Watermark extraction and content screening in a networked environment

A device, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory, including processor executable code, the processor executable code when executed by the processor configures the device to:
• receive a request for access to a content at a first device from a second device, the first device operating in a network;
• perform device authentication to ascertain a trusted status associated with one or both of the first and the second devices;
• and
• determine an operational configuration for performing watermark extraction and content screening operations using one or more trusted devices.

A computer program product, embodied on a non-transitory computer readable medium, comprising:

• program code for receiving a request for access to a content at a first device from a second device, the first device operating in a network;
• program code for performing device authentication to ascertain a trusted status associated with one or both of the first and the second devices;
• and
• program code for determining an operational configuration for performing watermark extraction and content screening operations using one or more trusted devices.

A method, comprising:

• transmitting a request for access to a content from a second device to a first device, the first device operating in a network;
• performing device authentication to ascertain a trusted status associated with the first device;
• and
• determining an operational configuration for performing watermark extraction and content screening operations using one or more trusted devices.

A method, comprising:

• receiving a request for access to a content at a gateway device configured to coordinate operations of a plurality of devices within a network, wherein the request is received from a second device for access to the content that is accessible to the first device, and wherein the first device is configured to operate within the network;
• coordinating, at the gateway device, device authentication to ascertain a trusted status associated with one or both of the first and second devices;
• and
• determining, at the gateway device, an operational configuration for performing watermark extraction and content screening operations using of one or more trusted devices.
