  • Publication number: 20220327393
    Abstract: Systems and methods for aggregating a dependency structure based on application logging data, application metadata, customer intent and journey, organizational structure, and operational support information. The method includes receiving data using an application programming interface. The method further includes, for each user, determining a start point and an end point corresponding to user activity on a networked system. The method also includes, for each user, determining a task based on the start point and end point corresponding to the user activity. The method further includes, for each user, determining operations data corresponding to the user activity. The method also includes, for each user, determining a dependency structure based on the task and the operations data. The method also includes aggregating the dependency structure, the task, and the operations data into a visualization. The method further includes generating for display the visualization on a user device.

  • Publication number: 20060265334
    Abstract: A digital license includes an identification of a removal service that can authorize removing such license. A client selects the license to be removed and the service, constructs a challenge including therein a challenge license identification block (LIB) identifying the license to be removed, and sends the challenge to the service. The service receives the challenge, stores at least a portion of the challenge in a database, constructs a response corresponding to the challenge and including therein a response LIB identifying the license to be removed and an identification of the service, and sends the response to the client. The client receives the response, employs the response LIB from the response to identify the license to be removed, and removes the identified license upon confirming that the identification of the service in the identified license matches the identification of the service in the response.

  • Publication number: 20060236097
    Abstract: A method of registering network devices in a digital rights management system (DRMS) includes receiving a digital certificate transmitted by the network device requesting registration and verifying the validity of the certificate. The DRMS may then send cryptographic information to the applying network device. The network device may be authorized for registration via a user interface to the DRMS. The DRMS may conduct a proximity test to determine of the network device is proximate to the DRMS. If the certificate is validated, authorization is received, and the proximity test indicates that the network device is proximate to the DRMS, the network device may be registered. A registered network device is then authorized to play protected digital content.

  • Publication number: 20060235798
    Abstract: A system of controlling playback of digital media. A system of controlling playback of digital media comprising a CE device having an output path and a license having a specified output protection level disposed upon the CE device in which the specified output protection level controls playback of the digital media over the output path.

  • Publication number: 20060174110
    Abstract: A method of indirect license acquisition. A method of indirect license acquisition comprising, requesting a device certificate from a CE device by a PC. Then validating the device certificate sent from the CE device by the PC. Creating a random session ID and a session key by the PC. Generating a sent license response that is sent to the CE device. And processing a license response by the CE device.

  • Publication number: 20060089917
    Abstract: A method of synchronizing. A method of synchronizing comprising, transferring at least one license of a plurality of licenses from a first PC, populating a license store on a CE device with the at least one license of the plurality of licenses from the first PC, populating a synchronization list with all licenses having state, filtering the synchronization list according to at least one threshold value to create a filtered synchronization list of licenses to be refreshed and refreshing the licenses to be refreshed.

  • Publication number: 20060085646
    Abstract: Generating a device certificate. A method of generating a device certificate comprising forming a template that will generate a device certificate upon the occurrence of a triggering event, filling in an authorization root certificate section of the template; filling in an authorization certificate section of the template, filling in a group certificate section of the template, and forming a device certificate section of the template.

  • Publication number: 20060085634
    Abstract: A method of generating a device certificate. A method of generating a device certificate comprising, constructing a device certificate challenge at a device, sending information to a device certificate individualization server in response to the device certificate challenge, validating the device certificate challenge by the device certificate individualization server, and validating the device certificate response by the device.

  • Publication number: 20060010076
    Abstract: Metered data is accumulated and is indexed within a metering database of a client according to a metering ID (MID) and a content-associated ID (KID). The client selects a particular MID and metered data in the metering database having the selected MID, and constructs a challenge based on the selected metered data and sends same to a metering service. The metering service obtains the metered data from the challenge, stores same, and constructs a response. The client receives the response including a list of KIDs of the selected metered data in the challenge, and processes the list of KIDs by, for each KID in the list, deleting the metered data from the metering database having the selected MID and the KID.
