The die has been cast. I did not go across Rubicon. Nevertheless, this Sunday, I finalized one achievement: my first book. After more than two years of work, I have sent the final version of the manuscript to Springer.

The title is Securing Digital Video: Techniques for DRM and Content Protection. I give a detailed overview of the current landscape of content protection. If you’re interested to know how PlayReady, Fair Play, AACS, DTCP, or DVB-CPCM works, this book may be of interest. I consistently describe many systems. The book highlights the similarity of all these systems.

I will describe its content more in details later.

The book should be available this summer.
