Abstract
An online product distribution method provides copyright protection and enhanced control over user access to an online product through the use of a fingerprint combined with a double encryption method that provides two layers of protection against unauthorized access to a product prior to a release date. The double encryption is carried out by using two different keys, a first key which is a customer-specific key and a second key which is a failsafe key. The failsafe key is a protection against software errors or system misconfiguration resulting in the premature release of the keys necessary for decryption. A fingerprint containing a validation code can be used for an additional level of protection. The validation code can be dynamically allocated or predetermined. In one aspect, the validation codes are embedded into the data of the online product and can provide a fingerprint which traces the product as coming from a particular source.
