Abstract
A system and method for secure content delivery is provided. The system and method has a content system that verifies a device with a media player based on one or more properties of the device with the media player wherein the content system delivers content to the device with the media player only when the device with the media player is verified.
Claims21
A delivery system for secure content delivery to a processing unit based computing device, the delivery system comprising:
- a content system configured to receive a request from a processing unit based computing device with a media player for a piece of content from the content system over a link;
- wherein the content system further comprises:
- a content system manager that receives the request for the piece of content from the processing unit based computing device, sends a profile verification request to the processing unit based computing device, receives a profile verification request response from the processing unit based computing device, and verifies that the processing unit based computing device is authorized to access the piece of content based on the profile verification request response and a device profile of the processing unit based computing device;
- and
- a content unit that delivers the requested piece of content to the processing unit based computing device only when the processing unit based computing device is authorized to access the piece of content;
- wherein the profile verification request comprises a request for one or more properties of the device profile of the processing unit based computing device;
- and
- wherein the content system manager is configured to send a different profile verification request to the processing unit based computing device each time the processing unit based computing device requests content from the content system manager, such that each profile verification request is different in terms of number of properties requested, order of properties requested, and particular properties requested.

A method for secure content delivery to a processing unit based computing device with a media player, the method comprising:
- receiving a request from a processing unit based computing device with a media player for a piece of content;
- generating a profile request;
- transmitting the profile request to the processing unit based computing device that is requesting the piece of content;
- receiving a response to the profile request from the processing unit based computing device;
- verifying the processing unit based computing device is authorized to access the piece of content based on the response to the profile request and a device profile of the processing unit based computing device;
- and
- delivering the piece of content to the processing unit based computing device once the processing unit based computing device is verified;
- wherein the profile request comprises a request for one or more properties of the device profile of the processing unit based computing device;
- and
- wherein a different profile request is sent to the processing unit based computing device each time the processing unit based computing device requests content, such that each profile request is different in terms of number of properties requested, order of properties requested, and particular properties requested.

A system for secure content delivery from a content system to a processing unit based computing device, the system comprising:
- a processing unit based computing device with a media player that requests a piece of content from a content system over a link;
- and
- the content system further comprises:
- a content system manager that receives the request for the piece of content from the processing unit based computing device, sends a profile verification request to the processing unit based computing device, receives a profile verification request response from the processing unit based computing device, and verifies that the processing unit based computing device is authorized to access the piece of content based on the profile verification request response and a device profile of the processing unit based computing device;
- and
- a content unit that delivers the requested piece of content to the processing unit based computing device only when the processing unit based computing device is authorized to access the piece of content;
- wherein the profile verification request comprises a request for one or more properties associated with the processing unit based computing device;
- and
- wherein the content system manager is configured to send a different profile verification request to the processing unit based computing device each time the processing unit based computing device requests content from the content system manager, such that each profile verification request is different in terms of number of properties requested, order of properties requested, and particular properties requested.
