Abstract

In an example, there is disclosed a system and method for a two-device scrambled display. A first device displays content in a scrambled form. A second device acts as an interpreter, including an input driver for receiving a scrambled input; an output driver for displaying an organically perceptible output; and one or more logic elements comprising a unscrambling engine operable for: receiving an input on the input driver; detecting that at least a portion of the input is scrambled; unscrambling the scrambled portion of the input; and outputting an unscrambled analog of the scrambled input via the output driver.

Claims (40)

1 . An interpreter apparatus, comprising:

an input driver for receiving a scrambled input;

an output driver for displaying an organically perceptible output; and

one or more logic elements comprising a unscrambling engine operable for:

receiving an input on the input driver;

detecting that at least a portion of the input is scrambled;

unscrambling the scrambled portion of the input; and

outputting an unscrambled analog of the scrambled input via the output driver.

2 . The computing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the input driver is a video driver.

3 . The computing apparatus of claim 2 , wherein receiving the input comprises capturing a digitized image of the input.

4 . The computing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the input driver is an audio driver.

5 . The computing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein recognizing that at least a portion of the input is scrambled comprises recognizing an embedded token in the scrambled portion.

6 . The computing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein recognizing that at least a portion of the input is scrambled comprises receiving an explicit identification of the scrambled portion.

7 . The computing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the unscrambling engine is further operable for performing a one-time key provisioning with a key server.

8 . The computing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein unscrambling the scrambled portion comprises receiving a one-time key.

9 . The computing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein unscrambling the scrambled portion comprises receiving a key with a timed expiry.

10 . The computing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein unscrambling the scrambled portion comprises syncing with a key server or client device and receiving a decryption key.

11 . The computing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein unscrambling the scrambled portion comprises extracting data from a decoy display.

12 . The computing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein unscrambling the scrambled portion comprises extracting steganographically-encoded data from a decoy display.

13 . The computing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the unscrambling engine is operable for performing a sync with a key server or a client device, and wherein unscrambling the scrambled portion comprises receiving a one-time decryption key.

14 . One or more non-transitory computer-readable mediums having stored thereon instructions operable for instructing one or more processors for providing a unscrambling engine, operable for:

receiving an input on an input driver;

detecting that at least a portion of the input is scrambled;

unscrambling the scrambled portion of the input; and

outputting an organically perceptible unscrambled analog of the scrambled input via an output driver.

15 . The one or more tangible, non-transitory computer-readable mediums of claim 14 , wherein receiving the input comprises capturing a digitized image of the input via a video driver.

16 . The one or more tangible, non-transitory computer-readable mediums of claim 14 , wherein receiving the input comprises capturing an audio stream via an audio driver.

17 . The one or more tangible, non-transitory computer-readable mediums of claim 14 , wherein recognizing that at least a portion of the input is scrambled comprises recognizing an embedded token in the scrambled portion.

18 . T The one or more tangible, non-transitory computer-readable mediums of claim 14 , wherein recognizing that at least a portion of the input is scrambled comprises receiving an explicit identification of the scrambled portion.

19 . The one or more tangible, non-transitory computer-readable mediums of claim 14 , wherein the unscrambling engine is further operable for performing a one-time key provisioning with a key server.

20 . The one or more tangible, non-transitory computer-readable mediums of claim 14 , wherein unscrambling the scrambled portion comprises receiving a one-time key.

21 . The one or more tangible, non-transitory computer-readable mediums of claim 14 , wherein unscrambling the scrambled portion comprises receiving a key with a timed expiry.

22 . The one or more tangible, non-transitory computer-readable mediums of claim 14 , wherein unscrambling the scrambled portion comprises syncing with a key server or client device and receiving a decryption key.

23 . The one or more tangible, non-transitory computer-readable mediums of claim 14 , wherein unscrambling the scrambled portion comprises extracting data from a decoy display.

24 . A computing apparatus, comprising:

an output driver for a human-perceptible output; and

one or more logic elements comprising a scrambling engine operable for:

scrambling an output via an encryption key; and

outputting the scrambled output via the output driver.

25 . The computing apparatus of claim 24 , wherein outputting the scrambled output via the output driver comprises outputting a decoy output display.
