3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any misinterpretation by any end user. 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter. 5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any services carried out by independent certification bodies. 6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication. 7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC Publications. 8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is indispensable for the correct application of this publication. 9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. International Standard IEC 62481-3 has been prepared by technical area 9: Audio, video and multimedia applications for end-user network, of IEC technical committee 100: Audio, video and multimedia systems and equipment. The text of this standard is based on the following documents: CDV Report on voting 100/1617/CDV 100/1739/RVC

Part 3: Link protection
1 Scope This part of IEC 62481 specifies the DLNA link protection guidelines, which are an extension of the DLNA guidelines. DLNA link protection is defined as the protection of a content stream between two devices on a DLNA network from illegitimate observation or interception using the protocols defined within this standard. Content protection is an important mechanism for ensuring that commercial content is protected from piracy and illegitimate redistribution. Link protection is a technique that enables distribution of protected commercial content on a home network, thus resulting in greater consumer flexibility while still preserving the rights of copyright holders and content providers. The guidelines in this standard reference existing technologies for link protection and provide mechanisms for interoperability between different implementations as well as integration with the DLNA architecture. This standard is organized to align with the overall structure of IEC 62481-1 and IEC 62481-2. 2 Normative reference The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

62481-3 Ó IEC:2010(E) – 13 – UCDAM Uniform Content Data Availability Model UPnP Universal Plug and Play W3C World Wide Web Consortium 4 DLNA home network architecture Refer to IEC 62481-1, Clause 4 for detailed descriptions of the DLNA home networking architecture. 5 DLNA device model Refer to IEC 62481-1, Clause 5 for detailed descriptions of the DLNA home networking architecture. This standard extends the existing DLNA devices and system usages to include link protected content used for the following: · 2 box pull system usage; · 2 box push system usage; · 3 box system usage; for the transfer and rendering of content items. These are the only system usages that are currently in scope for the use of DLNA link protection. 6 Guideline terminology and conventions 6.1 Guideline compliance classifiers Reference [9]1 provides a description of terminology conventions used in all IETF RFC documents. The terminology and conventions used by the DLNA home networked device interoperability guidelines are adapted from this reference. The details of each guideline will carry a compliance classifier from the following set. [M]ust, Required, Shall: This is the minimum set of requirements that will ensure interoperability and/or robust operation between devices. All devices are expected to comply with these requirements when expressed in unconditional form. A conditional requirement expressed in the form, "If X, then Y shall be implemented", means that the requirement "Y" shall be met when the conditional aspect "X" applies to a given implementation. [S]hould, Recommended: Recommended items are optional items that are strongly recommended for inclusion in products. The difference between "recommended" items and "optional" items, see below, is one of priority. When considering features for inclusion in a product, recommended items should be included first. [O]ptional, May: Optional items are suggestions for features that will enhance the user experience or are offered as a less preferred choice relative to another recommended feature. If optional features are included, they shall comply with the requirement to ensure interoperability with other implementations. 6.2 Standard of specification usage classifiers When specifying guideline details, it is often useful to reiterate or clarify certain aspects of a standard or specification that are often violated or misunderstood. Furthermore, there may be guideline requirements that intentionally contradict or restrict implementation of certain ___________ 1 Figures in square brackets refer to the Bibliography. SIST EN 62481-3:2011
– 14 – 62481-3 Ó IEC:2010(E) aspects of a standard or specification in order to ensure interoperability between DLNA devices. The following classifiers are used in the DLNA home networked device interoperability guidelines to indicate the relationship of a specific guideline requirement to a source standard or specification: [A]dding: A guideline requirement that adds to or supplements a standard or specification to enhance interoperability. A guideline requirement that does not reference a standard or specification also uses this classifier. [C]larifying: A guideline requirement that addresses vague or ambiguous aspects of a standard or specification. [F]ixing: A guideline requirement that intentionally supersedes and fixes aspects of a standard or specification that is incorrect and would otherwise provide a poor user experience or prevent device interoperability. [L]imiting: A guideline requirement that narrows or specifies an exact behavior in areas where a standard or specification provides for greater degrees of latitude in implementation. [R]epeating: A guideline requirement that repeats what is already in a standard or specification because of observed and repeated problems with implementations. Whenever a guideline requirement with this usage classifier seems to be in conflict with the actual standard, the standard prevails over the guideline requirement. 6.3 Guideline font usage conventions The following font usage conventions are used within the DLNA home networked device interoperability guidelines to provide additional clarity. · Hyperlinks to reference citations are indicated as [number]. For example [1], [20], … · HTTP headers and methods are always in bold font, such as CACHE-CONTROL. · UPnP action names are indicated as: [Service acronym]:[action name], such as CDS: Browse. · Special terms may be italicized. Sometimes a guideline requirement will define a term for use within that guideline and the term will be italicized. 6.4 Guideline syntax notation convention The following are syntax (BNF) notation conventions used within the DLNA home networked device interoperability guidelines to provide readability. · Linear whitespace (LWS) characters, such as carriage returns, spaces, tabs, or line feeds, are not implied anywhere in any of the syntax (BNF) definitions used within the interoperability guidelines. · The use of LWS characters is restricted within the DLNA interoperability guideline unless explicitly specified in any of the syntax definitions with reference to UPnP HTTP communications. · By default, text tokens and values have a case-sensitive treatment unless explicitly noted in the guidelines. This convention also applies to BNF definitions, XML tag names, XML tag values, capability IDs, and HTTP header values for HTTP headers used by the DLNA guidelines. One of the exceptions to this rule applies to the names of HTTP headers. HTTP header names have a case-insensitive treatment. For example TimeSeekRange.dlna.org is the same as timeseekrange.dlna.org. (See IEC 62481-1, 7.5.5.2.6). Other exceptions are described in each guideline which define BNF syntax. SIST EN 62481-3:2011
62481-3 Ó IEC:2010(E) – 15 – 6.5 Guideline normative and informative text conventions All text that appears in the DLNA interoperability guidelines is to be considered normative unless explicitly stated otherwise, such as informative references and informative appendices. Normative text includes introductory text before guideline requirement tables, but testable requirements are only contained within guideline requirement table entries. 6.6 DLNA XML namespaces and schemas The DLNA interoperability guidelines make numerous references to XML elements and attributes that are defined for DLNA device classes and device capabilities. However, these namespaces are intentionally not defined through a formal DLNA XML schema. This allows the DLNA interoperability guidelines to define new XML elements and attributes in the future, without having to define a new namespace or schema definition. DLNA devices classes and device capabilities are expected to exhibit tolerant behavior when encountering XML elements or attributes that are defined in the future, as required by existing IEC 62481-1, 7.3.24 and 7.4.1.3.1. Table 1 lists the namespace values that are used by DLNA guidelines and the context for their usage. Table 1 – DLNA namespace values Namespace value Usage context urn:schemas-dlna-org:device-1-0 Used for XML elements and attributes defined by DLNA interoperability guidelines for use in UPnP device description files. urn:schemas-dlna-org:metadata-1-0/ Used for XML elements and attributes defined by DLNA interoperability guidelines for use in DIDL-Lite documents and fragments.
7 Common link protection guidelines 7.1 General This subclause contains the guidelines that are independent of the underlying link protection system. Subclauses 7.3 through 7.8 relate to the corresponding Subclauses 7.2 to 7.7 in IEC 62481-1. Subclause 7.9 contains information not related to that part and should be read first to provide context for 7.3 through 7.8. These guidelines are in a clause/subclause format as shown in Figure 1.
