  • Patent number: 8601553
    Abstract: A technique of imposing access control policies is presented. The technique comprises receiving a token which is associated with a datum by a tokenization server. The technique also includes generating an access control result based on at least a portion of the token. The technique further includes imposing a first access control policy which includes refraining from sending an access request to the tokenization server when the access control result has a first value and a second access control policy which includes sending an access request to the tokenization server, the access request being constructed and arranged to request access to the datum when the access control result has a second value which is different from the first value.

  • Patent number: 8533259
    Abstract: A system and methods are disclosed for serving combined media using resource metadata referencing original media data. Combined resource metadata is created from combining the metadata of two or more files for a virtual media file representing the requested combined media. The combined data can be adjusted to synch audio and video portions as needed for combining the files. The virtual media file references the original media files and serves the content on-the-fly, rather than creating a new file with the combined media, at a savings of server response time and memory consumption, while maintaining high performance.

  • Patent number: 8495365
    Abstract: A content processing apparatus includes a read unit which reads encrypted key information from a recording medium, a decryption unit which decrypts the encrypted key information with a device key and dynamic information to obtain key information containing content keys, an update unit which updates the dynamic information, a key information processing unit which updates the key information by extracting a content key corresponding to a move target content from the key information, and removing the content key from the key information, a first encryption unit which encrypts the updated key information with the device key and the updated dynamic information, a second encryption unit which encrypts the content key with a shared key, and a write unit which overwrites the updated encrypted key information on the encrypted key information in the medium and writes the encrypted content key in the medium.
