An e-book personalization architecture with digital rights and encryption procedures

In this paper we report in building an electronic book (e-book) representation with Digital Rights Management (DRM) architecture. E-book personalization is being featured with DRM capabilities. The knowledge about DRM architecture can be further formalised, more specifically for ebook packaging. E-book requires the secure business model that includes e-book transaction. DRM framework is to provide the significant field for producers/consumers. E-book associates the DRM components: the capabilities for e-book personalization/DRM. It includes five components: (1) create/publish such as legal contracting, writing/editing the content, (2) market/distribute such as packaging, storing, translating and shipping e-book content, (3) sell to consumer such as selling, fulfilling and processing payments, (4) consume content such as reading, storing and disposing of e-books, and (5) support consumer such as returning, replacing and troubleshooting. At a macro level, the e-book is being evaluated based on the commercialization of the e-book market, and while at a micro level, it is evaluated based on the technical infrastructure is required to distribute the e-book package from publisher to consumer.
