Abstract:
A process for converting a DTCP-IP transport stream into HLS format, comprising receiving an encrypted DTCP-IP transport stream comprising DTCP frames at a secondary device from a source device, with each of the plurality of DTCP frames comprising encrypted 16-byte portions, forming chunks from the DTCP frames by grouping encrypted 16-byte portions into a chunk, adding HLS padding bytes to the end of each chunk and encrypting the HLS padding bytes to form an encrypted chunk, loading each of the encrypted chunks and a playlist to a media proxy server at the secondary device, loading a DTCP key onto a security proxy server, and providing the playlist, each of the encrypted chunks, and the DTCP key to a native media player on the secondary device, such that the native media player follows the playlist to decrypt the encrypted chunks using the DTCP key and plays back the chunks.
Abstract:
System and method for securing digital content comprising one or more display devices, each comprising a processing controller, a first memory, and a display screen, and configured to display digital content, an application, configured to run on a computer with a second memory and second processor, and configured to communicate via the internet with the processing controller of each display device, and a service cloud, comprising a server, a third memory, and a third processor, configured to store and manage digital content to be displayed on the display devices. The processing controller is configured to segment at least one digital content item into a plurality of segments, encrypt one or more of the segments, send a small portion of each of the encrypted segments to the third memory in the service cloud for storage, and store the remainder of the encrypted segments in the first memory.
Abstract:
Break-Once, Run-everywhere (BORE) resistant software configurations and digital goods and content distribution methods and arrangements are provided for use in computer systems and networks. An initial digital good is selectively divided into at least two portions. The first portion is provided to a destination computer, for example, via a CD ROM, floppy disk, or pre-loaded on a hard disk drive. The second portion is operatively modified within a source computer based on unique data associated with the destination computer. The modified second portion is then provided to the destination computer, for example, over a network, along with a key that can be used to operatively modify the first portion to be compatible with the modified second portion. The destination computer then modifies the first portion accordingly, and combines the modified first portion with the modified second portion to produce a modified digital good that is operatively different in configuration, but substantially functionally equivalent to the initial digital good. During subsequent initialization or operation, the modified digital good verifies that the destination computer is properly associated with the key and/or the unique data previously associated with the destination computer.
Abstract:
A digital product is freely distributed through uncontrolled channels in encrypted form (108). Security fragment(s) of the encrypted product are withheld (102), and provided only upon communication with license server (104). The customer uses reader software (106) to purchase a license. Such software (106) examines components then present on the reader system to develop a reader system signature, which the license server (106) uses to encrypt the product decryption key and the security fragments before sending them to the reader system. When the customer wishes to use the product, a new reader system signature is generated and used to decrypt the product fragments.

Abstract:
A series of data treatment processes, software applications and hardware devices jointly used to achieve the ability to make an electronic document available to the public or to a limited audience to either cease being readable, or start being readable, at a given moment in time or after a given event has occurred. A typical usage scenario consists in "automatic destruction" of documents used internally by an organization and that must be made unreadable after a certain project is complete. Conversely, public offers for auctions may be posted to all the participants and the issuer in an unreadable form, and made then readable after the deadline of the auction is expired. Again, documents may be made unreadable after a certain number of reads, or forwarded to a specific address under some conditions, or accessed only through well-known unmodified clients.
Abstract:
A system for managing the rights to one or more digital content files within a computer network, and for permitting the on-line playback of such content files by an authorized user. In order to manage these rights, the system encrypts the content files to prevent unauthorized access to the files. Encryption is accomplished by using one or more keys which are associated with one or more segments of the content file. These keys enable an authorized user to decrypt and playback the content files at a subsequent time. Upon receiving the keys, an end user's system retrieves a license from a license server which specifies the rights of the user as it relates to the content files.
Abstract:
System and method for displaying digital content on a display device, comprising at least one digital content item configured to be displayed on the display device, a service cloud, comprising a server, first memory, and first processor, configured to store and manage digital content, and an application, configured to run on a computer with second memory, second processor, and user input device, and configured to communicate via the Internet with the display device and service cloud. In response to a signal from the user input device, the application detects a display of a digital content item on the application's interface, selects the digital content item display from a virtual representation of a digital library on the interface, and moves the digital content item display to a virtual representation of the display device on the interface. In response, the service cloud processor sends the digital content item to the display device.
