Abstract
A method and system for delivering encoded content are provided. A holdback representing a portion of the encoded content is extracted, thereby damaging the encoded content. The damaged encoded content is distributed. The holdback is transmitted to enable reintegration of the holdback with the damaged encoded content to restore the encoded content.
Claims18
A computer-implemented method of delivering encoded content, comprising:
- encrypting the encoded content using a computing device, an encryption key and a cipher block chain method to provide encrypted encoded content;
- extracting, using the computing device, one or more segments of data from the encrypted encoded content to provide deconstituted encrypted encoded content;
- and
- prior to, or upon, authorization, distributing said deconstituted encrypted encoded content to a recipient.
A computer-implemented method for providing access to encoded content, comprising:
- receiving deconstituted encrypted encoded content;
- upon authorization for accessing the encoded content:
- receiving one or more segments of data extracted from encrypted encoded content, a decryption key and a re-integration map that specifies how to reintegrate the one or more segments of data into the deconstituted encrypted encoded content to provide the encrypted encoded content;
- reintegrating the one or more segments of data into the deconstituted encrypted encoded content, according to the re-integration map, to restore the encrypted encoded content;
- and
- decrypting the restored encrypted encoded content to provide the encoded content.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium, comprising instructions that, when executed by a processor of a computing device, cause the computing device to:
- encrypt encoded content using a computing device, an encryption key and a cipher block chain method to provide encrypted encoded content;
- extract, using the computing device, one or more segments of data from the encrypted encoded content to provide deconstituted encrypted encoded content;
- and
- prior to, or upon, authorization, distribute said deconstituted encrypted encoded content to a recipient.
