It’s so frustrating to find out that all your effort, resources into planning, developing and publishing your content being easily copied or plagiarism by hackers.
we’ll discuss different ways to protect your digital content, ensure high availability, and maintain superior quality of experience for every digital visitor.
Digital Rights Management:-
Digital rights management is an approach to copyright protection for digital media content. It prevents unauthorized redistribution of digital media content and restricts the way users can copy content they have purchased.
If you are licensing the digital contents from third-party they may want to ensure that their content can’t be stolen and redistributed on the Web. Although digital content is protected by copyright laws, policing the web and technology focuses on making it impossible to steal your digital contents.
Encryption:-
Today’s websites do not contain just static text and images but are highly dynamic and personalized. They integrate with third-party services like Facebook and Twitter etc and can even be reshaped based on user history. Websites have become more dependent upon backend databases and enable high-end functions. Some of them store personal information such as names, addresses, emails, and credit card numbers. It should be protected, not just stored in a row of the database. It must be encrypted.
There are lots of programming from which you can encrypt your data. Using server-side scripting, for example, you can code part of your web pages to do the encrypting and decrypting on the go ensuring that data put into the database.
Obfuscation :-
There are many methods through which you can hide the location of your content but the best way to do that is to mask its location using a server-side script. The content location is clearly identifiable by scrapping it through the page using varieties of software.
The content location is obfuscated by referring the request to a server-side script that processes and returns the result directly to the browser without a visible URL. It is although simple in implementation and can help in protecting the location of your content from prying eyes.
Tokenization:-
It is the advanced version of obfuscation, refers to the process of substituting a sensitive data element with a non-sensitive equivalent that has no extrinsic or exploitable meaning or value. The token is a reference that maps back the sensitive data through a tokenization system.
In tokenization, the parameters on the URL are used to determine the authenticity of a request. If the request is not “authentic” i.e. doesn’t have a valid token, it denies the request and most often results in HTTP 401 error.
Watermarking:-
Watermarking is the process of hiding digital information in the contents like- images, videos, etc. A digital watermark is used to verify the authentication, integrity of the carrier signal or to show the owner of the content. The data content is run through a watermark embedder that takes metadata about the purchaser such as location, IP address, purchase date and time, etc. and inserts it into the video as a binary string that represents the data.
If a pirated copy of the content is found, the software can retrieve the binary string by analyzing the frames and decoding the pixels. Once reassembled, the binary string can be converted back into the metadata so that the identifying information can be retrieved.
Conclusion:-
Securing your digital content is ensuring the best possible user experience. you must approach security in a layered manner, employing multiple means and techniques to protect the digital content through which users interact in order to build a highly-customized defensive strategy against the attack that is permeating the digital world.
