Patent number: 8638934Abstract: Rather than downloading each content document on demand from the publisher location to the user site, at the publisher location, each content document is encrypted and then multiple encrypted documents are assembled into a distribution archive that is itself encrypted with a scheduled key. The distribution archive is then downloaded into a content server at the user site. When the content server receives the distribution archive, it decrypts the archive file and unpacks the encrypted documents. The scheduled key used to decrypt an archive file is included with an archive file that was sent previously to the user site in accordance with the subscription service. The scheduled key to decrypt the first archive file sent to the user is sent from the publisher to the user over a communication channel different from the communication channel used to send the archive file from the publisher to the user.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 2011Date of Patent: January 28, 2014Assignee: Imophaze Research Co., L.L.C.Inventors: John Deaver, Woodrow W. Johnson, Skott C. Klebe

Publication number: 20110247084Abstract: Licensed access to selected videos is provided by a licensing service organization that obtains licenses from video content providers and combines these licenses into a new license for selected videos for a licensee organization. Administrators at the licensee organization then obtain a video authorization key for each video selection from the licensing service organization and embed those keys into web pages that are accessible via an intranet. Navigating to a web page for that selection from a computer connected to the intranet causes a viewing request that includes the embedded video authorization key and an IP address of the computer to be sent to a server at the licensing service organization. The server uses the incoming information to determine whether the request is from a predetermined intranet computer and if so to determine whether the request can be granted based on the new license conditions.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 6, 2010Publication date: October 6, 2011Applicant: COPYRIGHT CLEARANCE CENTER, INC.Inventors: Matthew Kolbert, Skott C.

Patent number: 8006307Abstract: In a secure content distribution system, the text is extracted and scrambled in content documents that include text. The scrambled content is made available for indexing by conventional search engines but is not available as plain text and thus is kept secure. The scrambling process breaks a text stream derived from the content document into two to five word phrases, randomizes the phrases and creates a text file from the randomized stream. Third party search engines are allowed to index the scrambled file so that search algorithms that search on particular words or phrases produce nearly the same number of hits as with the plain text file. A web server that provides the content returns either the scrambled content to a search engine or a link to the publisher by examining a user agent parameter that accompanies a content request. Alternatively the scrambled content also includes a script routine that links to the publisher.Type: GrantFiled: July 9, 2003Date of Patent: August 23, 2011Assignee: Imophaze Research Co., L.L.C.Inventor: Skott C.

Patent number: 7493499Abstract: A secure distribution system utilizes a content viewer that consists of an applet that is downloaded to a user's conventional browser when the user logs into a publisher's server. The content viewer requests a selected document from the server by referring to the document name or URL. The server retrieves the document and forwards it to the viewer in encrypted form. The viewer then computes a document identifier from the encrypted document and uses the identifier to request a key in order to decrypt the document. The key is forwarded from the server to the viewer that then decrypts the document and displays it in the viewer. Since the document is processed by the viewer and displayed only in a window associated with the viewer, none of the conventional browser functions has to be disabled. Further, since the document is downloaded in encrypted form, it cannot be stored or forwarded using the conventional browser.Type: GrantFiled: May 22, 2003Date of Patent: February 17, 2009Assignee: Copyright Clearance Center, Inc.Inventors: John Deaver, Skott C.

Patent number: 7373330Abstract: In response to a request from a content server to forward an encrypted document to a recipient user, a forwarding engine in the content server prepares an e-mail message that contains a link to the document publisher and an identifier for the document. Upon receiving the e-mail, the recipient user can log onto a content server in the publisher and the publisher content server resolves the link, downloads a secure viewer program and an encrypted version of the requested document to the viewer program. Subsequently, the secure viewer program requests a decryption key for the encrypted document and decrypts the document. The recipient user can then view the document content in secure viewer but cannot copy or print the document without permission from the publisher.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 2003Date of Patent: May 13, 2008Assignee: Copyright Clearance Center, Inc.Inventor: Skott C.

Patent number: 7299500Abstract: At a publisher location, multiple encrypted documents are assembled into a distribution archive that is also encrypted. The distribution archive is then downloaded into a content server at an unsecure site. When the content server receives the distribution archive, it decrypts the archive file and unpacks the encrypted documents, which are then stored, in encrypted form, in a local document database. When a user logs into the local content server, a secure content viewer is downloaded to the user's browser. The content viewer requests a selected document from the local server, which then forwards the encrypted document to the viewer. The viewer then computes a document identifier from the encrypted document content and requests a key from the server with the identifier. The server then returns the requested key and the viewer decrypts that document and presents it in a display area controlled by the viewer.Type: GrantFiled: July 17, 2003Date of Patent: November 20, 2007Assignee: Copyright Clearance Center, Inc.Inventors: Skott C.
