A method for managing electronic content performed by a trusted data management platform comprising a processor and a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the trusted data management platform to perform the method, the method comprising:

• receiving, by a trusted program executing in a secure execution environment of the trusted data management platform from a system wishing to access the electronic content, an identity access token and first electronic content identification information;
• sending, by the trusted program to a first file server system, a query comprising the identity access token and the first electronic content identification information;
• receiving, by the trusted program from the first file server system, a response to the query, the response comprising second electronic content identification information, electronic content file location information, an encrypted content key, content rightsholder identification information, and timestamp information;
• generating, by the trusted program, a hash binding comprising hash of a binding comprising one or more of the second electronic content identification information, the content rightsholder identification information, and the timestamp information;
• querying, by the trusted program, a ledger service with the hash binding to determine that a trusted ledger maintained by the ledger service includes the hash binding;
• decrypting, by the trusted program based on the determination, the encrypted content key with a private key associated with the secure execution environment;
• sending, by the trusted program, the decrypted content key to a digital rights management service;
• receiving, from the digital rights management service, a digital rights management token;
• and
• sending, to the system wishing to access the electronic content, the digital rights management token and the electronic file location information for use in accessing the electronic content.
