Method and system for digital rights management of documents

A system comprising:

• a processor;
• a memory;
• the memory comprising instructions executed by the processor and configured for:
• receiving, by the processor at a server, sending platform information from a sending platform, wherein the sending platform comprises a sending platform application to send the sending platform information;
• validating the sending platform using the sending platform information, wherein, after the validating the sending platform, the sending platform encrypts, using the sending platform application, content into a cryptocontainer that is sent to a receiving platform;
• receiving, by the processor, receiving platform information from the receiving platform, wherein the receiving platform comprises a receiving platform application;
• and
• validating the receiving platform using the receiving platform information by comparing, at a server, the receiving platform information to a recipient list associated with the crvptocontainer;
• and
• transmitting, to the receiving platform in response to comparing the receiving platform information to the recipient list, a set of keys configured to decrypt the cryptocontainer, wherein, after transmitting the set of keys, the receiving platform decrypts the cryptocontainer using the set of keys and accesses the content decrypted from the cryptocontainer in accordance with a set of usage rights that are associated with cryptocontainer and enforced by the receiving platform, wherein the set of usage rights define a usage rights timeline during which the content is accessible at the receiving platform.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions configured to execute on a processor, the instructions comprising functionality to perform:

• receiving, by a server, sending platform information from a sending platform, \wherein the sending platform comprises a sending platform application to send the sending platform information;
• validating the sending platform using the sending platform information, wherein, after the validating the sending platform, the sending platform encrypts, using the sending platform application, content into a cryptocontainer that is sent to a receiving platform;
• validating the receiving platform using the receiving platform information by comparing, at the server, the receiving platform information to a recipient list associated with the cryptocontainer;
• and
• transmitting, to the receiving platform in response to comparing the receiving platform information to the recipient list, a set of keys configured to decrypt the cryptocontainer, wherein, after transmitting the set of keys, the receiving platform decrypts the cryptocontainer using the set of keys and accesses the content decrypted from the cryptocontainer in accordance with a set of usage rights that are associated with cryptocontainer and enforced by the receiving platform, wherein the set of usage rights define a usage rights timeline during which the content is accessible at the receiving platform.
