Abstract: This disclosure describes systems and associated processes that provide digital rights management for applications. In some embodiments, these system and processes couple DRM protection with individual applications, rather than with a centralized service. For instance, these systems and processes can be implemented in the context of an application store or distribution service that distributes applications for purchase or for free to user devices. Developers can submit applications to the application distribution service for distribution to end users. In response to receiving an application from a developer, the application distribution service can modify the application to include DRM features. The application distribution service can accomplish this modification without input from or the knowledge of the developer. The DRM features included in the modified application can prevent or otherwise reduce copying or modifying of the application.

Abstract translation: 本公开描述了为应用提供数字权限管理的系统和相关联的过程。 在一些实施例中，这些系统和过程将DRM保护与单独的应用程序耦合，而不是集中式服务。 例如，这些系统和过程可以在分发要购买的应用程序或免费给用户设备的应用程序存储或分发服务的上下文中实现。 开发人员可以将应用程序提交给应用程序分发服务，以分发给最终用户。 响应于从开发者接收应用程序，应用程序分发服务可以修改应用程序以包括DRM功能。 应用程序分发服务可以在不从开发人员的输入或知识的情况下完成此修改。 包含在修改后的应用程序中的DRM功能可以防止或以其他方式减少应用程序的复制或修改。
