Abstract

Systems, methods, and media for providing secure content information are provided. In some embodiments, systems for providing secure content information are provided, the systems comprising: a processor that creates a payload, creates a validation value, securely stores the validation value in association with a content distribution, and stores the payload in association with the content distribution. In some embodiments, systems for providing secure content information are provided, the systems comprising: a processor that receives a payload associated with a content distribution, creates a first validation value for the payload, recovers a second validation value associated with the content distribution, compares the first validation value and the second validation value, and determines if the payload has been tampered with.

Claims (54)

1 . A system for providing secure content information comprising:

a processor that creates a payload, creates a validation value, securely stores the validation value in association with a content distribution, and stores the payload in association with the content distribution.

2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the validation value is stored in a watermark in the content distribution.

3 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor also stores a methodology used to create the validation value in association with the content distribution.

4 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the validation value comprises a hash of the payload.

5 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the validation value comprises a checksum of the payload.

6 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the payload is stored in metadata in the content distribution.

7 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the content distribution is optical media.

8 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the content distribution is a media file.

9 . A system for providing secure content information comprising:

a processor that receives a payload associated with a content distribution, creates a first validation value for the payload, recovers a second validation value associated with the content distribution, compares the first validation value and the second validation value, and determines if the payload has been tampered with.

10 . The system of claim 9 , wherein the second validation value is recovered from a watermark in the content distribution.

11 . The system of claim 9 , wherein the processor also determines a methodology used to create the second validation value and uses the methodology to create the first validation value.

12 . The system of claim 9 , wherein the validation value comprises a hash of the payload.

13 . The system of claim 9 , wherein the validation value comprises a checksum of the payload.

14 . The system of claim 9 , wherein the payload is stored in metadata in the content distribution.

15 . The system of claim 9 , wherein the content distribution is optical media.

16 . The system of claim 9 , wherein the content distribution is a media file.

17 . A method for providing secure content information comprising:

creating a payload;

creating a validation value;

securely storing the validation value in association with a content distribution; and

storing the payload in association with the content distribution.

18 . The method of claim 17 , wherein the validation value is stored in a watermark in the content distribution.

19 . The method of claim 17 , further comprising storing a methodology used to create the validation value in association with the content distribution.

20 . The method of claim 17 , wherein the validation value comprises a hash of the payload.

21 . The method of claim 17 , wherein the validation value comprises a checksum of the payload.

22 . The method of claim 17 , wherein the payload is stored in metadata in the content distribution.

23 . The method of claim 17 , wherein the content distribution is optical media.

24 . The method of claim 17 , wherein the content distribution is a media file.

25 . A method for providing secure content information comprising:

receiving a payload associated with a content distribution;

creating a first validation value for the payload;

recovering a second validation value associated with the content distribution;

comparing the first validation value and the second validation value; and

determining if the payload has been tampered with.

26 . The method of claim 25 , wherein the second validation value is recovered from a watermark in the content distribution.

27 . The method of claim 25 , further comprising determining a methodology used to create the second validation value and using the methodology to create the first validation value.

28 . The method of claim 25 , wherein the validation value comprises a hash of the payload.

29 . The method of claim 25 , wherein the validation value comprises a checksum of the payload.

30 . The method of claim 25 , wherein the payload is stored in metadata in the content distribution.

31 . The method of claim 25 , wherein the content distribution is optical media.

32 . The method of claim 25 , wherein the content distribution is a media file.

33 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a method for providing secure content information, the method comprising:

creating a payload;

creating a validation value;

securely storing the validation value in association with a content distribution; and

storing the payload in association with the content distribution.

34 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a method for providing secure content information, the method comprising:

receiving a payload associated with a content distribution;

creating a first validation value for the payload;

recovering a second validation value associated with the content distribution;

comparing the first validation value and the second validation value; and

determining if the payload has been tampered with.
