发明名称 Limiting access to a digital item
摘要 In a method for limiting access to a digital item, a count for the digital item is stored, wherein the count is a number of accesses permitted for the digital item. A password for accessing the digital item is received. A plurality of password hashes is generated by utilizing one-way hash functions based on the number of accesses of the count and the password to generate the plurality of password hashes based on the count. The plurality of password hashes is stored in a password hash file.

主权项 1. A computer-implemented method for limiting access to a digital item, the method comprising: storing a count for the digital item in an access count file by a computer, where the count is a number of accesses permitted for the digital item by a user; receiving a password of the user for accessing the digital item at the computer; generating a plurality of password hashes by the computer by utilizing a one-way hash function based on the number of accesses of the count and the password, to generate the plurality of password hashes based on the count; storing the plurality of password hashes in a password hash file by the computer; receiving a request to access the digital item at the computer, the request comprising the password; accessing the count for the digital item by the computer from the access count file; performing the one-way hash function on the password based on the number of accesses of the count, to generate an access password hash based on the count; validating the request by comparing the plurality of password hashes to the access password hash; provided a password hash of the plurality of password hashes matches the access password hash, granting access to the digital item; and responsive to the granting access to the digital item, decrementing the count and deleting the password hash matching the access password hash from the password hash file.
