Abstract: A method for protecting content, comprising receiving, from a client device, a request for an encryption key for encrypting the content comprising a reference associated with the client device, identifying a set of supported security capabilities corresponding to the reference associated with the client device, identifying a set of required security capabilities corresponding to the content associated with the key request, determining if the set of supported security capabilities satisfy the set of required security capabilities, and in response to determining that the supported security capabilities satisfy the set of required security capabilities, transmitting the encryption key to the client device.

Abstract: A digital rights management system is provided that includes a receiving device for receiving an encryption key request from a client device, a first database for storing a set of supported security capabilities corresponding to client device, a second database for storing a set of required security capabilities corresponding to at least one of the encryption key and content associated with the encryption key, a content management system for establishing rules to determine the set of required security capabilities corresponding to content, and a processing device. The processing device may be configured to identify the set of supported security capabilities corresponding to the client device and identify the set of required security capabilities corresponding to the content associated with the encryption key. The content management system may be configured to configure the set of supported security capabilities and configure the set of required security capabilities.

Abstract: A content distribution system that groups assets sharing the same required security capabilities in digital rights management service instances. Assets are encrypted with the help of media keys, effectively grouping media keys sharing the same required security capabilities. Digital rights management service instances are organized to cover different geographical areas, and asset groups are configured to migrate according to a configurable distribution range.

Abstract: A method is provided for authorizing a device for consuming content. In method includes the steps of generating an authorization request, the authorization request for authorization data including device diagnostic data (instructions) an device remedial data (instructions), transmitting the authorization request from the device to an authorizing service, and authorizing or remediating the device according to an authorization response to the authorization request received from an authorization server.

Abstract: A method of handling, as bulk material, a substance which is one member of a class of multi-component substances includes subjecting successive test samples of the substance to a series of measurements which provide multiple data points which are influenced by at least one selected parameter and from which are determined the factor loadings for the respective test sample of each of multiple pre-determined abstract factors. Pre-determined regression coefficients are utilized to calculate from the factor loadings a predicted value for the selected parameter for the respective test sample. The predicted value is compared with one or more related set points, and the constitution and/or disposition of the substance is controlled in response to the outcome of the successive comparisons.
