| 20160063219 | OPERATING A DEVICE FOR FORWARDING PROTECTED CONTENT TO A CLIENT UNIT - The invention relates to a method of operating a device for forwarding protected content to a client unit, the device comprising at least one decryption module for decrypting protected content received in the device and at least one re-encryption module for re-encrypting the content to generate re-encrypted content to be sent to the client unit. The method comprises the steps of: (i) the decryption module authenticates the re-encryption module using authentication data transmitted from the re-encryption module to the decryption module, and (ii) the decryption module forwards decrypted content to the re-encryption module upon having successfully authenticated the re-encryption module. Moreover, the invention relates to a corresponding device. | 2016-03-03 |
| 20160063220 | Replay Attack Prevention for Content Streaming System - The invention relates to a method for accessing protected content provided to a client device, wherein the client device decrypts the content using at least one control word provided by a server device. In the method, (i) the client device sends a request message to the server device, the request message including a nonce, and the client device stores the nonce; (ii) upon receipt of the request message, the server device generates a control word message based on the control word and the received nonce; (iii) upon receipt of the control word message, the client device determines the control word from the control word message and validates the control word message using the stored nonce; and (iv) the client device uses the control word to decrypt at least part of the content in response to a successful validation of the control word message. Moreover, the invention relates to a client device and a server device for carrying out the method. | 2016-03-03 |
| 20160063221 | More External Storage of Medical Device Program Design Parameters - Many electronic medical devices include program design features that direct the operation of the device. The program design features of most electronic medical devices reside in the device itself and therefore are easily discovered by reverse engineering. In most cases, however, these features can be introduced into the device from an external source for only so long as necessary for each operation of the device, thereby making the reverse engineering of these features more difficult (or even impossible) and preserving a greater degree of design secrecy. | 2016-03-03 |
| 20160063222 | LICENSE MANAGEMENT METHODS - License management methods for use in a license management system are provided. The license management system includes licenses and first devices, each of which obtains one of the licenses. First, a license request from a second device is received and a license grade for each of the first devices and the second device is separately calculated based on a historical record of license usage corresponding to the first devices and the second device and an algorithm in response to the license request. Then, whether to agree the second device to obtain one of the licenses is determined according to the calculated grades and the number of remaining available licenses within the licenses. | 2016-03-03 |
| 20160063223 | DISTRIBUTING PROTECTED CONTENT - A method apparatus and media for distributing protected content. An exemplary embodiment, including receiving a selection of content, packaging the selected content to generate packaged content, encrypting the packaged content to generate an encrypted content package, transmitting the encrypted content package to a content server, receiving content location information corresponding to the location of the encrypted content package on the content server, receiving a selection of one or more rights, combining the one or more rights with the content location information to generate a rights package including the content location information, transmitting the rights package to a license server, receiving license location information corresponding to the location of the rights package on the license server, and distributing the license location information. | 2016-03-03 |
| 20160063224 | MULTI-MODE PROTECTED CONTENT WRAPPER - A method, apparatus, media and data structure for rendering a wrapper. The wrapper includes at least one data structure in a format that is renderable by a standard rendering engine and containing censored content comprising source content identification information. When the wrapper is opened by a standard rendering engine, the censored content is rendered. When opened by a trusted rendering engine, the source content is rendered. | 2016-03-03 |
| 20160063225 | USING FLASH STORAGE DEVICE TO PREVENT UNAUTHORIZED USE OF SOFTWARE - A flash storage device and a method for using the flash storage device to prevent unauthorized use of a software application are provided. An identifier may be encoded within specific sectors of the flash storage device. One bits of the identifier may be encoded as unusable ones of the specific sectors and zero bits of the identifier may be encoded as usable one of the specific sectors. Alternatively, the zero bits of the identifier may be encoded as the unusable ones of the specific sectors and the one bits of the identifier may be encoded as the usable ones of the specific sectors. The software application may be permitted to execute on a processing device connected to the flash storage device only when the identifier is encoded within the flash storage device. | 2016-03-03 |
| 20160063226 | Shared Session Techniques - Data sharing session techniques are described. In one or more implementations, a first user login session is initiated as running in a context of a first user profile of a first user with an operating system of a computing device. A request is received by the operating system to run the first user login session in a context of a second user profile of a second user. The second user profile is associated by the operating system with a shadow login session created within the first user login session of the operating system of the computing device such that interaction of the second user with the operating system is associated with the second user profile and interaction of the first user with the operating system is associated with the first user profile. | 2016-03-03 |
