【Abstract】The digital rights management of museums is a mechanism that protects digital content from being abused by controlling and managing its usage rights. Traditional museums attach importance to the collection, display, research, and education functions of "objects". In response to natural or man-made disasters, people are often caught off guard, destroying material, intangible assets, and spiritual symbolism. Therefore, with the advancement of digital technology, this research is based on the mechanism of blockchain, through the authorization of cryptographic proxy re-encryption, and proposes a new method for the preservation and authorization of digital content in museums, which can effectively display, store, and promote "important cultural relics and digital archives". In this research, the Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA), blockchain, and smart contracts are used to design a sustainable and traceable cultural relic exhibition mechanism. The proposed scheme achieves publicly verifiable, transparency, unforgeability, traceability, non-repudiation, standardization of stored data, timeliness, etc., goals. It is the museum's preservation and innovation approach for the unpredictable future. Through appropriate preservation and management mechanisms, it has extremely important practical significance for the protection of museum collections, the inheritance of historical and cultural heritage, and the expansion of social education.
