摘要:
A data provider (1) for use in a digital rights management system comprises a data protector (2) for protecting data (20), using attribute-based encryption, in dependence on an access policy over a plurality of attributes. A license issuer (3) issues a license (17) comprising a representation of a set of usage rights (18), wherein the set of usage rights (18) is associated (19) with the data (20), for granting the usage rights (18) in respect of the data (20) to a plurality of entities (10) having attributes satisfying the access policy. A data receiver (10) comprises a data access subsystem (11) for accessing data, using attribute-based decryption, in dependence on a decryption key (16) associated with a set of attributes. The data receiver (10) further comprises a usage constraining subsystem (12) for constraining the access to the data (20), based on a license (17) comprising a representation of a set of usage rights (18) associated (19) with the data.
摘要:
Methods for software activation are provided that associate a software license key with one or more authorized individuals such that an authorized individual can readily transfer a license between different platforms. A biometric sample of the individual is stored in an enrollment step upon first activation of the software. Later, the same individual can provide a biometric sample that matches the stored biometric sample in order to activate the software on another platform, rendering the first instance inactive if no additional activations are available. More than one individual can be authorized under a license that allows for multiple activations.
摘要:
Biometric data, such as fingerprint data, of at least one authorized user of a digital multimedia product is embedded into a digital multimedia product, to thereby control use of the digital multimedia product by a prospective user who obtains access to the digital multimedia product. The digital multimedia product, including the biometric data of the at least one authorized user that is embedded therein, is stored in a digital storage medium. At least some use of the digital multimedia product by a prospective user is prevented upon failure to match biometric data of the prospective user to the biometric data that is embedded in the digital multimedia product.
摘要:
Systems and methods use an origin pattern to verify the authenticity of a collection of items or an entity offering items for sale. Example methods include receiving identifiers for items in a collection, determining the requesting entity is authorized to include the items in the collection, generating an origin pattern based on a hash of a private identifier for the requesting entity and a collection identifier, and providing the origin pattern for placement of packaging for the collection. Another example method includes generating a first digital identity origin pattern that is provided for display, receiving a verification request with a second digital identity origin pattern, and verifying that the verification requestor generated the first digital identity origin pattern, a fingerprint component of the first digital identity origin pattern matches a fingerprint component of the second digital identity origin pattern, and the verification request falls within a verification window.
摘要:
A data reproduction method for reproducing data embedded in a data object, comprising the steps of:
executing a biometric user recognition program embedded in said data object for verifying the rights of said user to access said data, executing a data reproduction application embedded in said data object for reproducing said embedded data with a user device.
