Secure subsystems used with such electronic appliances provide a distributed virtual distribution environment (VDE) that may implement a secure chain of handling and control, for example, to control and/or meter or otherwise monitor use of electronically stored or disseminated information. Such a virtual distribution environment may be used to protect rights of various participants in electronic commerce and other electronic or electronic-facilitated transactions. Secure distributed and other operating system environments and architectures, employing, for example, secure semiconductor processing arrangements that may establish secure, protected environments at each node. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI |
