Description: License-based encryption is a method of data protection that links the decryption process to a specific license, ensuring that only authorized users can access the information. This approach combines cryptography with a digital rights management (DRM) system, allowing data owners to control who can view or use their content. Through this system, licenses are issued that contain the necessary keys to decrypt the data, and these licenses can be revoked or modified according to the owner’s policies. This provides an additional level of security, as even if the encrypted data is stolen, it cannot be used without the corresponding license. License-based encryption is particularly relevant in environments where the protection of intellectual property is crucial, such as in the software, music, and film industries, where the aim is to prevent piracy and unauthorized use of digital content. Furthermore, this method allows for more flexible management of access rights, facilitating adaptation to different scenarios of information use and distribution.
