A Signature Information Generation Method for Judging the Illegality of Cloud-Based Webtoons

Recently, platforms that service digital contents such as movies, dramas, and webtoons are switching from downloading methods to streaming methods, and illegal content servicing methods are also changing from downloading to streaming. These streaming-based copyright infringement crimes avoid the blocking and investigation by law enforcement agencies through methods such as using overseas servers or disguising the IP of operating servers using cloud services, etc., which requires an appropriate measures to respond to them. In this paper, we propose a signature information generation method through which the illegality of distributed digital contents can be quickly checked. Using this method, there is an advantage in quickly finding illegally distributed digital contents based on a cloud server, which can prompt to block illegal distribution sites.
