Project DReaM was aSun Microsystems project aimed at developing an open interoperableDRM architecture that implements standardized interfaces.[1] Its primary goal was the creation of aroyalty-free digital rights management industrystandard. On 22 August 2005, Sun announced that it was opening up Project DReaM, which had started as an internal research project,[2] as part of theirOpen Media Commons initiative.[1] It was released under theCommon Development and Distribution License (CDDL). Due to inactivity on the project, it was closed and archived in August 2008.[3] DReaM is anacronym that stands for "DRM everywhere/available".
Project DReaM included of a Java Stream AssemblyAPI[4] to support digital video management and distribution,[5] a hardware- and operating system-independent interoperable DRM standard called DRM-OPERA,[6] and the Sun Streaming Server to stream video and audio overIP.[4] The key characteristics of Project DReaM were as follows:[7]
Network identity focus: Project DReaM approaches DRM (and CAS) from a networkidentity management-focused perspective, rather than a device-centric approach.[8]
Interoperability: Project DReaM uses an open approach and fully specifies everything necessary to buildheterogeneous,interoperable, vendor neutral implementations.
No reliance on security through obscurity: Project DReaM's architecture does not follow the traditional model ofsecurity through obscurity which must maintain a closed source code base in order to operate securely.
Royalty-free design model: Project DReaM is designed to be royalty free, allowing developers to avoid encumbered technology that carries onerous licensing costs.
Project DReaM technology required the software code to be signed and run ontrusted computing hardware, on which unauthorized or unsigned code cannot be run. This approach was criticized by journalistCory Doctorow, who characterized Project DReaM ascrippleware.[9] Project DReaM was favorably mentioned byMike Linksvayer in a 2008 article discussing its support for fair use andCreative Commons-licensed content.[10]
