Patent number: 7920702Abstract: A system and a method for providing variable security mechanisms for securing digital content, in which a single security mechanism is not used for all content. Instead, at least one characteristic or feature of the security mechanism is varied between units, instances or categories of content. Therefore, even if unauthorized access is gained to a single unit of content, the overall integrity and security of the system for content distribution is not compromised. Preferably, security is provided though a general mechanism, which is then varied in order to provide variable, dissimilar security schemes for different types of content. By “type of content”, it is meant any of a single unit of content, a single instance of content or a single category of content. For example, for a category of content, the content may be characterized according to the identity of the content itself, such as the title of a movie for example, and/or according to the owner of a particular copy of the content.Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 2009Date of Patent: April 5, 2011Assignee: NDS LimitedInventors: Chaim Shen-Orr, Eliphaz Hibshoosh, Gyora Benedek, Hillel Solow, Yaacov Belenky, Yossi Tsuria, Zvi Shkedy

Publication number: 20020114465Abstract: A system and a method for flexible, yet secure distribution of digital content items, optionally with an automatic payment mechanism for purchasing such content. The present invention supports the distribution of content to end user devices from a central distribution point (320), as in client-server models and variations thereof, and/or peer-to-peer distribution, for example between end user devices (310). In addition, the present invention also supports distribution models within either of these mechanisms for unitary distribution, to a specified end user device, or broadcast/multicast distribution, to a plurality of end user devices. In any case, in order for the distributed content to be operative, for example to be “played back” or otherwise displayed, the recipient end user device (310) must be in communication with a network control center (240).Type: ApplicationFiled: December 18, 2001Publication date: August 22, 2002Inventors: D.
