Executable Sensor Authentication for DRM Security
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current digital rights management (DRM) systems are inadequate in preventing piracy and copying of digital content, as they burden legitimate users with registration requirements while being easily circumvented by pirates.
Innovation Solution
A system that employs a modified permission access device with a processor, memory, and data storage, using an executable sensor and vault to securely authenticate and authorize access to data, ensuring it can only be accessed on registered devices and monitoring for anomalies to prevent unauthorized access.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If DRM schemes require device registration to control piracy, then data security is improved, but user convenience deteriorates due to registration burdens
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs automatic authentication and device registration without requiring manual user intervention. The executable sensor autonomously verifies device legitimacy and registers the device with the server, eliminating the need for users to manually complete registration forms or enter authentication codes.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces manual registration processes with automated electronic authentication mechanisms. Instead of mechanical user actions (filling forms, clicking buttons), the system uses executable code and sensor-based verification to automatically authenticate devices and register them with the server.
2Ease of operation
If DRM schemes use simple registration methods, then user convenience is improved, but piracy prevention capability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary executable sensor that acts as a bridge between the user device and the DRM system. This sensor serves as an additional authentication layer that automatically verifies device legitimacy without burdening the user, while providing robust piracy prevention through cryptographic verification and server-side validation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary authentication and device verification before granting access to protected content. The executable sensor is launched and validated in advance, and the device is registered with the server before any copyrighted material is delivered, ensuring security measures are in place before potential piracy risks arise.
3Reliability
If the system monitors for anomalies to prevent unauthorized access, then security is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The executable sensor autonomously monitors the system environment for anomalies without requiring external intervention or complex configuration. It self-manages the authentication process, continuously verifies device integrity, and automatically reports suspicious activities to the server, simplifying the overall system architecture despite enhanced security capabilities.
Data Source
AI summary
A system, method, and device includes a platform data storage that stores a wrap that secures an executable controller and executable sensors. The wrap is verified, optionally through a downloaded authentication driver. After verifying the wrap, the wrap is opened and a sister of the executable controller is installed into the platform memory to cooperate with the executable controller. Additionally or alternatively, the authentication driver may cooperate with the executable controller. The executable controller allows the platform processor to access data secured in a vault and/or verify the platform to create a connection to an application server.
