    Abstract: This application relates to embodiments for providing a content stream to a device from a content server based on a protocol that is established between the device and an account server. The account server can initiate a session with the device and provide the device with a list of channels available for a user account associated with the device. When a channel is selected at the device, conditional access information can be provided from the account server to the device, which can thereafter relay the conditional access information to the content server. The content server can use the conditional access information to verify that the device has the appropriate permission to receive streaming content. In this way, because the conditional access information originates at the account server, permission to access streaming content can be managed by correspondence between the account server and the device, rather than the content server.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, non-transitory computer-readable medium stores instructions for establishing a trusted two-way communications session for account creation for an online store, which include instructions for causing a processor to perform operations comprising retrieving and verifying a signed configuration file from a server, requesting a communication session using the configuration file, receiving a payload of account creation forms from a network client, signing the payload according to the server configuration file, and sending the signed payload containing account creation information to the server. In one embodiment, a computer-implemented method comprises analyzing timestamps for requests for data forms for supplying account creation information for evidence of automated account creation activity and rejecting the request for the locator of the second account creation form if evidence of automated account creation activity is detected. Methods for secure account authentication and asset purchase are also disclosed.

    Abstract: Techniques are described for generating a verified data package. An example method includes receiving data including biographical information and an associated portrait. The method further includes causing a prompt for a user to capture a self-portrait photograph to be displayed based at least in part on receiving the data. The method further includes receiving the self-portrait photograph based at least in part on the displayed prompt. The method further includes causing data and the self-portrait photograph to be transmitted to a server. The method further includes receiving, from the server, a verified data package comprising the biographical information, the portrait, and an attestation that the self-portrait photograph and the portrait are the user.

    Abstract: A method for distributing content. The method distributes a single media storage structure to a device (e.g., a computer, portable player, etc.). The media storage structure includes first and second pieces of encrypted content. Based on whether the device is allowed to access the first piece of content, the second piece of content, or both, the method provides the device with a set of keys for decrypting the pieces of the content that the device is able to access. The provided set of keys might include one or more keys for decrypting only one of the two encrypted pieces of content. Alternatively, it might include one or more keys for decrypting both encrypted pieces of content. For instance, the selected set of keys might include a first key for decrypting the first encrypted piece and a second key for decrypting the second encrypted piece.

    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to biometric authentication. In one embodiment, a computing device includes a controller circuit, a camera, and a secure circuit. The controller circuit is coupled to a button and detects when the button has been pressed. The camera captures a set of biometric data of a user. The secure circuit performs an authentication of the user by confirming that a notification identifying the button being pressed was received from the controller circuit and by comparing the set of biometric data with another set of biometric data for an authorized user of the computing device. In some embodiments, the controller circuit is configured to maintain a timestamp indicative of when the button has been pressed and usable by the secure circuit to confirm that the button is pressed within a threshold time period of the authentication being performed.
