SYNCHRONIZATION OF DIGITAL RIGHTS MANAGEMENT DATA - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240265117 titled 'SYNCHRONIZATION OF DIGITAL RIGHTS MANAGEMENT DATA

The abstract describes a patent application where a computing device, such as a content packager, receives a request for content and sends a second request for the content to an encoder. The computing device then receives the requested content and a content manifest, but finds that the encryption key data for the content is not in its cache. It then sends a request for the encryption key data to a cache associated with a second computing device.

  • Computing device receives a request for content and sends a request for the content to an encoder.
  • Computing device receives the requested content and a content manifest.
  • Encryption key data for the content is not in the computing device's cache.
  • Computing device sends a request for the encryption key data to a cache associated with a second computing device.

Potential Applications: - Content packaging and delivery systems - Secure content distribution platforms - Digital rights management solutions

Problems Solved: - Efficient retrieval of encryption key data for secure content delivery - Streamlining the process of accessing encrypted content - Enhancing content security measures

Benefits: - Improved content delivery speed - Enhanced security for digital content - Simplified encryption key management

Commercial Applications: Title: Secure Content Delivery Systems This technology can be used in streaming services, online gaming platforms, and digital media distribution companies to ensure secure and efficient content delivery to users.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does this technology improve content security in digital distribution platforms? 2. What are the potential challenges in implementing this system in large-scale content delivery networks?

Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in encryption key management systems and content delivery technologies to enhance the efficiency and security of digital content distribution.


Original Abstract Submitted

a computing device (e.g., a content packager) may receive a request for content (e.g., video, audio, games, applications, data). the computing device may send a second request for the requested content to an encoder. in response to the second request, the computing device (e.g., the content packager) may receive the requested content and a content manifest associated with the requested content. the computing device may determine that encryption key data (e.g., an encryption key and/or key metadata) for the requested content is not in a cache associated with the computing device. the computing device (e.g., the content packager or a cache associated with the content packager) may send a request for the encryption key data associated with the requested content to a cache associated with a second computing device, based on the determination that the encryption key data is not in the cache associated with the computing device.
