A game identifier of an encrypted streaming electronic game to be streamed to a playback device may be received. The game identifier may comprise a title of the encrypted streaming electronic game. An electronic ticket for access by the playback device to a secured portion of the encrypted streaming electronic game may be gathered. The electronic ticket may specify a first gameplay state. The electronic ticket may be used to access the secured portion of the encrypted streaming electronic game at the first gameplay state. One or more gameplay actions to transform the encrypted streaming electronic game to a second gameplay state may be received. The second gameplay state may be provided to a state server, where the state server configured to instruct a license server to modify the electronic ticket to specify the second gameplay state for the encrypted streaming electronic game.

Embodiments of the invention are directed to systems, methods, and computer program products for onboarding digital content to a platform designed specifically for seamless creation and user-friendly management of non-fungible tokens. The invention allows for users with zero knowledge of decentralized protocols to leverage the benefits of such technologies by providing a system for uploading existing digital content, automating the creation of one or more non-fungible tokens, managing permissioned access to the non-fungible tokens, and facilitating the ownership transfer of the non-fungible tokens.

A system and method including determining a location of a creator's creator computing device and determining a location of a follower's follower computing device. Digital media is then customized to create customized digital media, based at least in part on an in-person interaction between the creator and the follower. The in-person interaction is based at least upon the location of the creator computing device and the location of the follower computing device. The customizing includes including the location of the creator computing device and the location of the follower computing device.

A method comprises receiving a session identifier from a streaming system that identifies a user session with the streaming system. The method further includes receiving a first message from a streaming system that is based on a token that is generated based on a combination of the session identifier and a timestamp at which an insertable content item was presented to the user in a content stream by the streaming system. The first message is decrypted using a plurality of timestamps that are within a range of a current time. An identifier is determined for the insertable content item based on the decrypted message. A second message is transmitted to an enabling system, the message including instructions for execution by the enabling system to execute one or more operations with the identified insertable content item.

An encryption method includes an operation method of an encryption system and is a method of encrypting encryption target information.

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for allowing suitable digital components to be automatically selected and provided to a client device. Methods can include generating a universal identifier for a digital component that is presented in the application. The application updates a set of universal identifiers that has been created for digital components presented by the application over a specified time period. The application identifies digital components and the corresponding universal identifiers that are blocked and generates a probabilistic data structure representing the set of blocked universal identifiers. The application creates multiple shares of the probabilistic data structure and transmits different shares to different servers. The application receives a separate response generated by each of the different servers based on the multiple shares and identifies a digital component to present in the application based on a combination of the separate responses.

A cloud-based system and method for encrypting media content is disclosed. The system comprises a key server microservice, for receiving control word requests and for generating encoded control words and a software encryption microservice, communicatively coupled to the key server microservices, the encryption microservice for receiving the media content, for generating the control word requests, for receiving the encoded control words, and for white-box encrypting the media content according to the generated encoded control words.

Techniques for server control of client authorization proof of possession are described herein. In various embodiments, a first server provisions client authorization proof of possession for a client device a real-world time, a client public key, and a client private key. The first server generates provisioning response message(s) including the client public key, the client private key, the real-world time, and/or an assertion object, and sends the message(s) to the client device. In various embodiments, a client device obtains an authorization proof token generated based on a client public key, a client private key, and a real-world time provisioned by a first server. The client device generates a request and sends the request to a second server, the request includes the authorization proof token and an assertion object from the first server signed by a server private key and an expiration time and a reference to the client public key.

Systems and methods for quick start-up of playback in accordance with embodiments of the invention are disclosed. Media content may be encoded in a plurality of alternative streams and a quick start-up stream. The quick start-up stream may include media content that is encoded at a lower quality that the alternative streams and may be encrypted with a different, less secure encryption process than that of the alternative streams. During a start-up of playback, the playback device streams the media content from a quick start-up stream until a metric, such as a decryption key for the alternative streams is met. The device then streams the media content from the alternative streams in response to the metric being met.

A novel method and instruction set for storing and trading Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), on Bitcoin blockchain. As proof of NFT ownership, proposed methods allow a user to perform the following operations with an NFT: (1) store NFT token on Bitcoin blockchain; (2) securely associate NFT data unit with digital assets (photos, video, audio, digital documents, etc.); (3) grouping many NFT tokens together to a collection with a single unique identifier; (4) safely sell and buy an NFT using Bitcoin ecosystem. These actions and validation of the transactions are performed using Bitcoin transactions.
