Abstract:
A cryptographic system splits a digital message into multiple parts, and scrambles sequencing of the multiple parts according to an algorithm requiring first and second keys to resolve. The keys can be related by a graphically recognizable mathematical formula, and can be implemented by a third party or other secure key management infrastructure, and can support pay-per-play subscription models. Scrambled messages can be stored on a CD, DVD or other memory, with the multiple parts being distributed on different storage hosts. Contemplated messages include digitized video or other movies, books, music, or any other type of information. Messages can be split according to color separations, video and audio tracts, frequency ranges, or in any other manner. Splitting of the message into the multiple parts can be used as a fingerprint in identifying a creator of the message.
