Patent ID: 7243226

Claim:
A system for securing content over a network, comprising: a data store that is configured to store content; an update manager that is coupled to the data store and configured to change content in the data store at a pre-set rate, and to tag a portion of the content as exclusively memory resident at a client; and a content manager coupled to the update manager and the data store that is configured to perform actions, including: receiving a request for content from the client that includes an authenticator that is associated to the client through a concatenation of the client's remote Internet Protocol (IP) address and the client's local IP address, the concatenation being hashed to generate a digest and the digest being subsequently combined with a timestamp; and determining if the client is authentic, and if the client is authentic, providing content from the data store to the client at a predetermined rate, wherein the tagged portion of the content remains absent from a client's permanent data store thereby reducing theft of the content.
