Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that facilitates marking content during distribution of the content to a client. The system starts by receiving a request for the content from the client at the server and then obtaining a content identifier for the content. Next, the server generates a version identifier that uniquely identifies the version of the content that is sent to the client. Once the version identifier has been generated, the server stores the version identifier in a database along with information to facilitate identification of the requesting client. Finally, the server creates the version of the content by marking the content with the version identifier and delivers the version to the client. Note that the markings on the content facilitate subsequent identification of the client by examining the version of the content.

Abstract: A configuration for preventing information leakage in content use involving data transfer between different devices and illegal content processing is provided. In a content reproduction or recording process involving data transfer between different devices, such as a drive and a host, a media ID (disc ID) used for a content encryption or decryption process is read from a medium. The drive verifies whether the media ID has been recorded in such a manner as to correspond to a header code set on a correct valid medium. When the medium is confirmed to be a valid medium by the verification, on the drive side, the media ID is encrypted and output to the host. With this configuration outside leakage of the media ID, and a content reproduction or recording process using an invalid medium can be prevented.

Abstract: There are two different methods of embedding supplemental data, e.g. for watermarking into an encoded signal. I. For an encoder, which needs auxiliary information for encoding (=probability information in this special case), the auxiliary information to encode the supplemental data is derived from data used otherwise in the encoding process. The advantage is that the derived auxiliary data does not have to be stored, so that embedding the supplemental data is economical with respect to the total amount of bits used. II. In the encoding process used for super Audio CD, a set of parameters (e.g. filter coefficients) is used by the encoder, whereby these parameters have to be stored, as they are needed for decoding. To embed supplemental data, at least one of the chosen parameters (e.g. the LSB of the first coefficient) is set to a dedicated value in response to the value of the supplemental data to be embedded. The advantage is that the bit rate will not be affected at all.

Abstract: A digital data file encryption apparatus and method, where a digital data server identifies the user and supplies an encrypted digital data file to the user in accordance with the identified result. A personal computer decrypts the encrypted digital data file supplied from the digital data server and reproduces the decrypted digital data file or re-encrypts it using an encryption key. The encryption key is generated on the basis of an identification number of a data storage medium or digital data playing device. A digital data playing device stores the re-encrypted digital data file downloaded from the personal computer in the data storage medium and decrypts the stored digital data file using the encryption key to reproduce it. A first internal key is added to the identification number to convert the identification number into the encryption key, which is then encrypted according to an encryption algorithm based on a second internal key.

This abstract is not to be considered limiting, since other embodiments may deviate from the features described in this abstract.

Abstract: A characteristic amount is retained and calculated from an entered video signal. Embedment intensity is retained and calculated from the retained characteristic amount. Embedment information is embedded as digital watermarks into the entered video signal in accordance with the retained embedment intensity of the previous frame or field that is located at a position earlier in time than a target image subject to digital watermark embedment. As a result, an output signal of video having the digital watermarks embedded therein is produced. The digital watermarks are embedded into the target image with reference to another image located at a position earlier in time than the target image. Such digital watermark embedment suppresses a delay in output of an output image with reference to an input image.

Abstract: Often, during an event, such as a movie, play, concert, opera, etc., viewers of the event attempt to illicitly record the event. Such illicit recording attempts may be interfered with by using emitters that emit radiation that interferes with recording and/or operation of the recording devices. For example, infrared emitters may be used to saturate an event viewing area. The infrared, while non-visible to human viewers, is received and recorded by recorders using charge-coupled devices (CCDs), such as conventional digital cameras, movie cameras, television cameras, telescopes, etc. Other radiation can be emitted based on the type of recorder with which one desires to interfere. Alternatively, or in addition thereto, emitters may also be used to send commands to recorders, such as stop, rewind, eject, etc., to interfere with operation of the recorders.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of storing data on a rewritable data storage medium, to a corresponding storage medium, to a corresponding recording apparatus and to a corresponding playback apparatus. Copy-protective measures require that on rewritable storage media some data must be stored which shall not be modifiable or erasable by consumer end products. A practical problem is the storage of large quantities of such data in a fixed data area. Typically the capacity is limited to a few bits. Meanwhile the amount of copy protection data that needs to be stored may well exceed the storage capacity available in the read-only fixed data area. The invention therefore proposes to write the copy protection data as system data in the recordable data area (4), e.g. as part of the formatting of the medium (1).

Abstract: A method for hardening an extensible firmware framework and system in which the framework is implemented. In accordance with the method, a resource access policy that defines rules to allow or disallow access to designated system resources, such as memory and I/O, is defined. During execution of firmware-based event handlers, event handler code may seek to access a designated system resource. In response thereto, access to the system resource may be determined based on a security status of a firmware-based event handler in consideration of any applicable rules defined by the resource access policy. For example, a resource access policy may allow only secure event handlers to access selected portions of memory, while preventing non-secure event handlers from accessing the same. In this manner, errant and malicious event handlers are prevented from damaging critical resources.

Abstract: An anti-piracy software licensing system associates a license file with a particular software product, so that the license file cannot be used with a separate product. The license is associated with one and only one product by associating an Installer Identifier (IID) with the license file. At installation, a set-up or installation program can be executed to install the software product. The set-up program will generate an IID based on a characteristic of the media and will check the generated IID against the IID stored in a license file on the same media. A match will verify that the license file on the media (i.e., the media license file) was not tampered with prior to installation and that the license file was intended to be used with the software product on the media. However, if there is not a match, then the installation will be terminated. At run-time the locally stored license file will be checked. If the license file is present, execution of the software product will be enabled.
