METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CONTROLLING THE ILLEGAL CIRCULATION OF PROTECTED WORKS IN A DIGITAL DATA TRANSMISSION NETWORK

摘要

The aim of the invention is to protect against the illegal circulation of files in point-to-point networks. To this end, the inventive method comprises the following steps: simulated user terminals (52) are activated on a plurality of point-to-point networks by protection platforms (10) which are connected in different points of the network (1), corrupt versions of files to be protected having characteristics that are identical to those of the files to be protected are generated, and the versions corrupted by at least one simulated user terminal are shared out by at least one of the protection platforms (10).
