    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for privacy-preserving cross-domain experiment monitoring are described. In one aspect, a method includes receiving, by a first server of a MPC system, a request for digital content including a first secret share of an application instance identifier that identifies the application instance associated with the device. The first server conducts, in collaboration with a second server of the secure MPC system, a privacy-preserving selection process to select a winning digital component from a set of digital components. Each digital component has a corresponding unique experiment identifier and unique control identifier. A first secret share representing the winning digital component is generated. A response is generated and includes the first secret share of the selection result and data representing whether the application is in the experiment group or a control group for each digital component.

    Abstract: Distributing and enforcing a license for content to be consumed according to conditions defined by usage rights stated in the license, including: encrypting the usage rights with a key using a homomorphic encryption and sending the encrypted usage rights to an agent; receiving from the agent modified encrypted usage rights generated by performing a homomorphic operation on the encrypted usage rights with a nonce; and decrypting the modified encrypted usage rights and sending the decrypted modified usage rights back to the agent, wherein usage rights are extracted from the decrypted modified usage rights by performing an operation that is reverse of the homomorphic operation with the nonce.

    Abstract: Techniques are described for managing licenses of Internet of Things devices. One embodiment includes receiving, at a network management system, a request to allocate a license to a first endpoint device. Real-time device metadata and state data for the first endpoint device are accessed. Embodiments select a license instance, from a plurality of license instances, to allocate to the first endpoint device, based at least in part on the real-time device metadata and state data for the first endpoint device. The selected license instance is assigned to the first endpoint device and at least an indication that a valid license has been assigned to the first endpoint device is transmitted to the first endpoint device.

    Abstract: Described herein are techniques for providing one or more users with access to content obtained from a plurality of content providers. In some embodiments, such techniques may comprise maintaining a number of access credentials associated with a plurality of different content providers, obtaining access to a plurality of media content libraries, each of the plurality of media content libraries managed by a content provider of the plurality of different content providers, and providing the plurality of media content libraries to at least one user device as a single library of media content. Such techniques may further comprise receiving, from the user device, a selection of a media content from the single library of media content and providing, to the user device, access to the selected media content within a corresponding media content library of the plurality of media content libraries using an access credential.

    Abstract: One variation of a method comprises: a) One variation of a method comprises: detecting a first selection, by a digital media consumer, of a first digital media frame generated for a first digital media asset and presented within a graphical user interface (GUI) of a first web gallery in a locked state; b) deducting a first amount of media credits equal to a first media credit value established for the first digital media asset from a media credit account associated with the digital media consumer; and c) in response to detecting the first selection of the first digital media frame and successfully deducting the first amount of media credits equal to the first media credit value from the media credit account associated with the digital media consumer, unlocking the first digital media frame to provide the digital media consumer with access to the first digital media asset.

    Abstract: Managing access to digital content in a virtual environment using virtual content rights, including: providing a virtual content rights database comprising data associating a user of the virtual environment with the virtual content rights acquired with respect to the digital content; receiving, at a processor, a request from a device of the user for assignment of the virtual content rights of the digital content, wherein the user uses the device to interface with the processor; updating the virtual content rights database to indicate the assignment of the virtual content rights to the user; receiving, at the processor, data from the device of the user holding the virtual content rights to digital content including songs to create a virtual user-configured music room having at least one of the songs; and updating the virtual content rights database to indicate sharing of the virtual user-configured music room by the user within the virtual environment.
