A method authenticates at least one of a media and data stored on the media in order to prevent at least one of piracy, unauthorized access and unauthorized copying of the data stored on the media. At least one predetermined error is introduced with the data resulting in mixed data. The mixed data is optionally stored on the media. The at least one predetermined error includes at least one authentication key or component thereof, for authenticating whether the media and/or data is authorized. The method includes the following sequential, non-sequential and/or sequence independent steps: reading the mixed data from the media, detecting the at least one predetermined error from the mixed data, and comparing the at least one predetermined error to the at least one authentication key or component thereof. The method also includes the steps of authenticating the media and/or the data in the mixed data responsive to the comparing, removing the at least one predetermined error from the mixed data resulting in substantially the data, and outputting the data as at least one of audio, video, audio data, video data and digital data substantially free of the at least one predetermined error.
A method for authenticating at least one of a media and data stored on said media in order to prevent at least one of piracy, unauthorized access and unauthorized copying of the data stored on said media, wherein predetermined errors are introduced with the data into mixed data and storing the mixed data on said media, the predetermined errors comprising at least one authentication key or component thereof, for authenticating whether the at least one of said media and data is authorized, said method comprising the steps of:
A method for authenticating at least one of a media and data stored on said media in order to prevent at least one of piracy, unauthorized access and unauthorized copying of the data stored on said media, wherein at least one predetermined error is introduced with the data into mixed data and storing the mixed data on said media, the at least one predetermined error comprising at least one authentication key or component thereof, for authenticating whether the at least one of said media and data is authorized;
In a method for authenticating at least one of a media and data stored on said media in order to prevent at least one of piracy, unauthorized access and unauthorized copying of the data stored on said media, wherein at least one predetermined error is introduced with the data into mixed data and storing the mixed data on said media, the at least one predetermined error comprising at least one authentication key or component thereof, for authenticating whether the at least one of said media and data is authorized, a data player comprising a data processor performing the steps of:
A data message signal embodied in a processor readable memory and useable for authenticating data stored on at least one media to prevent at least one of piracy, unauthorized access and unauthorized copying of the data stored on said media, said data message signal comprising at least one predetermined error introduced in the data message signal comprising a mixed data message, the at least one predetermined error comprising at least one authentication key or component thereof, used in authenticating whether the data message signal is authorized, said at least one predetermined error being sufficiently minimal such that the at least one predetermined error is capable of being removed from the data message signal without substantially altering an audible component thereof, and said data message signal being transmitted substantially free of the at least one predetermined error to prevent a destination processor receiving the audible component of the data message signal from receiving the at least one authentication key or component thereof, and whereby the transmitted data message signal is used in preventing unauthorized access to the data by preventing the destination processor from authenticating whether the audible component of the data message signal is authorized.
A data message signal stored on a computer-readable medium and accessible by a destination processor for authenticating data stored on said computer-readable medium in order to prevent at least one of piracy, unauthorized access, and unauthorized copying of the data stored on said computer-readable medium, said data message signal comprising:
