Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer readable media for delivery of content are provided. In some embodiments, systems for controlling delivery of content are provided, the systems comprising processing circuitry configured to: receive a request to stream the content, the request being received from a user equipment device; determine a first location of the user equipment device; determine a count of user equipment devices that are located at the first location and are currently streaming the content; determine whether the count meets a threshold; and responsive to determining that the count meets the threshold, add a first content delivery network to a pool of one or more content delivery networks that are used to stream the content.

Abstract: Lightweight mechanisms provide a way to assert provenance when live streaming media content and establish provenance upon playback. For example, a provenance claim generator generates a key pair including a live-stream private key and live-stream public key. The claim generator signs, with a long-term private key reliably associated with a sender, manifest metadata including the live-stream public key, thereby producing a manifest signature. During live streaming, the claim generator signs respective portions of media content with the live-stream private key, producing portion signatures for the respective portions. A provenance claim validator receives the manifest signature and manifest metadata. The claim validator verifies the manifest metadata using a long-term public key (reliably associated with the sender) and the manifest signature.

The projection screen is mounted on the vehicle and positioned a predetermined distance beyond the vehicle windshield. The windshield includes a layer of holographic film. The image is keystone corrected to conform a shape of the image to be closer to a shape of the projection screen than an uncorrected shape of the image. The image is focused on the projection screen.

Abstract: The present disclosure concerns methods and systems for registering dynamically created packaged applications with an operating system. A dynamically created packaged application may not include a way to authenticate the packaged application but may declare a dependency on a host package. The host package may include a verified signature and be registered with the operating system. The host package may include a host runtime that references an executable included in the host package. The packaged application may not include executable files but may reference the host runtime. The operating system may register the packaged application based in part on its dependency on the host package. When the packaged application is activated, the packaged application may invoke the host runtime and the executable but do so with an application identity of the packaged application. The application identity may be different from a host runtime identity of the host runtime.
