Abstract:
1. A method for accessing content, comprising: wherein a first storage unit is associated with a second storage unit based on one or more identification values, the first storage unit being operatively coupled with a first device and the second storage unit being operatively coupled to a second device; accessing a binding type stored in a file header of the content, the binding type indicating how content in the first storage unit is associated with the second storage unit by indicating one or more identifiers, corresponding to the one or more identification values, that should be used to calculate one or more credentials required to access the content in the first storage unit and by identifying an algorithm to calculate the one or more credentials required to access the content in the first storage unit based on the one or more identification values; identifying, based on the binding type, the one or more identifiers, corresponding to the one or more identification values, for use in calculating the one or more credentials required to access the content in the first storage unit; identifying, based on the binding type, the algorithm for calculating the one or more credentials required to access the content in the first storage unit; calculating in the first device an account identifier based on the one or more identifiers of the binding type and based on the algorithm of the binding type for calculating the one or more credentials required to access the content in the first storage unit, the account identifier associated with the content stored in three-dimensional memory of the first storage unit; sending the account identifier from the first device to a server; receiving in the first device a credential from the second device via the server, the credential being calculated using the algorithm identified in the binding type based on the account identifier; and accessing in the first device the content in the first storage unit using the credential received from the second device via the server if the credential is valid.
