Abstract
With the rapid achievement of internet technologies and digital multimedia, the strengthening of intellectual property rights remains an enormous challenge in digital right management (DRM). Toward the objective, the traditional DRM system relied on digital encryption and digital watermarking technology emphasizes much more on the encryption and decryption of digital property right than tracking digital property rights transaction and authorization, which is as important as encryption and decryption. To improve the situation, with the widely used blockchain and distributed ledgers technology (DLT) in a broad range of applications and different domains, this paper proposes a new DRM system named RCB (Rapid Consortium Blockchain)-DRM which has excellent ability to effectively trace the transaction of intellectual property matters and manage digital copyright with decentralization, tamper-proof, transparent digital date stored in master-slave rapid consortium blockchain. In the proposed master-slave rapid consortium blockchain, we adopt a new intelligent consensus mechanism (ICM) named PBS (Proof By System Nodes), improving the consensus efficiency, shortening the transaction confirmation time and improving the fault tolerance of the system, which can ensure the final consistency of each block and guarantee block generation stability without blockchain bifurcating.
