Method and apparatus to provide an authoring tool to create content for a secure content service

A system comprising:

• an authoring tool including an input device to enable a user to create a feed of content and to selectively encrypt at least a portion of the content as it is added to the feed of content to create clear-text content and encrypted content in the feed, the encryption including an entitlement with the feed of content, the entitlement restricting access to the encrypted content;
• the authoring tool to further enable encryption of the entitlement;
• a reading tool including an output device to access various content, the reading tool to enable an integrated reading of clear-text content and encrypted content in the feed;
• a secure content service to compare, using a microprocessor, a profile of a reading user to the entitlement;
• upon a successful authorization of the reading user, identify a filter specification specified at least in part in the encrypted entitlement;
• perform at least one of actions (i) determine the encrypted content meets the filter specifications related to release time and (ii) apply the specified filter to restrict access rights of encrypted content;
• and
• provide, using a microprocessor, a decryption key to the authorized reading user to decrypt the encrypted content.
