Abstract

A digital certification system (or “analyzer”) provides protection for digital content stored on servers, file sharing systems, hard drives and USB enabled external drives or other digital repositories. The analyzer prevents unauthorized access from both owners/administrators and recipients of digital content being shared through a web based or file sharing type service. The analyzer protects the owner of the shared digital content from unauthorized access, while allowing multiple protection instances to be applied to multiple digital content shares within a digital file hosting and sharing environment. Timers are provided to limit access to digital content at the discretion of the owner of the digital content.
