  • Patent number: 11962619
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for cryptographic signing of content requests. One method includes receiving, at a content network, a content request from a publisher website, the publisher website purporting to be associated with a publisher domain. At the content network, a public key may be received associated with the publisher domain. At the content network, at least one policy may be received associated with the publisher domain. It may be determined whether the content request comprises a cryptographic signature. If it is determined that the content request does not comprise a cryptographic signature, content may or may not be provided to the publisher website according to the policy from the publisher domain. If it is determined that the content request comprises a cryptographic signature, the cryptographic signature of the request may be validated using the public key.
