Abstract: A digital rights management system includes two digital rights management servers (RMS servers) connected to a client computer. The two RMS servers implement different but related digital rights management (DRM) policies, with the first RMS server implementing conventional DRM policies and the second RMS server implementing extended DRM policies. An application program on the client computer interacts with a document on the client computer, and communicates with the first RMS server to obtain access authorization for the document.

Access to the document is granted when both RMS servers grant access to the document. This achieves extended digital rights management control which can provide a more flexible access control than that provided by existing DRM systems.

Abstract: Embodiments use crowd disambiguation techniques to protect the privacy of potentially sensitive client resources in web transactions. Crowd disambiguation servers can aggregate information about resources, such as URLs, accessed by clients, in the form of resource fingerprints submitted by the clients. Said resource fingerprints can be used to provide crowd-sourced services in a privacy-protected manner. For example, in some embodiments a fingerprint of a URL visited by a client can be communicated to the server as both a fully ambiguated resource instance (FARI) and a partially disambiguated resource instance (PDRI). When only one client, or a limited number of clients, has communicated a certain resource fmgerprint, the underlying identity of the resource, in this case the URL, remains obfuscated from the crowd disambiguation server, which lacks sufficient information to reconstruct it.

Abstract: A method for performing a secure function in a data processing system is provided. In accordance with one embodiment, the method includes generating and encoding an encryption key. The encoded encryption key may be encrypted in a key store in a trusted execution environment (TEE) of the data processing system. The encrypted encryption key may encrypted, stored, and decrypted in the key store in the TEE, but used in a white-box implementation to perform a secure function. The secure function may include encrypting a value in the white-box implementation for securing a monetary value on, for example, a smart card. In one embodiment, each time an encryption key or decryption key is used, it is changed to a new key. The method makes code lifting and rollback attacks more difficult for an attacker because the key is stored separately from, for example, a white-box implementation in secure storage.
