Abstract: Video has become the primary channel for people to access information and engage in leisure and entertainment activities. Video service platforms have emerged to meet these demands and create significant profits. These platforms aggregate diverse videos and offer subscription services, aiming to provide convenient and personalized viewing experiences. To safeguard the copyright of video content against unauthorized access, these platforms employ digital rights management (DRM) technologies. However, the use of DRM faces significant security challenges due to the presence of malware or malicious users, which can compromise the decryption program running on user devices and lead to illegal video content distribution. This paper proposes a high-performance encryption scheme for video DRM protection. We establish the security of our proposed scheme through rigorous mathematical proof and analyze its effectiveness in the context of the video DRM scenario. Furthermore, the experimental results demonstrate that our scheme outperforms other schemes. Overall, our proposed scheme offers a promising solution to the security challenges faced by DRM technologies in protecting video content. Its efficiency, security, and resilience to various attacks make it a viable option for video service platforms seeking to enhance the security of their digital content.
