SOURCE AUTHENTICATION FOR CONTENT AGGREGATORS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240323024 titled 'SOURCE AUTHENTICATION FOR CONTENT AGGREGATORS

The abstract of the patent application describes a method for establishing content authenticity when aggregating content. This involves receiving a content package with a content item hosted by a content publisher site and a digital signature, decrypting the digital signature using a public key associated with the content publisher, and providing aggregated content to consumers based on authenticity criteria.

  • The method involves receiving a content package containing a content item and a digital signature.
  • Authenticity is determined by decrypting the digital signature using a public key associated with the content publisher.
  • The decrypted signature produces hashes of different portions of the content item.
  • Aggregated content is provided to consumers based on whether the content package satisfies authenticity criteria.

Potential Applications: - Content aggregation platforms - Digital content distribution systems - Online publishing and media platforms

Problems Solved: - Ensuring content authenticity in aggregated content - Preventing unauthorized content distribution - Establishing trust in content from various publishers

Benefits: - Enhanced content security - Improved trust in aggregated content - Protection against content tampering

Commercial Applications: Title: Secure Content Aggregation Technology for Digital Platforms This technology can be used in digital content platforms to ensure the authenticity and security of aggregated content, attracting more users and advertisers looking for trustworthy content.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the method ensure the authenticity of content from different publishers? - The method uses digital signatures and public keys associated with content publishers to verify the authenticity of the content.

2. What are the potential implications of this technology for online media platforms? - This technology can enhance the credibility of online media platforms by ensuring the authenticity of the content they aggregate.


Original Abstract Submitted

a method for establishing content authenticity when aggregating content includes receiving a content package that includes a content item hosted by a content publisher site and a first digital signature. the method also includes determining whether the content package satisfies authenticity criteria, at least in part by decrypting the first digital signature using a first public key to produce a plurality of hashes. the first public key is associated with a particular content publisher, the plurality of hashes includes a hash of first data that includes at least a first portion of the content item and a hash of second data that includes at least a second portion of the content item and omits at least the first portion. the method also includes providing aggregated content to content consumers, by including or restricting access to a link based on whether the content package satisfies the authenticity criteria.
