RSA Throws Its Hat into the OMA DRM Ring By DRM Watch Staff October 28, 2004 RSA Security announced a DRM solution for mobile content, BSAFE Mobile Rights Management, on Tuesday in conjunction with the Jupiter DRM Strategies conference in Los Angeles. BSAFE, which will be available in January 2005, supports the OMA DRM 2.0 standard and the ODRL 1.1 rights expression language. It is designed to integrate with RSA's server security software for identity, certificate, and access management.
Normally we would not be very excited about yet another OMA-compliant DRM technology for mobile content, but this one is significant for a couple of reasons. First, and most importantly, RSA has been a key (pun intended) contributor to the OMA DRM standards, so they have both proven expertise and strong relationships with the device makers and others that are implementing those standards.
Secondly, we had been wondering when one of the leading security infrastructure vendors -- such as RSA, Verisign, or Entrust -- would finally enter the DRM market. For vendors like those that are accustomed to selling products at the level of software libraries to other software developers, DRM represents a "vertical market solution" -- which requires fundamentally different sales and marketing approaches, and which is one among many possible vertical market solutions that a security technology company could investigate.
RSA's entry into the mobile content arena has broader implications for the trajectory of the OMA DRM standards. Because RSA's other products are standard features of corporate enterprise information security infrastructures, this could be a way for OMA DRM to find its way into corporate applications. Not all mobile content is for entertainment purposes; in the future, some will be strictly business. 10:20:48 AM |
