Systems and Methods for Distributing, Displaying, Viewing, and Controlling Digital Art and Imaging

Abstract

System and method for displaying digital content on a display device comprising at least one digital content item, configured to be displayed on the display device, a service cloud, comprising a server, memory, and processor, configured to store the digital content item as one or more encrypted slices, and a crypto controller, running on the service cloud server, configured to download a cypher key stored in the service cloud memory. The cypher key is configured to be encoded with a unique identification corresponding to the display device and lock the digital content item to that display device. The service cloud processor is configured to retrieve the encrypted slices, assemble the slices into one or more encrypted particles, and send the encrypted particles and the cypher key to the display device for assembly by the cypher key into the digital content item using an activation code provided by the crypto controller.
