STORING AND DISTRIBUTING ENCRYPTED DIGITAL CONTENT
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2006017362
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Managed/Secured File Transfer between one or more computers arranged in a server-client (201, 202) or peer-to-peer (206, 207) configuration. This method and system takes digital content in the form of a file (301), shreds this file into separate pieces (303) and encrypts each piece separately (304). Once encrypted, each piece is stored into a database (306). Client applications (302) can then access these pieces of digital content over a network (204, 211, 212), decrypt and reassemble each piece to be played in the case of audio/video content, or viewed in the case of visual content. In some embodiments, the content requested by the client application (302) is stored into a second database in a shredded and encrypted format, whereas in other embodiments the content (301) is reassembled into the original non-encrypted and non-shredded file format. This method and system can reside on a computer system (201, 202, 206, 207), hand held device (206), or other device (207).
