Abstract:
1. A system for securely communicating content as streaming data, said system comprising: a collection database for collecting content, said collection database having a unique collection database identifier, and each content collected in said collection database having a respectively unique content identifier; a closed network created on a public network, said closed network for twice-encrypting streamed content to be streamed to an authenticated device, and transmitting the twice-encrypted streamed content to the authenticated device during a closed network communication session established between said closed network and the authenticated device and through a closed connection established between said closed network and the authenticated device; and a dedicated device connected to said closed network, said dedicated device having a unique user identifier assigned to a user of said dedicated device, a unique content enabling component identifier, and a unique decryption key; wherein said dedicated device comprises: wherein said closed network comprises: wherein said first content enabling component is operable to initiate communication with said closed network by transmitting, via said first connection component, an authentication request AR including the content enabling component identifier of said first content enabling component to said second connection component, and said second connection component is operable to establish a closed connection between said dedicated device and said closed network upon authentication of said first content enabling component; wherein said first content enabling component is operable to transmit, via said first connection component, the user identifier of said dedicated device to one of said plurality of authentication centers through the established closed connection; wherein the one of said plurality of authentication centers is operable to: wherein said at least one content database is operable to, upon receiving the content request CR, notify said second content enabling component of the requested streamed content identified in the content request CR; wherein said second content enabling component, upon being notified of the requested streamed content, is operable to twice-encrypt the requested once-encrypted streamed content stored in said at least one content database with the authentication center identifier of the randomly chosen authentication center; wherein said at least one content database is operable to stream the twice-encrypted streamed content to said dedicated device via said second communication component through the established closed connection; and wherein said first content enabling component is operable to decrypt the twice-encrypted streamed content by using the decryption key of said first content enabling component and the notified authentication center identifier of the randomly chosen authentication center, transmit the decrypted streamed content to said processing unit to be output by said processing unit, and control said dedicated device so as not to permanently store the streamed content.
