Apparatus and method for controlling access to security content using near field network communication of mobile devices

Abstract

Disclosed is an apparatus for controlling access to a security content using near field network communication of mobile devices. A policy issuance provider registration unit requests a content security policy for a first content, a security content, to a service server, receives the content security policy for the first content, requests to the service server for a first mobile device to be registered as a content security policy issuance provider, and receives a result of registration and a provider policy from the service server. A policy issuance provider converting unit converts the first mobile device to the content security policy issuance provider when receiving a request for access for browsing the first content through near-field network communication from another mobile device in which a DRM client application is being executed. A temporary content security policy issuance unit issues a temporary content security policy for the first content through near-field network communication to the second mobile device so that the second mobile device can browse the first content.
