`barrier that is removed with electronic distribution is the
`requirement of the tangible recordable medium itself (e.g.,
`diskettes or CD ROMs). It costs money to copy digital
`content on to tangible media, albeit, in many cases less than
`a dollar for a blank tape or recordable CD. However, in the
`case of electronic distribution, the tangible medium is no
`longer needed. The cost of the tangible medium is not a
`factor because content is distributed electronically. A Second
`barrier, is the format of the content itself i.e. is the content
`Stored in an analog format versus a digital format. Content
`Stored in an analog format, for example, a printed picture,
`when reproduced by photocopying, the copy is of lesser
`quality than the original. Each Subsequent copy of a copy,
`Sometimes called a generation, is of less quality than the
`original. This degradation in quality is not present when a
`picture is Stored digitally. Each copy, and every generation
`of copies can be as clear and crisp as the original. The
`aggregate effect of perfect digital copies combined with the
`very low cost to distribute content electronically and to
`distribute content widely over the Internet makes it rela
`tively easy pirate and distribute unauthorized copies. With a
`couple of keystrokes, a pirate can Send hundred or even of
`thousands of perfect copies of digital content over the
`Internet. Therefore a need exists to ensure the protection and
`Security of digital assets distributed electronically.
`Providers of digital content desire to establish a Secure,
`global distribution System for digital content that protects
`the rights of content owners. The problems with establishing
`a digital content distribution System includes developing
`Systems for digital content electronic distribution, rights
`management, and asset protection. Digital content that is
`distributed electronically includes content Such as print
`media, films, games, programs, television, multimedia, and
`music.
`The deployment of an electronic distribution System pro
`vides the Digital Content Providers the ability to achieve fast
`Settlement of payment through immediate Sales reporting
`and electronic reconciliation as well as gain Secondary
`Sources of revenue through redistribution of content. Since
`the electronic digital content distribution System is not
`affected by physical inventory outages or returns, the Digital
`Content Providers and retailers may realize reduced costs
`and improved margins. Digital Content Providers could
`facilitate new, or augment existing, distribution channels for
`better timed-release of inventory. The transactional data
`from the electronic distribution system could be used to
`obtain information regarding consumer buying patterns as
`well as to provide immediate feedback on electronic mar
`keting programs and promotions. In order to meet these
`goals, a need exists for Digital Content Providers to use an
`electronic distribution model to make digital content avail
`able to a wide range of users and businesses while ensuring
`protection and metering of digital assets.
`Other commercially available electronic distribution sys
`tems for digital content, Such as real audio, A2B from AT&T,
`Liquid Audio Pro Corp. from Liquid Audio Pro, City Music
`Network from Audio Soft and others offer transmission of
`digital data over Secured and unsecured electronic networkS.
`The use of Secured electronic networks greatly reduces the
`requirement of Digital Content Providers of distributing
`digital to a wide audience. The use of unsecured networks
`such as the Internet and Web allows the digital content to
`arrive to an end-user Securely Such as through the use of
`encryption. However, once the encrypted digital content is
`de-encrypted on the end-user's machine, the digital content
`is readily available to the end-user for unauthorized
`re-distribution. Therefore a need exists for a Secure digital

`BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

`
`1. Field of the Invention
`The invention disclosed broadly relates to the field of
`electronic commerce and more particularly to a System and
`related tools for the Secure delivery and rights management
`of digital assets, Such as print media, films, games, and
`music over global communications networkS Such as the
`Internet and the World Wide Web.
`2. Description of the Related Art
`The use of global distribution systems such as the Internet
`for distribution of digital assets Such as music, film, com
`60
`puter programs, pictures, games and other content continues
`to grow. At the same time owners and publishers of valuable
`digital content have been slow to embrace the use of the
`Internet for distribution of digital assets for Several reasons.
`One reason is that owners are afraid of unauthorized copying
`or pirating of digital content. The electronic delivery of
`digital content removes Several barriers to pirating. One

`content electronic distribution System that provides protec
`tion of digital assets and ensures that the Content Provider
`(s) rights are protected even after the digital content is
`delivered to consumers and businesses. A need thus exists
`for rights management to allow for Secure delivery, licensing
`authorization, and control of the usage of digital assets.
`Another reason owners of digital content have been Slow
`to embrace electronic distribution is their desire to maintain
`and foster existing channels of distribution. Most content
`owners Sell through retailers. In the music market these U.S.
`retailers include Tower Records, Peaches, Blockbuster, Cir
`cuit City and others. Many of these retailers have Web sites
`that allow Internet users to makes Selections over the Inter
`net and have Selections mailed to the end-user. Example
`music Web sites include (Otower, Music Boulevard and
`Columbia House. The use of electronic distribution can
`remove the ability of the retail stores from differentiating
`themselves from each other and differentiate themselves
`from the content owners, especially on the Web. Therefore
`a need exists to provide retailers of electronic content Such
`as pictures, games, music, programs and VideoS a way to
`differentiate themselves from each other and the content
`owners when Selling music through electronic distribution.
`Further information on the background of protecting
`digital content can be found from the following three

`SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
`Briefly, in accordance with the present invention, dis
`closed is a method and apparatus of Securely providing data
`to a user's System. The data is encrypted So as to only be
`decryptable by a data decrypting key, the data decrypting
`key being encrypted using a first public key, and the
`encrypted data being accessible to the user's System, the
`method comprising the Steps of transferring the encrypted
`data decrypting key to a clearing house that possesses a first
`private key, which corresponds to the first public key;
`decrypting the data decrypting key using the first private
`key, re-encrypting the data decrypting key usingia Second
`public key; transferring the re-encrypted data decrypting key
`to the user's System, the user's System possessing a Second
`private key, which corresponds to the Second public key; and
`decrypting the re-encrypted data decrypting key using the
`Second private key.
