  • Publication number: 20150304736
    Abstract: Technologies for hardening the security of digital information on a client device are described. In some embodiments, the client device includes a secure processing environment such as a secure enclave, which may be used to protect digital information on a client platform. The secure environment(s) may also protect assets which may be used to access the digital information. Using the secure processing environment(s), the described technologies may protect digital information as it is provided to, stored on, accessed on, and/or processed for display by a client device, even if the client device may be infested with malware or subject to attack by another entity.

  • Patent number: 8924727
    Abstract: Technologies for labeling diverse content are described. In some embodiments, a content creation device generates a data structure that may include encrypted diverse content and metadata including at least one rights management (RM) label applying to the diverse content. The RM label may attribute all or a portion of the diverse content to one or more authors. The metadata may also be signed using an independently verifiable electronic signature. A consumption device receiving such a data structure may verify the authenticity of the electronic signature and, if verification succeeds, decrypt the encrypted diverse content in the data structure. Because the metadata is encapsulated with the diverse content in the data structure, it may accompany the diverse content upon its transfer or incorporation into other diverse content.
