针对网络编码的逆向工程技术合法性分析

网络编码是网络通信领域中的一项重大突破,它改变了传统网络的存储转发模式,将路由与编码的信息处理技术相结合,极大地提高了网络传输效率。在技术研究和应用实践的过程当中,随着网络逆向工程技术手段的介入,与之相关的技术合法性问题也再一次引起信息技术领域和法律领域的共同关注,尤其是"合理使用"原则的适用性颇具争议。网络编码的技术特征一定程度上可以反映对网络编码的逆向工程技术手段是否符合"合理使用"原则,进而触及针对网络编码的逆向工程技术合法性问题及相关可适用的原则。

Legitimacy Analysis of Reverse Engineering Technique towards Network Coding

Network coding is a significant break-through in the field of network communications.It transformes the store-and-forward mode of traditional network and combines the information processing technologies of routing and coding,bringing in a great progress of network transmission efficiency.In the procedure of technology research and application,the intervene of network reverse engineering leads to a common attention and discussion of the intellectual property issue across the field of IT and law,especially for the topic of Fair Use.This article first studied the technical features of network coding,and then made an analysis of the legitimacy of network reverse engineering towards network coding upon the theory of Fair Use and network coding,coming up with proper principles.
