BS EN 62481‑3 discusses digital living network alliance (DLNA) home networked device interoperability guidelines with a focus on link protection. BS EN 62481‑3 is the third part of the multi-series on DLNA home networked device interoperability that specifies the DLNA link protection guidelines, which are an extension of the DLNA guidelines. DLNA link protection is defined as the protection of a content stream between two devices on a DLNA network from illegitimate observation or interception using the protocols defined within BS EN 62481‑3.
BS EN 62481‑3 provides guidelines to reference existing technologies for Link Protection and provide mechanisms for interoperability between different implementations as well as
integration with the DLNA architecture.
BS IEC 62481‑3 on DLNA home networked device interoperability is useful for:
Consumers are acquiring, viewing, and managing an increasing amount of digital media (photos, music, and video) on devices in the Consumer Electronics (CE), mobile, and Personal Computer (PC) domains.
BS EN 62481‑3 provides guidelines for general and device-specific networking capabilities that are independent of the Link Protection System used.
BS EN 62481‑3 serves that purpose and provides vendors with the information needed to build interoperable networked platforms and devices for the digital home. BS EN 62481‑3 covers the guidelines for implementing device discovery and control using the UPnP device architecture.
