abstract = {DLNA can be considered as a good candidate for sharing user-generated contents among household networked consumer electronics. However, commercial content sharing requires a high degree of device protection that DLNA does not provides. We propose a solution supporting acquisition and post acquisition content protection by the integration of DLNA with DVB Conditional Access and DVB Content Protection & Copy Management. This article shows the design and implementation of a solution to improve commercial content management over DLNA.},

abstract = {Home devices like set-top boxes and media gateways are a rich source of users' information. They can play a role to facilitate interactions with friends and relatives in social networks. However these interactions have to follow policies to safeguard users' privacy while maintaining the complexity low for the average user. In this article we prototype an architecture based for home devices to participate in social networks. Besides, we explore the privacy issues and how the privacy offered in social networks can be improved.},

abstract = {In this article we present a system for sharing a Conditional Access Module among different visualization devices. Current pay-TV systems require having conditional access modules and smart cards replicated at every visualization device willing to access Pay-TV contents. In this article, we show how a home gateway, capable of securely distribute decryption keys to home visualization device, an inexpensive descrambler, and a home network, enable a flexible solution to access Pay-TV.},

abstract = {SCTP handover is too slow to be useful as a mobility solution for most applications. With quicker handovers, SCTP will be an interesting solution to mobility. SCTP uses retransmissions as probes for path failure detection. Congestion control forces slow paced retransmissions but quick failovers need fast paced probes. Our solution is to stop using retransmissions as probes. Instead, we propose active path monitoring using unreliable heartbeats. Applications can tune this algorithm to meet their own requirements. We show data from a simple experiment in a real environment.},
