EMPATHIC VALIDATION - A METHOD FOR SECURING DIGITAL ASSETS

摘要

The invention provides a method and system for sharing digital assets between solution providers (120A ... 120N) and solution shoppers (100A ... 100N) using a solution broker (110). A session is initiated between the solution providers (120A ... 120N) and the solution shoppers (100A ... 100N). During the session, a data communications link (130, 135) between the solution providers (120A ... 120N) and the solution shoppers (100A ... 100N) is provided. The solution broker (110) administers the flow of data between the solution providers (120A ... 120N) and the solution shoppers (100A ... 100N) over the data communications link (130, 135). The solution shoppers (100A ... 100N) are allowed to access the digital assets provided by the solution providers (120A ... 120N). Thus, the present invention provides access to digital assets while, at the same time, protecting the digital assets from being copied, reverse engineered, or otherwise misappropriated. In addition, the present invention allows the solution shoppers (100A ... 100N) and the solution providers (120A ... 120N) to share digital assets regardless of their respective geographical locations.
