Abstract
This is a system for controlling and restricting access (reading, writing, creating, deleting, manipulating, and control) to data and data representations of arbitrary processing engines through the use of secure containers, an access processing engine, and cryptographic keys.
Claims19
A user device comprising:
- a secure container comprising program instructions, wherein the program instructions are secured in the secure container through one or more cryptographic keys;
- and
- an access processing engine, wherein the access processing engine controls access to the secure container and launches the program instructions in accordance with rules received from a rules management engine.
A method of piracy prevention and usage control, the method implemented on a user device, the method comprising steps of:
- receiving, at the user device, program instructions;
- storing, at the user device, the program instructions in a secure container;
- receiving, at the user device, rules received from a rules management engine;
- determining, at the user device, whether the rules grant permission to launch the program instructions;
- and
- launching, at the user device, the program instructions if permission is granted.
