METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR LIMITING ACCESS TO DATA BY PROCESS OR COMPUTER FUNCTION WITH STATELESS ENCRYPTION

摘要

Systems and methods related to DRM content usage mechanisms for both online and offline usage of content are disclosed, including systems providing secure access to data regardless of network state or connectivity state to the networked access control mechanism. An access control mechanism having a secondary offline access control mechanism is presented, further including multiple implementations for data encapsulation, as well as providing a method for writes to files and to the filesystem itself by externally created applications with no API or modification to their operation.
