Re: [saag] Pasi's AD notes for September 2008

[Thomas Hardjono <[e-mail]>]

Pasi, Tim,

Apologies for asking, but I was wondering about the proposed Content Rights Management (ie. DRM) BOF. More specifically, I was wondering if the IETF is now open to discussing such a "DRM standard".

Back in 2001, Mark Baugher and myself went through two (2) BOFs proposing the creation of an IETF open standards for a DRM protocol.  If my memory serves me right the presiding ADs was Steve Bellovin and Russ Housley. The specific protocol was called PERM, and the slides can be found here:
http://hardjono.net/idrm/

At that time the outcry against this effort was deafening. I was arguing that it was better for the IETF to own such a protocol and made it it "open" (ie. not proprietary and no need to sign consortium legal paperwork). Since that time there has been a plethora of DRM related products and standards (eg. Apple, MSFT RM, OMA-download, CableLabs, 5C, etc, etc). In a sense, the IETF missed the boat on this one.

Not that I'm unsupportive, but I was wondering what is motivating the IETF to propose such a BOF again at this time :)

Thanks.

Regards.
